The short answer
What is house clearance?
A house clearance is the removal of furniture, belongings and rubbish from part or all of a property, so it can be sold, let, renovated or lived in again.
Able Rubbish and Gardening Services clears houses, flats and apartments across Basildon, south Essex and east London. We can clear a single room, a loft or garage, or a whole property in one go — and we’ll agree exactly what stays and what goes before we start.

All FAQsHow much does a house clearance cost?
House clearance prices depend on the size of the property, how full it is, how many floors are involved and whether there are items that need specialist disposal. We give a free quote first, and photos or a quick walkthrough help us price accurately.
How long does a house clearance take?
A room or garage is usually cleared within a few hours. A full house depends on how much there is and the access — we’ll give you an idea of timing when we quote.
Do I need to be there during the clearance?
It helps to be there at the start, so we can confirm what stays and what goes. After that, many customers leave us to it — just arrange access with us beforehand.
Can you clear a flat on an upper floor?
Yes. Let us know the floor, whether there’s a lift and any parking restrictions when you ask for a quote, so we can plan the job properly.
Can you clear just part of a property?
Yes. Partial clearances are common — a single bedroom, the loft, the garage or just the bulky furniture.
