Because of their location, your basement can be challenging to access and even more challenging to clear out. However, they can quickly turn into a place where you store items that you intend to dispose of later.

Clearing the basement of a house or apartment building is much more difficult than clearing other rooms due to narrow stairs, poor lighting, and damp conditions. We have a team of expert staff who can complete the task for you quickly, safely, and efficiently without requiring extreme measures to remove items.

Many people view the task of clearing out the basement with apprehension. After all, it's easy for a storage space to become a dumping ground for unwanted items and clutter, and the gradual accumulation eventually produces enough waste to fill multiple skips.

Here's how our services can benefit you.

We Add Value to Your Property

It's usually a good idea to increase your home's usable floor space to increase its value. The ideal place to do this is often a basement. Converting your basement is an excellent option whether you want to create a beautiful family room or a private retreat.

Safety of Your Home

Anything could be stored down there. Items might even be hazardous to your family's safety and your own. Our experts have extensive experience in clearing these spaces quickly, effectively, and affordably.

Trained Staff

Basement Clearance FAQ

Basement clearance costs depend on volume, access difficulties, and item types. Typical London basement clearances range from £300-1200, with pricing based on van loads required. Narrow stairs, poor lighting, and heavy items may incur additional charges. We provide free quotes after assessing your basement's specific challenges and contents.

We remove furniture, appliances, boxes, clothing, books, sporting equipment, old electronics, garden tools, building materials, and general household clutter from basements. Hazardous items like asbestos, chemicals, or gas cylinders require specialist handling. Our experienced team safely navigates narrow basement stairs whilst protecting your property from damage during removal.

Our trained team specialises in challenging basement access situations common in London properties including narrow Victorian staircases, low ceilings, and limited lighting. We use protective sheeting, proper lifting techniques, and specialised equipment to navigate tight spaces safely. Pre-clearance site assessments ensure we're prepared for any access challenges.

Our team uses proper lifting equipment and techniques to prevent injury and property damage. Disconnection of utilities may be required before removal, and we can coordinate with qualified tradespeople if necessary for complex installations.

No pre-sorting is required - we handle complete basement clearances including sorting items for recycling, donation, and disposal. Simply remove any valuable items you wish to keep. Our team efficiently sorts through everything on-site, maximising recycling whilst ensuring valuable items aren't accidentally removed during the clearance process.

Most basement clearances take 2-6 hours depending on volume and access difficulties. Small basement clearances may complete within 2 hours whilst large, heavily cluttered basements require a full day. Challenging access conditions or heavy items may extend clearance times. We provide realistic time estimates during our initial assessment.

We achieve 95% waste diversion from landfill through comprehensive recycling and donation programmes. Usable furniture goes to charities, electronics follow WEEE regulations, metals are recycled, and materials are processed at specialist facilities. Only 5% reaches landfill as a last resort.

Items affected by significant mould contamination require careful disposal to prevent health risks. We can work in challenging basement environments whilst maintaining safety standards.

Same-day basement clearance is available subject to team availability and project complexity. Emergency clearances for urgent situations like flooding or property sales can often be accommodated. However, complex basement clearances typically benefit from advance booking allowing proper preparation and equipment allocation for challenging access conditions.

Professional basement clearance significantly enhances property value by creating usable space for conversion opportunities. Clean, clear basements can become additional living space, storage, or utility areas attractive to buyers. Proper clearance also eliminates pest harbourage and improves air quality throughout the property, making homes more appealing in London's competitive market.
