House clearances we do in Chorleywood

Chorleywood clearances are usually big ones. The housing stock around the Common and up the lanes towards Loudwater is large, detached and often held by the same family for decades, with a garage, a loft in use, a shed or workshop, and sometimes an annexe. A full clearance here is rarely a single van load, so we quote one fixed all-in figure for however many loads it genuinely takes rather than starting an hourly clock.

Much of the work is probate and downsizing. We go room by room with an inventory instead of filling the van as fast as possible: paperwork, photographs, jewellery and anything that should be valued is set aside before it moves, and we agree what is staying before we start. We can work to a solicitor’s or executor’s timetable, split the job over two visits so the family can go through what remains, and clear to broom-swept for a sale or handover.

Pricing is by property size rather than by the hour: £195 for a single room, £395 for a one-bed flat, £595 for a two-bed home and £850 for a full house. Larger WD3 properties with outbuildings sit above the full-house band because they fill several loads, and that is quoted as one fixed figure from photos or a video walk-through.

Two different councils handle big waste in WD3. Three Rivers District Council runs the home bulky collection — £64 for up to three items, then £25 for each extra item up to a maximum of ten, with white goods and TVs priced separately and a 50% discount on two collections a year for residents on certain benefits. Hertfordshire County Council runs the recycling centres. Confirm current figures on the council’s booking page before you rely on them.

Your nearest tip is Rickmansworth household waste recycling centre on Riverside Drive (WD3 1FS), run by Hertfordshire County Council and free to use — but if you turn up in a van or with a trailer you need a free ePass arranged first. Our Three Rivers bulky waste guide and Rickmansworth recycling centre guide cover the rules in full.

House clearance in Chorleywood — your questions answered

Do you do probate clearances in Chorleywood? expand_more

Yes, and given the housing here it is a large part of our WD3 work. We work room by room with an inventory, set aside documents, photographs and anything that ought to be valued before it moves, and agree what is being kept. We can fit around a solicitor’s timetable and clear to broom-swept.

How much is a full house clearance in WD3? expand_more

A full house is £850, a two-bed home £595, a one-bed flat £395 and a single room £195. Many Chorleywood houses are larger than that band once you include the garage, loft and outbuildings — those are quoted as one fixed all-in figure after photos or a video walk-through.

Will you clear the garage, shed and loft as well? expand_more

Yes, and that is usually where most of the volume is in Chorleywood. Lofts, garages, workshops, sheds and summer houses are all included in the quote provided we know about them — a video walk-through taking in the outbuildings gets you the most accurate fixed price.

Can you do it in two visits? expand_more

Yes, and for probate it is often the better way. A first visit takes the obvious bulk and general rubbish, the family then has time to go through what is left, and we come back for the rest. Each visit is priced on what it actually clears.

What happens to the contents afterwards? expand_more

They are sorted rather than tipped as one load. Furniture and household goods fit for reuse go to reuse, metals, timber, cardboard and electricals are separated by material, and only what cannot be recovered goes to disposal. You get a waste transfer note.

Where we clear houses near Chorleywood

We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Chorleywood seven days a week. As well as WD3 we work across Rickmansworth, Little Chalfont, Amersham, Northwood and Beaconsfield, and the villages in between.

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.
