House clearances we do in Maidenhead
Maidenhead clearances run from new-build apartments near the station and the regenerated town centre, with loading bays, lifts and strict time windows, to the older streets around Boyn Hill and larger detached houses out towards Pinkneys Green, Cookham, Bray and Taplow with long gravel drives and gates. Quality furniture is common here — antique pieces, glass units, marble tops — and our crews wrap and carry rather than drag. Where a home has become badly overfilled, our hoarder house clearance service takes it at a pace the family can manage.
A Maidenhead house clearance very often follows the death of a parent or a move into care, and we treat that as a family’s home, not a rubbish job. You give us a keep list and we walk it with you; papers, photographs, cash in books and jewellery are set aside as we go, and nothing goes in the van without your say-so. If the executor or solicitor is running the estate, we take instructions from them and collect keys. Our bereavement and probate house clearance page explains the process, and if the home was rented, see our guide to clearing a council house after a death.
We also clear homes being sold and lets between tenants. 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). A large SL6 house with a garage, loft and garden buildings often fills more than one van, and that is still quoted as one fixed all-in figure after a free survey, before we start; our house clearance cost guide explains what moves it. From our Uxbridge (UB8) base Maidenhead is usually 25 to 30 minutes, and we work 7am to 10pm seven days a week.
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead runs its bin collections through Serco: weekly recycling and food waste, a fortnightly black bin, and an £89 garden waste subscription. Bins have to be at the front boundary by 7am and no side waste is taken, and bulky furniture you cannot get to the boundary yourself is outside what the kerbside service does. Clearing a whole house is a different job altogether.
Maidenhead’s tip is Stafferton Way Household Waste and Recycling Centre (SL6 1AY), open seven days from 8am, for Royal Borough residents only — bring your Advantage Card, or photo ID and proof of address. It has a 2.1m height barrier and no pedestrian access, a van needs a fresh permit for every single visit, and DIY waste is capped at six sacks a month. A house’s contents means a lot of permits. Our Maidenhead tip guide has the details.

Royal Borough large item collection vs a Maidenhead house clearance
Need a house clearance in Maidenhead? Check the maths on the council option first. The Royal Borough's large item collection is priced on a sliding scale (fees as at 1 April 2026):
- One item £50, two £57, three £65, four £72
- Five items, the maximum, £80
- Fridges and freezers £55 each, and no American-style fridge-freezers
- A reduced fee if you receive housing benefit
The counting is strict. A table and four chairs is five items. A three-piece suite is three. Everything must be liftable by two people, glass doors have to come off a sideboard first, and the list of refusals is long: pianos, sheds, doors, mirrors, kitchen units, bathroom fittings, rubble, paint and garden waste among them. That rules out half of a crowded Maidenhead garage on its own. You also still have to get every item out to a suitable collection point yourself, then wait for a slot.
We take the lot, piano and shed included where access allows, in one visit with one fixed figure. See what clearing a whole SL6 house actually costs, or call for a free survey.
Stafferton Way: why a full house beats the tip run
Maidenhead's own tip is Stafferton Way Household Waste and Recycling Centre, SL6 1AY. It is open seven days, 8am to 7.45pm last entry from April to September and 8am to 4.15pm last entry from October to March. In other words, winter tip runs end before school pick-up, and every load you bring is yours to lift out and sort into the right bays yourself, trip after trip.
- Residents only: show your Advantage Card, or photo ID plus a council tax bill or utility bill, displayed on the dashboard.
- A permit for every van visit: apply online each time, and screenshot it, because the council warns mobile signal on site can be poor.
- Size limits: 2.1m height barrier, vans over 5.5m turned away, trailers no bigger than 2m by 1.3m.
- DIY waste: one car-boot load, six sacks, per month.
- Never accepted: tyres, UPVC windows and door frames, loft insulation, construction and demolition waste, ink cartridges.
Furniture and mattresses are taken, but they cannot be recycled, so they go to general waste. Clearing a detached house in Pinkneys Green this way is a fortnight of permits and queues. With us it is one day, fully insured, by a licensed waste carrier, with sofas from £44 and fridges from £55 itemised as eco fees on the quote.
Parking and access for clearances from Furze Platt to the Fishery
Maidenhead's streets mix town-centre flats, Victorian roads and big riverside plots, and each needs a different van plan. Where restrictions apply outside the door, the Royal Borough issues parking dispensations: £38 for the first day, £7.50 for each extra day, £70 for a week, with a £75 late charge if you need one inside 48 hours. A suspension that reserves a specific bay for a residential move costs £38 per bay per day but needs 28 days' notice, so we normally sort the dispensation for you during the survey.
The town is a patchwork of named areas: Maidenhead Court, North Town, Furze Platt, Pinkneys Green, Highway, Tittle Row, Boyn Hill, Fishery and Bray Wick, with Cox Green, Altwood and Woodlands Park joined on, and the Fishery Estate running along the Thames to Bray (source). That means:
Each one changes how long loading takes, so it shapes the quote.
- gated and gravel drives where we walk a trolley rather than reverse a van
- apartment blocks near the station with booked lifts and loading windows
- family semis in Cox Green and Furze Platt with packed lofts and garages
- riverside homes where outbuildings and boathouses add volume
Whatever the street, you get a two-person crew who do every lift, a house left swept, and no limits on how full it is. Hoarded homes are handled patiently, at the family’s pace, with a keep list honoured to the last box. Ring 07400 640002 for a free survey this week.
House clearance in Maidenhead — your questions answered
How much does a house clearance cost in Maidenhead?
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). That covers the crew, the van, the carrying and the disposal, fixed from photos, a video call or a visit before anything is loaded. Larger SL6 houses with garaging and outbuildings may fill several loads; you still get one fixed figure for the whole job after the survey.
Mum rented from the council in Maidenhead — how long do we have to clear it?
Usually not long. A council or housing association tenancy normally ends about four weeks after notice is given, and rent is charged to the estate until then, so the clearance is often the deadline. Shelter England’s guidance is that you can ask the landlord for more time, and it is worth asking before you hand the notice in. We can usually clear inside that window, keys collected from whoever holds them; our guide to clearing a council house after a death walks through it.
Could we just take it to the Maidenhead tip ourselves?
For a car-load, yes, if you are a Royal Borough resident: Stafferton Way opens at 8am seven days. But there is no pedestrian access, a van needs a new permit for every visit, and DIY waste is capped at six sacks a month, so a full house becomes a long list of permits and trips. A clearance does it in one go.
Do I need a permit to park your van outside my Maidenhead house?
Only where parking restrictions apply. The Royal Borough's dispensation is £38 for the first day and £7.50 per extra day; we arrange it as part of the job so you do not have to.
Will the Royal Borough collect a piano or a shed?
No. Pianos, sheds, doors, mirrors, kitchen units and rubble are all on the council's refused list for large item collections. See the full list. We take them in a clearance where access allows.
Can I hire a van and do Stafferton Way myself?
You can, but every van visit needs its own online permit, vans over 5.5m are refused, and winter last entry is 4.15pm. For a full house that adds up to many separate trips.

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.
