Van Thats Quick provides complete house clearance in Ickenham, from clearing a single room to emptying an entire property. We handle the jobs that need doing properly and often sensitively: end-of-tenancy clearances, probate and bereavement clearances, downsizing, landlord resets between tenants, and family homes where decades of belongings have simply accumulated. Whatever the reason, our job is to leave the property empty, swept and ready — while treating you and the contents with respect throughout.
A house clearance is much more than rubbish removal. It means working through a whole property room by room, separating what is being kept, donated, recycled or disposed of, and dealing with everything from furniture and white goods to carpets, curtains, kitchenware, clothing, books and the contents of lofts, sheds and garages. Our two-person crews do all the lifting and carrying — down the half-turn staircases in Ickenham's 1930s semis, out through side gates, and into our Luton vans. You do not need to move a thing.
Many clearances come at difficult times. Probate and bereavement clearances in particular need patience and discretion, and we treat every home as if it were a relative's. We can work at your pace, set aside anything of personal or sentimental value for you to check before it leaves, and keep an eye out for documents, photographs and small valuables that are easy to miss in a loft or a bureau. Nothing is rushed and nothing leaves without your say-so.
Pricing depends on the size of the property and how much there is to clear, because volume and labour drive the cost. As a guide, a single room starts from £195As a guide, a single room is from £195, a one-bed flat from £495, a two-bed home from £750, a three-bed house from £1,095 and a four-bed-plus or large house from £1,595, each confirmed after a free survey (photos, a video call or a visit). Ickenham's larger detached and semi-detached homes usually warrant a quick look first — in person or from photos and a short video walk-through — so the fixed price is accurate. Labour, transport, disposal and recycling are all included, with nothing added at the end.
Responsible disposal is central to how we work. A good clearance diverts as much as possible away from landfill: furniture and appliances in usable condition can go to reuse and charity where suitable, and metal, wood, textiles, cardboard and electricals go for responsible disposal at licensed recycling centres and transfer stations. We are happy to explain how the contents of your clearance are handled and where they go, which matters to landlords, executors and agents who need to account for it.
For Ickenham landlords and letting agents, a fast, reliable clearance is often the difference between a void week and a re-let. We can turn properties around quickly — same-day and next-day slots are usually available, and our vans are based minutes away in Uxbridge — and hand back a clean, empty home ready for photographs and new tenants.
Ask us for the current insurance certificate, cover limits and exclusions that apply to your job before you book.
Clearances rarely fall on a convenient day, so we make the process as easy as we can. We work weekends and evenings, coordinate access with agents, neighbours or solicitors, and split a large clearance over more than one visit if that suits you better. If some items are being kept and others cleared, we separate them as we go and can move the keepers into storage or on to a new address in the same trip.
Everything else we do locally is on our Ickenham man and van page, and the full service detail sits on our parent house clearance page. To arrange a clearance, call 07400 640002, send photos on WhatsApp, or request a quote.
What an Ickenham house clearance usually looks like
Ickenham clearances have a character of their own. The village is built around substantial 1930s detached and semi-detached family homes, bungalows and quiet cul-de-sacs off Long Lane and Glebe Avenue, and many have had the same owners for decades. That means full lofts, packed garages, garden machinery, dressers and wardrobes built for rooms that were bigger than today's, and often a shed and greenhouse to empty as well. Downsizing and probate jobs are the ones we are called for most here, and they are rarely just the main rooms.
Practically, the village is straightforward to work in. Most properties have driveways, so a Luton van can sit off the road and the crew can shuttle straight out of the front door rather than fighting for a bay. The exceptions are the flats and terraces near Ickenham station and West Ruislip, where commuter parking restrictions apply and we agree a loading window in advance. Traffic is the other planning point: Swakeleys Roundabout and the A40 junction back up at rush hour and Long Lane is busy on the school run, so we start Ickenham clearances outside those windows and keep the day moving.
Because we are based in Uxbridge, a few minutes away via Park Road, we can get to Ickenham quickly, return for a second van load the same day if the property needs it, and keep the disposal runs short.
House clearance prices
Priced by the size of the property and how full it is, with labour, transport and disposal included. Every figure is a from price, confirmed after a free survey from photos, a video call or a visit.
One bedroom, box room or a cleared-out lounge.
A full one-bedroom flat cleared and swept.
A typical two-bedroom house or larger flat.
A typical three-bedroom family house, loft and garden included.
Four bedrooms or more, or a large, very full property.

How it works
Look at everything, outbuildings included
We survey the house, loft, garage, sheds and greenhouse, in person from nearby Uxbridge or by video.
Fixed price, no item count
One price for the whole Ickenham property, not six items at a time.
Off-road loading where we can
We back onto your drive, carry out every room and take down sheds or greenhouses if you want them gone.
Clean and empty
The house and garden are left swept and clear, ready for sale, letting or a family handover.
Six items at a time: the council route in Ickenham
House clearance in Ickenham is rarely a six-item job, and six items is exactly what Hillingdon's bulky waste service allows per booking. It costs £53 a time for residents (£39 for over-65s), and swapping one item for three black bags of smaller bits is allowed. That helps with an odd sofa. It does not help with a four-bedroom house off Swakeleys Road.
Read the list of things the council will not collect and you will recognise half a typical Ickenham garage: sheds, glass greenhouses, fence posts, garden waste, doors, kitchen units, radiators, pianos, paint and, for now, fridges and freezers. Those are precisely the things that fill the outbuildings on the village's bigger plots.
We take the lot in one visit, sheds and greenhouses included, with fridges priced as an eco fee from £55. For a larger home, our house clearance price guide shows from-prices up to £1,595 for four beds and above, always confirmed after a free survey.
There is a second catch with the council route: it is one booking slot per day. Clearing a full Ickenham family home six items at a time, collected from the front, could stretch across weeks while the house sits half-empty. Executors and sellers working to a completion date rarely have that long. One crew, one fixed price, usually one or two days, and you are done.
Harefield tip from Ickenham: close, but not built for a whole house
From Ickenham the borough tip is a short drive up Breakspear Road to Harefield Civic Amenity Site, New Years Green Lane, UB9 6LX. Residents use it free with a HillingdonFirst card, or a driving licence and a household bill. Turning right into New Years Green Lane from Harvil Road is discouraged, so you join the queue coming down from Harefield.
It accepts most household waste, from mattresses and sofas to rubble and scrap metal, and it has a reuse centre where good tables, chairs and cabinets can be donated. Textiles and electricals do not go to the reuse centre. Hiring a van? Bring photo ID and a bill under three months old, and remember the twelve-visits-a-year cap.
Doors open 8am to 4pm, last resident entry 3.45pm, and the council says Wednesday and Thursday are quieter. A large Ickenham house can easily be four or five van loads, which is four or five queues. If you only have a garden pile or a shed to shift, try our Ickenham rubbish collection instead.
We are fully insured and a licensed waste carrier, and we sort as we load so wood, metal and electricals go to the right licensed facilities. That keeps more out of landfill than a single tip run where everything goes in one skip.
Ickenham streets, drives and parking
Much of Ickenham is generous detached and semi-detached housing with driveways, which usually means the van can come off the road entirely. Around the station parades it is different: Ickenham sits in the on-street pay-and-display schemes where non-residents pay £5.50 for two hours, so we plan short, fast loads there or use a drive.
The Ickenham Village conservation area, covering the historic centre around the pump and the manor, brings older cottages with narrow doorways and steep stairs. We dismantle wardrobes and beds where needed rather than force them. Brackenbury Farm on Breakspear Road South is a scheduled ancient monument, a reminder that some of the older properties here need patience.
If a bay must be held for the van, Hillingdon charges £48.50 per space per day for a parking suspension. On most Ickenham jobs we never need one.
Bigger Ickenham plots often mean a long walk from the back garden to the road. We bring enough crew for the carry and price it honestly at survey rather than on the day. Gravel drives, side gates and garages at the rear are all normal for us here.
Tell us about hoarded rooms too: there is no limit on how full a room can be, we simply plan the right crew size and van loads.
House clearance in Ickenham — your questions answered
How much does a house clearance cost in Ickenham?
It depends on the size of the property and how full it is. As a guide, a single room is from £195, a one-bed flat from £495, a two-bed home from £750, a three-bed house from £1,095 and a four-bed-plus or large house from £1,595, each confirmed after a free survey (photos, a video call or a visit). For Ickenham's larger detached and semi-detached homes we give a firm fixed price after a quick survey in person or from photos.
How quickly can you clear a property in UB10?
Most clearances can be booked same-day or next-day, and many are done in a single visit. Our vans are based in Uxbridge, a few minutes from Ickenham, so landlords needing a fast void turnaround can usually be prioritised.
Do you clear lofts, garages, sheds and greenhouses too?
Yes. A full clearance means the whole property, not just the main rooms — lofts, cellars, garages, sheds, greenhouses and outbuildings included, which matters in Ickenham where plots and storage tend to be generous.
Will Hillingdon collect a shed or greenhouse from my Ickenham garden?
No. Sheds, glass greenhouses, fence posts and garden waste are all on the council's not-accepted list for bulky collections. We can dismantle and remove them as part of the clearance.
Can you take the fridge freezer when the council can't?
Yes. Hillingdon's bulky service is currently not collecting fridges or freezers. We take them as part of a clearance with an eco fee from £55, shown up front.
Is there anywhere to donate good furniture near Ickenham?
The reuse centre at Harefield Civic Amenity Site accepts good household items like tables, chairs and cabinets, though not textiles or electricals. When we clear, usable furniture goes to reuse or charity where suitable.

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 and ULEZ — all in the price. The Congestion Charge is passed through at cost, only on jobs inside the zone on a charging day.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
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, 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 33 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.
