Professional Clearance Services

Whilst, unfortunately, many people will think that anyone can start a rubbish removal service there is a difference between a company providing a professional house clearing service and a man with a van purporting to do the same. It is important that anyone operating a house clearance business has a waste carriers license and that they have a track record of managing deceased estates and have appropriate connections with charity shops and auction houses.

To give examples of the different types of services our experienced teams have carried out over the years Some of our domestic clearance services will include areas such as:

Garage clearance:

Our garage waste removal service will include many of the usual items found in a house but often it will be used for hiding garden waste and garden rubbish too which can include excess building materials left over from a DIY project

Flat clearance:

Yes, our flat clearance team have covered a few flights over the years, including removing unwanted furniture and bulky items such as washing machines:

Attic clearance:

We have crawled up many a dark loft to clear out everything to then discover a number of saleable items and even some highly valuable items on occasion.

Landlord clearance services:

This can include a wide range or removal and dismantling activities such as kitchen units and other storage units calling in for some heavy lifting.


Even though we are house clearance experts we can provide an affordable house clearance service which equals happy customers! Be sure to get in touch for a  free, no-obligation quote.

Rubbish Removal

Our rubbish removal services whether this is clearance from a house, garden or commercial property will cater for all most all of your rubbish removal requirements. Our professional clearance team will take a look at the amount and type of waste and how quickly you'd like this done. Our skilled teams understand the different types of waste and what can and can't be done with certain rubbish and materials. Of course, for more complex rubbish removal where the items to be disposed of have not been grouped together, or bagged up, we can also provide a site visit. This approach may need to be taken if you are not fully aware of what items there are, which need to be removed, such as a bereavement clearance or landlord property clearance. This is a little more common with commercial rubbish removal where some items may be hazardous but have not been clearly marked. When a site visit is required we will aim to meet with you as soon as possible to provide a fixed quote for your rubbish removal.

Waste Clearance Service

To speed up the process of quotations we deploy a quick remote process where you can simply send through images of the waste items you want clearing out. This way we can see the amount of waste, type of waste and what will be involved in removing it and subsequently provide you with a quote. This saves time for all involved, not waiting around for a site visit and we both have a record of what rubbish needs to be removed and as a result, you can quickly decide to get your rubbish removed upon confirmation of our costs. A rapid service for waste clearance in Cardiff - much quicker and less hassle than trying to organise a skip!

Bulky Waste Collection

Bulky waste collection can be broad by definition and can therefore encompass a number of items or even a single item. Often many people will take a bulky item that requires at least two people to move the item around. However, as clearly individual strength and abilities to move items will vary, this isn't really a way to define bulky waste as in some instances the same items moved by two people can be a bit of a struggle for one person but it can still be moved. The weight of an item doesn't really come into the definition either although clearly a small heavy item may well require more than one person to move it.

Our bulky waste services can operate both on a full collection basis where you may not be in a position to even move the item from its current location to outside the front of your house for kerbside collection. In these circumstances, we will typically send a couple of our team to assist in taking the item from your room and loading it straight onto our van. Where you are able to move the items out of your house you can leave them at the front of your house for us to collect this makes things easy for both parties as it provides a more flexible collection time for us and there's no reason for you to wait in.

Garden Clearance

Our garden clearance service is becoming increasingly popular across Cardiff. There are many occasions when larger outdoor items cannot simply be incinerated or broken down and put into your local councils green waste bins, which will typically be collected on a fortnightly basis, which just won't help you clear out that garden rubbish quickly enough.

We also find that when you call us for this service it also provides an opportunity for most households to see what other items they can remove from their property at the same time - so often a garden clearance will merge into a house clearance too. This is no problem for us. Ideally the fuller the van is for each trip, the more cost-effective the waste collection will be.

Hoarded House Clearance Cardiff

A much used house clearance exercise is the decluttering of a hoarded house. This particular service is one of the most bespoke services we provide since it can be quite a sensitive and potentially contentious exercise for all the parties involved. For the owners of a hoarded house a major first step is the decision to employ the services of a house clearance company to take away a large amount of the stored and hoarded items. Whilst the physical process of removing items from property can be fairly straightforward, the metal decisions surrounding what items are to be removed and which are to stay can be quite a challenge. This can become an even bigger issue as different members of a household may have different views on what should stay and what should go.

Bereavement Clearance

SD Cardiff House Clearance can provide a complete or partial house clearance and rubbish removal service at properties following a bereavement. We know that when this particular house clearance service is required that we may be dealing with either companies, individuals and often individuals who are closely linked to the deceased party. Particularly when dealing with the latter we appreciate that some of these sorts of conversations can be a little difficult and our professional team are mindful, sensitive and respectful when carrying out this service. This starts from the initial discussions to understand what your bereavement clearance requirements are, through to the actual process of clearing out the property of furniture, removing electrical items and wide range of household items . We realise that sometimes a family member will be at the property to make some final decisions and identify the items such as personal effects that have been be gifted in the will, which should not be removed and which items could go to charity or auction. We offer a quality bereavement service so that all parties are happy with the handling of items and where they are taken, which may sometimes be to a predesignated temporary storage location to give you total peace of mind.

Office Clearance

As well as our residential domestic house clearance services we provide a professional commercial clearance service. Whether this is an office clearance services or for a warehouse or factory clearance - in fact we cover any commercial property clearances.

We appreciate that there are typically a few different scenarios when carrying out a commercial office clearance. Some may simply be that following, or prior to, an office staff restructuring or an office revamp/rebranding exercise you will want to get rid of the surplus furniture, filing and other items which do not fit or will simply clutter your planned redesign. In these scenarios, we appreciate that often this work will need to be carried out whilst some members of staff will be trying to keep the business running as usual - so our teams will always aim to be as quiet and discreet as possible to minimise the amount of disturbance our clearance activities will make. We will work with your facilities or office manager to agree on the rubbish removal workflow and follow appropriate directions regarding how you would like your waste disposed of. A decluttered office environment has been shown to improve the efficiencies and performance of staff. It will help improve airflow through the building, which along with the odd plant will help improve air quality in the office.

Frequently Asked House Clearance Cardiff Questions

  • What will SD Cardiff House Clearance take?

    In short, SD Cardiff House Clearance  will be able to take everything to take virtually everything from a house. We have a network of contacts in local charities and the knowledge to responsibly dispose of, recycle or sell any unwanted items from a property. The only exception to this would be if hazardous items have been identified in the property. Then depending on what the hazard is a specialist company may need to deal with the hazardous items. Some house clearance companies will have staff trained to deal with certain potential contaminants or hazardous items and have the processes, procedures and equipment to deal with the issue properly. Examples may be sharps such as drug needles or certain corrosive chemicals which may have been used illegally in a home or legally in a commercial or factory environment.

  • How much does using SD Cardiff House Clearance cost?

    This will depend on a number of factors. Obviously, a major factor is the total amount of items that need to be cleared and what those items are. Will one or two-man teams need to be used, does special equipment need to be used to move items out or even dismantle them first? Will the size and shape of the items require more trips to be taken to remove all the items? Another key factor determining costs will depend on what the owners of the items may want to happen to the items. Segregating waste will take additional time and resources. So, if some items are to be disposed of, whilst others are to be recycled and others are to be sent to a charitable organisation or auction house, these different waste streams with different handling processes will add to the overall cost although some of these costs could be recouped if for example a good sale price can be achieved for items sent to auction. 


    To save time and factoring in additional costs to visit the property many house clearance companies such as ourselves will ask for photos of the items to be cleared, whether this is rubbish already bagged, garden waste or a hoarded house so that an assessment can be made and a price given.


    Unfortunately, the industry has been hit by people and organisations ‘adding’ items for disposal, after the initial site visit and subsequent quotation. As a result most house clearance companies, including ourselves, will ask for photographs of the waste to be cleared, from which a quote will be given.  This photographic evidence acts as a way to avoid any potential disputes on quotations and costs for both parties. 

  • Who pays for a bereavement clearance?

    Depending on the bereavement and the next of kin situation along with the status of the will and progress of probate proceedings will determine who initially pays for the services of a house clearance. Typically we would insist that the person or company instructing the house clearance will be the ones who reconcile the invoice. So, sometimes this will be the spouse where the property was already in both names. The house automatically assigned to a spouse and if they decide to move out of the property and not move a large number of their joint or deceased partner’s items with them, then that will be their decision and for them to pay for the house clearance. Where a will has a person or legal firm as an executor and probate is required then the person carrying out the probate will pay the initial invoice but will be able to claim this expense back once the estate has been sold and the asset realised. 

  • Why choose house clearance over a skip?

    There are probably two main advantages a house clearance company has over a skip company. Firstly for houses that have limited front space where a skip could be placed this will mean applying for a skip permit, sometimes known as a skip license if the skip is to be located on a public road from your local council. Without a permit you would be breaking the law and running the risk of being fined, most reputable skip companies themselves would also be reluctant to leave one of their skips on a public road without a permit. A number of skip companies will sort this out on your behalf but some councils will want the homeowner to pay the council directly. Cost for these permits ran across the country with some councils charging just over £20 whilst others, often London districts will be nearer £70. Cardiff Council charges:


    £38.87 – Per skip for a 7 day licence

    £77.74 – Per skip for a 28 day licence

    As well as the cost you will have to wait a few days for the council to issue the permit – sometimes longer depending on the efficiency of the council in processing these requests. None of this is required for a rubbish removal service from a house clearance company. As a result, a house clearance with a professional team using a van for rubbish removal will cost less overall and mean that your rubbish can be removed very quickly at short notice.


    The other advantage house clearance has over a skip, is that a rubbish removal company can segregate the waste whilst loading it up. Therefore much more of the waste can be recycled which is a much more responsible way of disposing of your rubbish.

  • Where does SD Cardiff House Clearance take items collected?

    Items from a house clearance typically end up in one, or several of the following places:


    - Recycling centres/specialist recycling locations such as scrap yards

    - Auction houses

    - Charities


    Typically when the above has been exhausted we will then use rubbish tips

    SD Cardiff House Clearance local teams have appropriate local contacts in each one of these areas to ensure waste items are managed responsibly.
