JKRS House Clearance Cost Guide
Significant Factors Affecting the Cost of Property Clearances
Reason for Clearance
- Bereavement: Sensitivity and discretion are essential, with care taken over personal/sentimental items.
- Downsizing or Moving: May involve selective clearance rather than a full property.
- End of Tenancy / Eviction: Often time-sensitive and may require rapid clearance.
- Hoarding or Neglect: Can be more complex, requiring specialist handling.
Property Size & Contents
- Larger homes or properties with outbuildings/garages require more time, labour, and vehicles.
- Volume of furniture, appliances, and general household goods directly impacts costs and logistics.
Access & Location
- Ease of access (parking, staircases, lifts, narrow roads) can affect how quickly and efficiently items can be removed.
- Rural or city-centre locations may present different challenges (distance to recycling centres, congestion charges, etc.).
Type of Items
- Reusable items (furniture, appliances, clothing) may be donated or resold.
- Hazardous items (paints, chemicals, medical waste, asbestos) require special disposal.
- Personal documents & valuables need careful handling for security and respect.
Environmental Considerations
- Regulations around recycling and waste disposal must be followed.
- A reputable clearance company will aim to donate, recycle, or repurpose before considering landfill.
Timescale & Urgency
- Some clearances must be completed quickly (e.g., before a house sale, rental handover, or probate deadlines).
- Others can be spread over several visits if families need more time to sort belongings.
Cost & Budget
- Influenced by property size, number of items, level of labour required, and disposal/recycling fees.
- Companies may offer fixed quotes, hourly rates, or per-load pricing.
Legal & Regulatory Requirements
- Duty of Care: Ensuring waste is handled by licensed carriers and disposed of legally.
- Probate & Estate Management: Sometimes items must be documented or valued before clearance.
Emotional & Personal Factors
- Families may want time to sort through belongings.
- Compassionate, respectful handling is especially important in bereavement situations.
In short: the purpose of the clearance, property size, access, type of items, environmental responsibility, urgency, cost, legal requirements, and emotional considerations all play a role in shaping the process.

“Stress-Free and Professional”
I hired John and his team at JKRS Clearance to clear my late father’s house, and they were fantastic from start to finish. John was kind, patient, and very respectful throughout what was an emotional process. They worked quickly, left the house spotless, and even donated items to charity on our behalf. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service. Highly recommend!

“Affordable and Reliable”
We needed a full clearance before putting our property on the market, and JKRS Clearance was brilliant. John gave us a clear, upfront quote with no hidden costs, and the price was much more affordable compared to others. On the day, the team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept everything stress-free. A professional service that delivers exactly what they promise.
