How much does a house clearance cost in Burton on Trent?
Unlike most local clearance companies, we publish our prices up front. Single items start at £50. A full van (1,000kg) is £450. No hidden extras, no meter running — every quote is fixed in writing before we start.
For a rough guide, a 1-bed flat typically needs between a ½ and full van; a 2-bed is usually a full van; a 3-bed may need one or two vans. Student HMOs are priced by room and contents. Every job is unique — final quotes factor in access and exact volume.

How long does a house clearance take?
Most jobs are finished in a single day. As a rough guide:
Single items and small clearances — 1 to 2 hours, often same-week.
One or two-bed property — half a day to a full day with a team of two.
Three-bed property — a full day with a team of two.
Four-bed or very cluttered — may run to a second day; we'll confirm when we quote.
Probate with careful sorting — add half a day to allow items to be set aside properly.

Probate and deceased estate clearances in Burton on Trent
Clearing a loved one's home is difficult, and there is rarely a good time to do it. We move at your pace, handle items with care, and set aside anything you want to keep, donate, or pass to other family members before the rest is cleared.
If you are working through a solicitor or executor and cannot be at the property yourself, we can collect keys and send photographs through at every stage — start of day, items set aside, and final sweep.
Can you clear a probate house before probate is granted?
Everyday household items can usually be cleared before probate is issued. Items of significant value — antiques, jewellery, art, or anything likely to form part of the inheritance tax calculation — should be left in place, valued, and recorded before removal. We'll flag anything we think falls into that category during the quote and before we start.
Coordinating with solicitors and executors
We regularly work directly with solicitors handling estates across Derbyshire and the Midlands. We can invoice the estate, provide waste transfer notes for the records, and coordinate access entirely through the solicitor's office if the family prefer.
End of tenancy clearances for Burton landlords
Burton has a healthy rental market, particularly around Shobnall, Horninglow, and the town centre. We turn end-of-tenancy clearances around within 48 hours of the call — fixed-price, waste transfer note provided every time, key collection if you're off-site.
Why this matters for landlords
Under the Duty of Care (Environmental Protection Act 1990), you as the landlord remain responsible for any waste that leaves your property — even if someone else removes it. If an unlicensed clearance firm fly-tips items from your flat, the fine lands with you. Using a registered waste carrier and keeping the waste transfer note is the evidence you need.
We provide that paperwork on every job, without being asked.
House clearance vs skip hire vs DIY — which is right for you?
Not every job needs a clearance company. Here's an honest comparison so you can work out what fits.
Honest summary: if you have a half-skip of waste, are happy to do the loading, and don't need a paper trail — a skip may be cheaper. For anything beyond one or two rooms, or for probate / end-of-tenancy work where the paperwork matters, a professional clearance usually works out better value once time is factored in.
