House clearances we do in Hillingdon

Most of our clearance work in Hillingdon is end of tenancy or probate, in two kinds of property: the semis around Hillingdon Heath and Hillingdon village — family homes with garages, lofts and long gardens — and the flats around Hillingdon Hospital. Access runs from wide suburban avenues to tighter terraced streets, so give us the address and we will bring the right-sized van.

For probate we go room by room rather than filling the van as fast as we can: paperwork, photographs, jewellery and anything that might need a valuer are put to one side before anything moves, and we agree what the family is keeping first. A landlord’s brief is simpler — everything out, the property swept, the keys back — and we can time it around a check-out or the next tenancy starting.

Clearances are priced by the property, not the hour: from £195 for a single room, £395 for a one-bed flat, £595 for a two-bed home and £850 for a full house. Larger UB8 and UB10 properties with garaging and outbuildings go past the full-house band because they fill several loads, and those get one fixed all-in figure after a photo or video walk-through.

Hillingdon Council charges for bulky waste by the slot, not the item: £53 for most residents, £39 if you are over 65 and £94 for landlords. A slot covers up to six items, so a single mattress still costs the whole £53 and a seventh item means a second slot. Everything has to be at your boundary, at ground-floor level, by 6am — the crew will not come inside — and building and DIY waste, rubble, garden waste, tyres and hazardous items are refused. Collections run Monday to Friday on the next free date. For a few ordinary items you can carry out yourself, that is cheaper than us and we will tell you so; our Hillingdon bulky waste guide has the full rules.

There is no tip in Hillingdon itself. The borough’s household recycling centre is the Harefield Civic Amenity Site on New Years Green Lane (UB9 6LX), up in the far north-west corner of the borough: free for residents, open seven days from 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm. Cars need a HillingdonFirst card, vans need two forms of ID and are capped at 12 visits a year, and it takes household waste only. Since 15 July residents can also use Space Waye in Feltham, which is closer for the south of the borough. Our Harefield tip guide covers the ID and van rules.

House clearance in Hillingdon — your questions answered

Do you do end-of-tenancy clearances for Hillingdon landlords? expand_more

Yes, and the council route suits landlords badly: Hillingdon charges them £94 a slot for six items at a time, collected from the boundary only. We empty the whole property in one visit, sweep it, and fit the job around a check-out or the next tenant moving in.

Can you handle a probate clearance in Hillingdon Heath? expand_more

Yes. We walk the house with the family or the executor first, set aside documents, photographs and anything that might carry value, and agree what is being kept before a room is cleared. It can run over two visits if the family needs time in between.

How much is a house clearance in Hillingdon? expand_more

A single room is £195, a one-bed flat £395, a two-bed home £595 and a full three-bed-plus house £850. Bigger UB8 and UB10 properties with garages and outbuildings fill more than one van and are quoted as one fixed all-in figure after a walk-through, never an open-ended hourly rate.

What happens to the furniture you take out? expand_more

It is sorted, not tipped in one go. Furniture and household goods that are fit for reuse go to reuse; metal, wood, cardboard and electricals are separated by material; only what cannot be recovered goes for disposal. Upholstered seating is kept apart and goes down the separate route the law requires for it.

Can you clear a flat with no lift? expand_more

Yes. Every job has two crew, who carry everything down the stairs and out to the van; tell us the floor when you book so we allow the time. Parking is restricted near the hospital and the station, so we fix where the van will stop before the day.

Where we clear houses near Hillingdon

We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Hillingdon seven days a week. As well as UB8 and UB10 we work across Ickenham, Ruislip, Hayes, Cowley and Yiewsley, and the rest of the borough.

No surprise bills

What the price includes — and what it doesn't

The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.

Included in the price we quote

No line of this is billed separately afterwards.

  • Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
  • The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
  • Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
  • Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
  • VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
  • Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.

Priced separately, or not carried at all

Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.

  • Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
  • Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
  • Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
  • Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.

If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.

Where it actually goes

What happens to your waste after we drive away

Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.

  1. It goes in by hand

    Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.

  2. Sorted, not buried

    The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.

  3. Recovered by material

    Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.

  4. The bit nobody advertises

    Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.

  • Metal
  • Wood
  • Cardboard & paper
  • Textiles
  • Electricals (WEEE)
  • Green waste

We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.

Proof

Proof, not adjectives

Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.

We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
