How Much Does House Clearance Cost in Manchester?
A straight answer, using our real prices. House clearance is priced by how much space your things take up in the van, so here is what different homes typically cost and what can change the price.
Most house clearance companies in Manchester won't put a price on their website. We do. Our prices start at £99.99 and go up in clear steps depending on volume, measured in cubic yards (yd³). Loading, transport and responsible disposal at a licensed site are all included, and there is no VAT to add.
Typical house clearance prices
These are our standard load prices with a guide to the kind of job each one usually covers:
| Typical job | Volume | Price |
|---|---|---|
| A few bags, a chair or a single small item | up to 1 yd³ | £99.99 |
| A sofa, or a cupboard or shed clear-out | up to 2 yd³ | £129.99 |
| One furnished bedroom or a small flat's leftovers | up to 4 yd³ | £179.99 |
| A full room, a packed garage or a garden clear-up | up to 6 yd³ | £229.99 |
| A one-bedroom flat clearance | up to 8 yd³ | £279.99 |
| A two-bedroom house or flat | up to 10 yd³ | £329.99 |
| A three-bedroom house | up to 14 yd³ | £429.99 |
| A large or very full house, including loft and garage | up to 20 yd³ | £559.99 |
| A complete Luton van load | up to 26 yd³ | £599.99 |
Property sizes are a guide only. A sparsely furnished three-bed may fit in a smaller load, while a packed two-bed with a full loft may need more. Photos let us quote accurately.
What can change the price
- Items that need special disposal. Fridges and mattresses have to be handled separately, so they carry a small extra charge each: standard fridge £45, fridge freezer £45, american fridge freezer £80, commercial fridge or freezer £120.
- Stairs and access. Upstairs flats with no lift, a long walk from the door to the van, or tricky parking can add a little to the job.
- Heavy materials. Rubble, soil and concrete are priced by quote because of their weight.
Whatever applies, we tell you before the job. Nothing is added on the day.
How to keep the cost down
- Sell or donate anything in good condition before we arrive.
- Take small recyclables to your local tip if you have a car.
- Gather items near the front door if you can — it shortens loading time.
- Send clear photos of every room so your quote matches the job.
House clearance vs a skip
A skip may look cheaper, but you load it yourself, you may need a council permit if it sits on the road, and you pay for the whole skip whether you fill it or not. Read our full rubbish removal vs skip hire guide.
