How Much Does House Clearance Cost in the UK?

A No-Nonsense Guide from Pockets Clearance

When it’s time to clear out a home—whether it’s a cluttered attic, a loved one’s estate, or a barn full of forgotten treasures—one question always looms: How much does house clearance cost in the UK?

At Pockets Clearance, we’re not your average “chuck it in a van” crew. We’re a family-run business with a knack for salvaging the unusual, rehoming retro finds, and giving your unwanted items a second life.

Let’s break down the costs, share some real stats, and show you why our approach is a little different.

Spoiler: it’s clearance with character.

💸 What Affects House Clearance Costs?

House clearance prices in the UK typically range from £500 upwards, depending on several factors:

🏠 Size of the Property

• A one-bedroom flat might cost £500 upwards

• A larger home or estate could range £2000 upwards+
  

📦 Volume of Items

More stuff = more time, labour, and disposal fees. A minimalist flat is far easier than a house stuffed with antiques, furniture, or forgotten oddities.

📍 Location

Prices vary by region. Urban areas may have higher disposal costs.
➡️ See our Birmingham house clearance services.

⚠️ Special Requirements

Handling hazardous materials, heavy lifting, or bereavement clearances can increase the price.
➡️ Learn more on our services page.

♻️ Salvage and Reuse

At Pockets Clearance, we sort, donate, and resell items wherever possible—meaning you might save if your stuff has value.
