House clearances we do in Northwood
Probate is a large share of our Northwood work. The houses are big, the contents often go back decades, and whoever is arranging the clearance — an executor, a solicitor or the family — is usually dealing with a bereavement at the same time. So it starts with a walk round the property, agreeing room by room what is being kept, donated, valued or cleared.
Anything that might carry value — furniture, jewellery, art, books, militaria, tools — is set aside rather than loaded, and we flag what looks worth a valuer’s eye instead of quietly removing it. Then we clear room by room, through the garages, outbuildings and loft to the garden, on the executor’s timetable: around a completion date, or after the family has had the weeks it needs to go through things.
The bands run from a single room at £195 through a one-bed flat (£395) and a two-bed home (£595) to a full house at £850. Many HA6 houses are bigger than that once the garage, loft and outbuildings are counted, and those are quoted as one fixed all-in figure — a single number an executor can account for, never an open-ended hourly rate.
The council route in HA6 is Hillingdon’s bulky waste collection: £53 a slot, £39 for residents over 65 and £94 for landlords, with up to six items in each slot. It collects from the boundary only — out at ground level by 6am, nothing fetched from inside — and it takes no building or DIY waste, garden waste, rubble, tyres or hazardous items. Slots are booked Monday to Friday against the next free date, which at busy times can be several days away. For a few ordinary pieces you can carry to the front yourself it is cheaper than us, but a garage, loft or whole-house clear-out runs past six items straight away. Our council versus man and van comparison shows where the line falls.
Northwood’s nearest tip is the borough’s Harefield Civic Amenity Site on New Years Green Lane (UB9 6LX), over toward Harefield: free for Hillingdon residents, seven days a week, 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm. A car needs a HillingdonFirst card. A van or trailer needs photo ID plus a household bill from the last three months, both in the driver’s own name, and is capped at 12 visits a calendar year — take the hire agreement as well if the van is hired. It takes household waste only. Our Harefield tip guide sets out the rules.

House clearance in Northwood — your questions answered
Can you work to a solicitor’s or executor’s timetable?
Yes. If the house is being sold, we fit the clearance around the completion date; if the family needs several weeks to go through things first, that is normal and we plan around it. The job can also be split into two visits.
Will you set aside things that might be valuable?
Always. Jewellery, art, books, militaria, tools and good furniture are put to one side rather than loaded, and we point out anything we think deserves a valuer’s look. Nothing goes in the van until you have agreed it can.
How much is a probate clearance in Northwood?
The same property-size bands as any clearance — a full house is £850 — but many HA6 houses fill several van loads once garages, lofts and outbuildings are included. Those are quoted as one fixed all-in figure after a photo or video walk-through.
Can you clear a house on a private road or behind gates?
Yes — private roads round Moor Park, gravel drives and gated frontages are all familiar. Tell us about the access when you book and we will plan the van position and bring enough crew for the carry.
Do you clear the garden and outbuildings too?
Yes. Garages, sheds, workshops and the garden are part of the quote as long as we know about them, and in a long-held Northwood house they are often where most of the volume is. A video walk-through that takes them in gets you the most accurate fixed price.

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.
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 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.
