What we take
Waste clearance
House, garage, shed, loft, office or yard. One item or the entire contents — we load it, and you do not lift a thing.
What that covers
House clearance
A full house or a single room. We load it, sweep up, and leave it ready for the agent.

Business clearance
Offices, units, shops and yards — out of hours where the trading day matters.

Garage clearance
Thirty years of paint tins, offcuts and things that might come in handy one day.
See more →Probate clearance
Unhurried, documented, and used to working alongside the firm handling the estate.
See more →Clearance is the part of the job where somebody else carries it. You do not bag it up, you do not sort it, and you do not get it down the stairs. We turn up, load it, sweep up, and leave you the paperwork proving where it went.
The pages above are the same service pointed at different jobs, because a probate clearance and a shop fit-out strip are not really the same afternoon even though the van is identical.
What it costs
Volume and access, essentially. How much there is, and how far it has to be carried to get to a vehicle. A three-bed with a driveway and a first-floor flat with a shared stair and no parking are different prices with the same furniture in them.
Two things reliably bring the number down:
- Metal comes off the price. Radiators, appliances, bed frames, tools, an old boiler, copper out of a stripped bathroom. Its scrap value is set against what you owe rather than pocketed quietly at your expense. On a metal-heavy job that is a substantial difference, and occasionally it goes the other way and we pay you.
- Anything genuinely saleable is worth more to you than to us. If we spot it, we will say so and tell you to sell it yourself.
There is no from-price on this site, deliberately. A from-price is a number chosen because it is the smallest one that is technically true, and everybody who quotes one knows what it is for.
What we will not take
Asbestos. LPG, propane and acetylene cylinders. Drums of chemicals or oil. Those need somebody with a different licence and different kit, and anybody telling you otherwise is telling you what you want to hear.
Part-used paint and fuel need a separate route — not a problem, but flag it when you ask rather than on the day. Everything else, ask: the list of things we take is far longer than the list we do not.
The paperwork, and why it is your business
Every load comes with a waste transfer note. That is not us being thorough — it is the document that decides who is liable if your waste is later found in a lay-by.
A householder has a legal duty to check that whoever takes their waste is registered to have it, and the penalty for not checking runs to £600 even when somebody else did the dumping. Our registration numbers are in the footer of every page so you can check us in about a minute. See licensing and duty of care, or the guides if you want the whole picture before you ring anyone at all.
Bags, if a full clearance is more than you need
If the waste is going to appear gradually rather than all at once, tonne and hippo bags are usually the cheaper answer — no hire clock, and they sit on the drive instead of the road.
On the job
What this actually looks like
How it works
Three steps. No site visit.
Send a photo
WhatsApp a picture of whatever needs shifting. No need to tidy it first or guess the weight.
Get a price
A straight number back, usually the same day. The real price for your actual load.
It’s gone
We turn up, load it, sweep up, and you get the paperwork showing where it went.
The money bit
What actually decides the price
Nobody likes “it depends”. Here is what it actually depends on, so you can guess pretty well before you even send the photo.
01
How much there is
The biggest single factor, and the one the photo answers on its own. We price by what it takes to shift — part of a van, a full van, one tipper load, three.
02
What’s in it
Some things carry a disposal charge by law — fridges, mattresses, tyres, plasterboard, paint. Others go the other way: if there’s real metal in the load, that value comes off your price.
03
How hard it is to reach
Kerbside and a wide drive is quick. Up two flights, through a narrow side gate, or forty yards down a wet garden is not. We’re charging for the time, not punishing you for the stairs.
04
Where you are
Wymondham and Hethersett are on the doorstep. Beccles is a run. It’s rarely the deciding factor, but it’s honest to say it counts for something.
Why there’s no “from £80” on this page
Because a from-price is a number chosen to get you on the phone, not a number anyone intends to charge. You ring, it turns out your job isn’t the one job in a hundred that qualifies, and the real figure lands once someone is already stood on your drive.
We’d rather you got the actual number for your actual load, in writing, before anyone turns up — and that you were free to ignore it. The price we send is the price you pay, unless you add to the pile, in which case tell us and we’ll re-quote.
Skip or us
A skip is a box you fill yourself.
Sometimes a skip genuinely is the right answer — a long refurb, a job where waste appears over weeks. For a one-off clear-out, it’s usually the more expensive way to do your own lifting.
| What | A skip | Us |
|---|---|---|
| Who loads it | You do, over several evenings | We do, while you make a cup of tea |
| Permit | Needed if it stands on the road, from the council | Never — nothing is left anywhere |
| How long it’s there | Sat on your drive for the hire period | Gone the same visit |
| How full | Level with the rim, no higher | Loaded properly, stacked, strapped |
| Fridges & mattresses | Usually excluded or surcharged | Taken, and handled under the WEEE rules |
| Sorting | Whatever went in goes as mixed waste | Metal pulled out and recycled, rest sorted |
| Paperwork | A hire invoice | A waste transfer note with our carrier number on it |
One thing worth knowing either way: your duty of care follows the waste, not the container. Hiring a skip from an unregistered operator lands you in exactly the same place as handing it to a van — here’s how to check either of them.

FAQ
Straight answers
How much does it cost?
It depends on volume and what it is, so we price per job rather than quote a misleading from-price. Send a photo and you will get the actual number for your actual load, usually the same day.
Do I have to be in?
For most outdoor and garage jobs, no — as long as we can get to it and you have confirmed the price, we can collect while you are out.
What areas do you cover?
Wymondham and everywhere down the A11 and A47 — Norwich, Attleborough, Thetford, Diss, Long Stratton and across into Suffolk to Beccles and Bungay. If you are not sure, just ask.
Is it all done legally?
Yes. We are a registered waste carrier and licensed scrap dealer, every load comes with a waste transfer note, and our registration numbers are on every page of this site so you can check them.
Can you take fridges and freezers?
Yes. They cannot go in a normal skip because of the gas, but we are set up to take them and dispose of them properly under the WEEE rules.
How quickly can you come?
Often the same week, sometimes the same day if we are passing. Tell us where you are and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it cheaper than a skip?
For a one-off clear-out, usually — once you count the permit if it stands on the road, the hire period, and the fact that you load a skip yourself and cannot fill it above the rim. For a long refurb where waste appears over weeks, a skip may well be the better buy. We will say so if it is.
Is there anything you will not take?
Asbestos, LPG and propane cylinders, acetylene bottles, and drums of chemicals or oil. Those need a specialist with a different licence, and anyone who says otherwise is telling you what you want to hear. Discharged fire extinguishers are fine — that is an empty bottle, and we take those. Everything else, ask: the list of things we can take is far longer than the list we cannot.
Do I get anything back for scrap metal?
If there is real metal in the load, its value comes off your price rather than quietly into our pocket. For a car or a large amount of metal on its own, it can go the other way and we pay you. Note that paying cash for scrap is illegal in the UK, so it will be a bank transfer.
