How much does a house clearance cost in Bexleyheath?

A typical Bexleyheath house clearance costs around £360 plus VAT with RLE Waste Clearance, because a three-bed semi with a full loft and a garage usually fills a full truck of 15 cubic yards. A loft on its own is nearer a quarter of a truck, and a large detached house in Old Bexley can need a second load.

There are 13 load sizes between the smallest load and a full truck, so you pay for the space your things take up. Each load includes its loading time, and the price is confirmed before work starts. Fridges, TVs and a few other items cost extra, as listed under extra items. Send photos to 07534 244774 or call 020 8611 2586, and you'll have a price before we book a date.

What we take

What comes out of a Bexleyheath house

  • Loft contents, from boxes and suitcases to old toys and decorations
  • Garage and shed contents, and the shed itself, dismantled
  • Three-piece suites, beds, wardrobes and dining sets
  • Fridges and fridge freezers at £60 plus VAT each, and chest freezers at £90 plus VAT
  • TVs and monitors, at £10 plus VAT each
  • Washing machines, cookers and other white goods, with range cookers £50 plus VAT
  • Garden waste from borders, hedges and lawns
  • Paint, at £10 plus VAT per 5 litres

We can't take chemicals or other hazardous waste. We don't take asbestos down, but we can collect it once it has been removed, so if a garage or shed roof might contain it, tell us before the day.

What size load is a typical Bexleyheath house?

A typical Bexleyheath semi with a loft and a garage fills about a full truck, and a four-bed detached house in Old Bexley usually needs a second load. More than half the homes in Bexleyheath ward are semis and about 43% are owned outright, and in Old Bexley's St Mary's and St James ward about one home in four is detached, going by the 2021 Census (external site). That means a lot of houses with a loft, a garage and a shed to empty.

  • A loft on its own: usually a quarter to a third of a truck, £130 plus VAT to £150 plus VAT.
  • A single garage used for storage: about half a truck, 7.5 cubic yards, at £180 plus VAT.
  • What's left after a downsize, once the removal van has gone: roughly three-quarters of a truck, £260 plus VAT.
  • A four-bed detached house in Old Bexley: a full truck plus a second load sized to what's left, for example £360 plus VAT and then £150 plus VAT.

Loading time comes with each load, 50 minutes for three-quarters of a truck and 60 for a full one. Extra labour beyond that is £30 plus VAT per 30 minutes, agreed before we carry on.

How does a Bexleyheath clearance work when you're downsizing?

A downsizing clearance in Bexleyheath fits around the move: tell us what's going with you, label it or keep it in one room, and we clear everything else, from the loft down. If the new place is ready first, we can come after the removal van has gone, so only the unwanted things are left.

Sort anything you want to sell or give away before we arrive, because everything that goes on the truck leaves with us. If the house isn't being emptied yet, loft clearance and garage clearance cover those rooms on their own.

Why does Bexley's bulky collection rarely suit a Bexleyheath clearance?

Bexley's bulky collection rarely suits a whole Bexleyheath house because everything has to be outside first, and bags from clearances are turned away. The council's fees and booking rules are on our Bexley and Bexleyheath page, and you book on the council's bulky collections (external site) page. Items must be off the highway, the crews won't collect from rear gardens without side access, and the service excludes garden waste and large amounts of black sacks from clearances.

That works for a sofa and a bed frame. A car takes only a fraction of a house's contents, so doing it yourself would mean many trips. For a whole house, we carry everything out ourselves, bags included, and it all goes in the same load.

Questions

Questions about house clearance in Bexleyheath

Anything else? Ask us on WhatsApp or give us a call.

Clearing a Bexleyheath semi with RLE Waste Clearance includes two people carrying everything out, from the loft down to the shed, the loading time for your load size, the drive away and disposal. Garage contents and a dismantled shed go in the same load as the house. Fridges, TVs and paint are charged on top, as shown under extra items.

Bexley's bulky collection suits a few large items left outside, and its fees are on our Bexley and Bexleyheath page. A whole Bexleyheath house is a different job: the council won't collect from inside or from rear gardens without side access, and it excludes garden waste and large amounts of black sacks from clearances. Our crew carries everything out, bags included, in one load.

A Bexleyheath loft can be cleared on its own, often before a sale or a move. The crew brings everything down through the hatch and out to the truck, and you pay only for the space it takes, roughly a quarter to a third of a truck for a full, boarded loft. Loft clearance has more on those jobs.

Furniture you're keeping stays in the Bexleyheath house if you put it in one room or label it, and tell us when you book. The crew clears everything else. If a removal company is coming the same week, let us know which day so the two don't clash, and we can come after the van has gone.

A Bexleyheath house can be cleared without you there, as long as the crew can get in and knows what's going. A key safe, a neighbour or an estate agent can let the crew in, and you can pay by card or bank transfer on completion. You'll get a waste transfer note and a receipt either way.

A garden shed at a Bexleyheath house is taken apart by the crew and loaded with the rest, along with whatever is stored inside. If the roof is old cement sheeting or anything else that could contain asbestos, tell us first. We don't take asbestos down, but once the roof is off we can collect it, kept apart from the rest. Garden clearance covers the borders and hedges too.

Everything we take from a Bexleyheath house, from loft boxes to the dismantled shed, goes to a waste transfer station, where it's sorted. RLE Waste Clearance doesn't buy or value contents, so nothing is knocked off for anything that might be worth something: the price is the load. You get a waste transfer note and a receipt on completion.

Who takes the waste from a Bexleyheath house matters because Bexley Council issued more than 241 fixed penalties to residential properties in 2024 to 2025 (Bexley Council (external site)), and it tells residents to use a registered waste carrier. RLE Waste Clearance is an upper tier registered waste carrier, broker and dealer, number CBDU175566, and every job comes with a receipt. Any firm can be checked on the gov.uk waste carrier search (external site).
