Whether you are clearing a deceased estate, preparing a property for sale or rent, or simply decluttering, one of the first questions you'll ask is: “How much does a house clearance actually cost?”
Understanding house clearance costs doesn't have to be confusing. Unlike hiring a skip where you pay for a fixed container size regardless of how much you put in, professional house clearance in Nottingham is charged based on the proportion of space your waste takes up in our Luton van, including all two-person labor, heavy lifting, and commercial tipping fees.
To keep our services fair, clear, and transparent, we work to a simple load-based pricing structure so you only pay for the exact volume you fill:
Please note: A full van load is subject to the UK legal road weight limit of up to 1 tonne (1,000 kg). Most full property clearances take multiple van loads (typically 2 to 4 full Luton van loads) depending on the size of the house, furniture volume, and level of clutter. We charge per load or partial load filled.
At Donnelly’s Recycling, a house clearance isn’t just about emptying a property—it’s about handling belongings responsibly. We are committed to keeping as much waste out of landfill as possible through active sorting, recycling, and rehoming items across Nottinghamshire.
