Garage Clearance

At Big Ben, we provide reliable, fully compliant garage clearance services for homeowners, landlords, and property professionals across the UK. Whether your garage has become a long-term storage space, is full of bulky items, or needs clearing before a sale or renovation, our experienced teams remove everything efficiently and responsibly.

Garages often accumulate a mix of heavy, awkward, and forgotten items that are difficult to dispose of correctly. Our service removes the physical effort and legal uncertainty, ensuring waste is cleared safely, recycled wherever possible, and disposed of in line with UK regulations.

What Is Garage Clearance?

Garage clearance is the complete or partial removal of unwanted items, furniture, and waste from a domestic or commercial garage. This can include household rubbish, old tools, furniture, electrical items, and general clutter built up over time.

Our garage clearance service covers all aspects of the job—from lifting and loading to lawful disposal—leaving your garage clean, usable, and free of unwanted waste.

Who Our Garage Clearance Service Is For

Homeowners

Many homeowners use garages as storage spaces until they become unusable. We help reclaim that space quickly, whether you are decluttering, renovating, or preparing to move.

Landlords & Letting Agents

Garages attached to rental properties are often left full at the end of a tenancy. Our service helps landlords and agents prepare properties efficiently for re-letting or inspection.

Property Managers & Housing Providers

Managed estates and residential blocks benefit from our organised approach and ability to clear garages safely without disrupting surrounding areas.

Small Businesses & Trades

Garages used for storage or workshops can accumulate waste over time. We provide a practical solution for clearing space and maintaining compliance.

What We Remove From Garages

We collect most non-hazardous items commonly found in garages, including:

• General household rubbish and bagged waste
• Old furniture and shelving units
• White goods and small electrical items
• Tools, equipment, and scrap materials
• Cardboard, packaging, and plastics
• Bicycles, garden items, and stored belongings

Items Excluded From Standard Garage Clearance

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot remove hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals, fuels, oils, gas cylinders, or medical waste. If you are unsure about any item, we will advise clearly before work begins.

How Our Garage Clearance Service Works

1. Initial Enquiry – Contact us with details of the garage, access, and items to be cleared.
2. Clear Quotation – We provide transparent pricing based on volume, labour, and access.
3. Convenient Scheduling – A time is arranged to suit you, including short-notice options where available.
4. Professional Clearance – Our trained team removes all agreed items safely and efficiently.
5. Compliant Disposal – Waste is sorted, recycled where possible, and disposed of legally.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees

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

This clarity makes garage clearance a predictable and cost-effective option, even when large volumes of waste are involved.

Why Professional Garage Clearance Is Better Than DIY or Council Options

Clearing a garage yourself often involves heavy lifting, multiple trips to recycling centres, and uncertainty over what can be disposed of legally. Council bulky waste services are limited and rarely suitable for full garage clear-outs.

Choosing Big Ben means:

• Fast clearance without physical strain
• No need for vehicle hire or multiple trips
• Careful handling of heavy or awkward items
• Full legal compliance and peace of mind

Legal Compliance & Duty of Care

We are a licensed waste carrier and operate in full accordance with UK waste legislation. All garage clearances meet Duty of Care requirements, ensuring waste is transferred, transported, and disposed of lawfully.

Using unlicensed operators can result in fines and legal action. Our compliant processes protect homeowners, landlords, and businesses from unnecessary risk.

Recycling-First & Landfill Reduction

We prioritise recycling and reuse wherever possible during garage clearances. Materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, plastics, and electrical items are separated and sent to authorised recycling facilities.

This recycling-first approach reduces landfill use while supporting responsible waste management.

Experience, Training & Professional Standards

Our teams have extensive experience clearing garages of all sizes and conditions. All staff are fully trained, insured, and equipped to work safely and efficiently.

We operate with professionalism at all times, respecting properties and leaving garages clean and ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does garage clearance cost?

The cost depends on the volume and type of items, access conditions, and labour required. We provide clear, upfront pricing before work begins, with no hidden fees. This allows you to budget confidently and decide without pressure.

Do you offer same-day garage clearance?

Same-day or next-day garage clearances are often available, subject to location and availability. This is ideal for urgent clear-outs or last-minute property preparations.

Is garage clearance legally compliant?

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

What happens to the waste after clearance?

Waste is sorted to maximise recycling and reuse. Recyclable materials are diverted from landfill wherever possible, with remaining waste processed responsibly at licensed disposal sites.

How does garage clearance differ from skip hire or council collections?

Skips require permits, space, and manual loading, while council services are limited. Our service includes labour, flexible scheduling, and full compliance, making it the most convenient option for garage clear-outs.
