End of Tenancy Clearance

At Big Ben, we deliver professional end of tenancy clearance services designed to help landlords, letting agents, and tenants restore properties quickly and responsibly. Whether a property has been lightly lived in or left with significant waste behind, our experienced teams clear it efficiently, legally, and with minimal disruption.

End-of-tenancy situations are often time-sensitive. Missed handovers, abandoned belongings, or bulky waste can delay re-letting and create compliance risks. Our service removes that pressure by handling everything from labour to lawful disposal—so properties are ready for their next stage without delay.

What Is End of Tenancy Clearance?

End of tenancy clearance is the removal of unwanted items, furniture, and waste left behind when a tenant vacates a property. This can range from a few bulky items to full clear-outs of flats, houses, and HMOs.

Our end of tenancy clearance service includes lifting, loading, transport, and compliant disposal, ensuring properties are left clear, safe, and ready for cleaning, inspection, or refurbishment.

Who Our End of Tenancy Clearance Service Is For

Landlords & Letting Agents

We support private landlords, portfolio owners, and agents with fast, reliable clearances that reduce void periods and help meet inspection deadlines.

Tenants

Tenants moving out may need help disposing of furniture or accumulated waste to meet tenancy agreement requirements and avoid deductions.

Property Managers & Housing Providers

Managed blocks, student housing, and supported accommodation often require coordinated clearances carried out to professional standards.

Probate & Executors

Where a tenancy ends following bereavement, we provide a respectful, efficient service that handles belongings responsibly.

What We Remove During a Tenancy Clearance

We collect most non-hazardous items commonly left behind at the end of a tenancy, including:

• Furniture such as beds, sofas, wardrobes, and tables
• White goods and electrical appliances
• General household rubbish and bagged waste
• Carpets, underlay, and flooring
• Garden waste and outdoor furniture
• Packaging, cardboard, and mixed materials

Items We Cannot Remove

For legal and safety reasons, we cannot remove hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals, fuels, gas cylinders, or clinical waste. If specialist disposal is required, we will advise clearly before work begins.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees

Our pricing is straightforward and based on the amount of waste, type of items, and labour required. There are no call-out charges, no permit fees, and no surprise extras once the job is agreed.

This transparency helps landlords and agents budget accurately and avoid last-minute costs during property turnarounds.

Why Professional Clearance Is Better Than DIY or Council Services

Recycling-First & Landfill Reduction

We prioritise recycling and reuse wherever possible during tenancy clearances. Furniture, metals, wood, and electrical items are separated and processed responsibly.

This recycling-first approach reduces landfill use and supports environmental responsibility without compromising speed or compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy clearance cost?

Costs depend on the volume and type of items, access, and labour required. We provide clear, upfront pricing before work begins, with no hidden fees. This allows landlords, agents, and tenants to budget confidently during property handovers.

Can you provide same-day end of tenancy clearance?

Same-day or next-day clearances are often available, subject to location and availability. This is particularly useful for last-minute inspections, unexpected delays, or urgent re-letting requirements.

Is end of tenancy clearance legally compliant?

Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and fully comply with UK Duty of Care regulations. All waste is handled and disposed of through authorised facilities, protecting property owners from legal risk.

What happens to items after clearance?

Items are sorted to maximise recycling and reuse. Recyclable materials are diverted from landfill wherever possible, with residual waste disposed of responsibly at licensed sites.

How does this differ from skips or council collections?

Skips and council services are often slow, restrictive, and do not include labour. Our service is faster, includes lifting and loading, requires no permits, and ensures full compliance—making it ideal for tenancy deadlines.
