Van Thats Quick provides complete house clearance across London, from clearing a single room to emptying an entire property. We handle the situations that need doing properly and often sensitively: end-of-tenancy clearances, probate and bereavement clearances, downsizing, landlord resets between tenants, and homes where years 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 more than rubbish removal. It means going 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 stairs, through narrow London hallways and around tight parking — and load it into our Luton vans. You do not need to move a thing or bring anything to the kerb.

We know that 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 to your pace, set aside anything of personal or sentimental value for you to check before anything leaves, and keep an eye out for documents, photographs and small valuables that are easy to miss. 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 are what drive the cost. As a guide, a single room starts from £195, a one-bedroom flat from £395, a typical two-bedroom home from £595, and a full house from £850. For larger or fuller properties we prefer to give a fixed price after a quick look — in person or from photos and a short video walk-through — so the quote is accurate and there are no surprises. Everything is included: labour, transport, disposal and recycling, with no hidden charges 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 are taken to 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 for landlords, executors and agents who need to account for it.

For 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 hand back a clean, empty home ready for photos and new tenants. We work across the whole of Greater London, from our Uxbridge base out to the north, south, east and central boroughs, and we are used to flats with no lift, permit-only streets and low-emission zones.

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 try to make the whole process as easy as possible. We can work at 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 will separate them as we go and, if you need, move the keepers into storage or to a new address in the same trip. The aim is always the same: to take a stressful job off your plate and hand back a clean, empty property with no loose ends.

To arrange a clearance, call 07400 640002, send photos on WhatsApp, or request a quote. We will give you a clear fixed price, agree a time that suits, and clear the property carefully, discreetly and completely.

House clearance — your questions answered

How much does a house clearance cost in London? expand_more

It depends on the size and how full the property is. As a guide, a single room starts from £195, a one-bed flat from £395, a two-bed home from £595 and a full house from £850. For a firm price we do a quick survey in person or from photos.

Do you handle probate and bereavement clearances? expand_more

Yes, sensitively and at your pace. We set aside documents, photographs and anything of personal or sentimental value for you to check, and nothing leaves without your approval.

How quickly can you clear a property? expand_more

Most clearances can be booked same-day or next-day, and many are completed in a single visit. For landlords needing a fast void turnaround, we prioritise quick slots.

What happens to the contents? expand_more

We separate what is kept, donated, recycled or disposed of. Usable furniture and appliances can go to reuse or charity, and recyclable materials go to licensed recycling centres, keeping landfill to a minimum.

Do I need to be there for the clearance? expand_more

It helps for us to confirm what stays and what goes, but for landlords and agents we can arrange access and work from a clear brief. Just talk to us about what suits.

Can you clear lofts, sheds and garages too? expand_more

Yes. A full clearance includes lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and outbuildings — we clear the whole property, not just the main rooms.

Where we clear houses

House, flat and probate clearances across Hillingdon, South Bucks and west London from our Uxbridge (UB8) base — Hayes, Gerrards Cross, Denham, West Drayton, Ruislip, Northwood, Feltham, Ealing and Hounslow. We do the lifting and sweep up after.

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.
