What moves the price

  • How full the garage is — garage clearance is priced by the share of a van load, from a quarter to a full van
  • Heavy and dense items — rubble, old engines, tyres and metal are weighed as well as measured
  • Restricted waste — paint, oil, gas bottles and fridges from the garage need specialist disposal
  • Access — a garage at the end of a block with no parking means a long carry to the van
  • Hourly or fixed price — some garage clearance teams charge by the hour per person rather than per load
  • London and the South East — clearance firms there charge more than in the North, Wales and Scotland

How to pay less

  • Sell tools and bikes from the garage first and take paint and oil to the council tip yourself
  • Break down boxes and bag small items so the garage contents pack tightly into less of the van
  • Ask for a fixed price per van load rather than an open hourly rate for a large garage

Before you book

  • Check the garage clearance firm's waste carrier registration and ask for a waste transfer note
  • Take out anything you want to keep and mark large items that are staying in the garage
  • Point out any asbestos sheeting or old chemicals, which a standard garage clearance cannot take
  • Check the clearance van can park close to the garage door on the day

Garage Clearance cost: questions people ask

£150–£450, with about £300 typical for a single garage. A half-full garage with easy access costs least; a packed double garage with heavy scrap costs most.

One to three hours for most single garages. A double garage or one full of heavy items can take half a day.

Good clearance firms sort metal, wood and electricals for recycling and pass usable items to charities, which keeps disposal costs down.

Usually, yes. Adding a loft or garden to the same visit is cheaper than booking two separate van trips.

Asbestos, large amounts of oil, chemicals and gas bottles need a specialist and are not part of a standard clearance.
