House clearance in Bromley for probate, downsizing and empty homes

Bromley Council runs a bulky waste collection for individual items, priced from £43, rather than a full house clearance. RLE Waste Clearance prices a Bromley house clearance by the space it takes in the truck, so a part-furnished flat costs less than a packed house. A quarter truck is £130 plus VAT, and the price is confirmed from photos first.

Bromley's bulky waste collection can do instead of a house clearance for a few items you can put out at the front, but the crew doesn't come inside and it won't take a whole house. Our Bromley bulky waste collection page sets out the council's fees and rules and compares the two.

A flat above a Bromley High Street shop with no lift is a normal job: two people carry everything down the stairs and load it. The High Street is pedestrianised, so when you send photos, tell us the floor and whether the building is reached from a rear passage such as Tetty Way. Any extra labour for a long carry is agreed when we price it.

A parent's house in Bromley can be cleared without you there, as long as the crew can get in and it's clear what stays. A key safe or a neighbour with a key works. Mark or photograph what you're keeping, agree the price from your photos, and pay on completion by bank transfer or card, with a receipt.

Everything we take from a Bromley house clearance goes to a waste transfer station, where it's sorted, and you get a waste transfer note and a receipt on completion. RLE Waste Clearance doesn't buy or value contents, so the price is the load and nothing is knocked off for a good sideboard or a newer sofa. Anything you'd rather sell or pass on to family is best set aside before the crew arrives.

Chemicals and other hazardous waste are the only things we won't take in a Bromley house clearance, and Bromley's hazardous waste service (external site) deals with those. Asbestos that has already been removed can go if you tell us about it first, and everything else can go in the load, including kitchen units, bathroom suites, garden waste and dismantled sheds, with fridges, mattresses and TVs charged as extras.

A house clearance firm in Bromley can be checked by asking for its waste carrier number and looking it up on the GOV.UK register, and by asking for a receipt when the job is done. RLE Waste Clearance is a registered upper tier waste carrier, CBDU175566, listed on the Environment Agency public register (external site).

A Bromley house can be cleared before a sale completes or a tenancy ends, as long as the date is agreed when you book. We work 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, and the price is confirmed from photos before the day, so you know the cost in advance. Tell us the completion or move-out date when you send photos.
