House Clearance in North London: The Straightforward Option
If you need a property cleared in North London, you have options. Skip-hire. Charity collections. Gumtree ads. None of them are a proper house clearance solution for a whole property.
I have run removals and clearance across North London since 2010. Finchley, Muswell Hill, Wood Green, Barnet, Enfield, Islington, Camden. I know the parking rules, the access issues, and the quickest routes to the licensed recycling facility. Same crew who handle house removals, same insurance cover, and a proper waste transfer note.
Here is what it costs and what is included.

Pricing for House Clearance in North London
All prices are for full clearance of a property within the M25. Every price includes VAT. The quote covers everything: labour, transport, disposal fees, and the waste transfer note. No hidden extras.
| Property Size | Price (inc VAT) | Duration | Crew |
|---|
| 1-bed flat / studio | £300-£500 (inc VAT) | 3-6 hours | 2 people |
| 2-bed house / flat | £450-£700 (inc VAT) | 6-8 hours | 2-3 people |
| 3-bed house | £700-£1,100 (inc VAT) | 8-12 hours | 3 people |
| 4+ bed house | £1,000-£1,500+ (inc VAT) | 1-2 days | 3-4 people |
What is included. Every clearance comes with a full waste transfer note for traceable disposal, licensed recycling (not landfill), and insurance up to £25,000 as standard. The same crew that handles house removals does your clearance. No hidden fees, no subcontracted teams.
Storage offer. If you are keeping any items, I can arrange
container storage from £30/week (inc VAT) and the first week is FREE with any clearance booking.
What Affects the Final Price
- Volume of items. More items = more time + more trips to the recycling centre.
- Specialist items. Fridges, freezers, mattresses, electronics carry extra disposal fees.
- Property access. Walk-ups, narrow staircases, parking restrictions all add time.
- Preparation. Ready-to-go items are faster. Packing help can be quoted as an extra.
What House Clearance Includes
Every clearance job includes a full waste transfer note, licensed recycling (not landfill), insurance up to £25,000, the same crew that does removals, and the property left empty and swept clean.
Not handled as part of a standard clearance: spoiled or rotting food, wet waste or liquids, perishable items, hazardous materials. Carpet removal and deep cleaning can be arranged as add-ons. Structural demolition, strip-out, and building waste are not included.
How the Process Works
1. Get in touch. Call 0207 118 7778 or use the quote form. Tell me the property size, location, and roughly how much needs clearing. If it is a probate or hoarded property, mention it upfront.
2. Survey and quote. Video survey is standard (free, roughly 20 minutes). In-person for large or complex properties. Fixed price within 12-36 hours. Quote valid for 28 days.
3. Clearance day. Crew arrives with the right vehicle, loads your items, transports to a licensed recycling facility. The property is left empty and swept clean.
4. Waste transfer note issued. All items go to a licensed facility. Recyclables are separated and processed on site. The waste transfer note is your legal protection.
What Happens to Your Items
All items go to a licensed recycling facility. Metals, electronics, wood, plastics, paper, and glass are separated for recycling. Whatever cannot be recycled goes to licensed disposal. You get a waste transfer note as your legal record.
I do not operate a charity donation service. If you have specific items you want donated, contact British Heart Foundation or Emmaus directly before the clearance date.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I pay for house clearance in the UK?+
House clearance costs in North London vary by property size and what needs clearing. A 1-bed flat typically runs £300-£500, a 2-bed £450-£700, and a 3-bed house £700-£1,100, all inclusive of VAT. Specialist items like fridges and mattresses carry extra disposal fees. Get a survey before accepting any quote.
What will a house clearance take?+
A full clearance means I take everything inside the property: furniture, appliances, boxes, clothes, general household items. I transport it all to a licensed facility. You get a waste transfer note as proof of legal disposal.
How quickly can you clear a house?+
It depends on the property size. A 1-bed flat takes 3-6 hours. A 3-bed house is 8-12 hours. Larger or hoarded properties can take 1-2 days. I can often schedule within a few days of the survey.
What happens to the items you remove?+
All items go to a licensed recycling facility. Metals, electronics, wood, plastics, paper, and glass are separated for recycling. Non-recyclables go to licensed disposal. A waste transfer note is provided for every job.
Do you clear garages and sheds too?+
Yes. Garages, sheds, lofts, basements, and outbuildings are all included as part of a full property clearance. If you only need a garage or shed cleared, that is possible too with a minimum charge. Mention outbuildings at survey stage.
Can you clear a hoarded property?+
Yes, I handle hoarded properties regularly. Mention it when you call so I can prepare the right crew size. The same rules apply: licensed disposal, waste transfer note, property left empty and swept clean.
Do you provide a waste transfer note?+
Yes, every job includes a full waste transfer note. This is your legal proof that waste went to a licensed facility. If your waste is traced back to you after being fly-tipped, you face a £5,000 fine. Always ask for one before hiring any clearance company.
Do you handle probate house clearance?+
Yes. Probate clearances are something I handle regularly. The process is the same: survey, fixed quote, clearance, waste transfer note. Call me on 0207 118 7778 to discuss your situation.
Are you moving house and need clearance too?+
If you are already moving house with me, I can clear the old property as an add-on. You get the same crew, the same insurance, and combined pricing. See my
house removals page for full details on moving services. Mention clearance at survey stage.
How do I get a quote for house clearance in North London?+
Call 0207 118 7778 or use the quote form. I will arrange a video survey and provide a fixed price within 12-36 hours. Quotes are valid for 28 days with no obligation.
What about parking in North London?+
North London has a mix of controlled parking zones, permit areas, and residents bays. I can help arrange parking suspensions where needed. The actual permits are handled by the resident. I will advise on cost and timeline when I quote.
Can you help with packing before the clearance?+
If the property has items that need packing beforehand, I can quote for an extra crew member. The standard rate assumes items are ready to go. Mention packing help at survey stage.
Can I use storage for items I want to keep?+
Yes. If you have furniture or belongings you want to keep but do not have space for right now, I can arrange container storage from £30/week (inc VAT). The first week is FREE with any clearance booking. Your items stay secure in a sealed container at a storage facility. Call me to discuss how much space you need.
