Why choose Whitby House Clearance?

A local service that knows the town

Whitby is not an easy town to clear. Cottages sit up narrow yards off Church Street, the old town has steep banks and very little parking, and many homes on the coast and the moors are a long way from the nearest road. We plan every job around that, so there are no surprises on the day.

When you call, you talk to the people who will do the work. We treat your home and belongings with the same care we would want for our own.

How our clearances work

Fair and transparent pricing

The price we quote is the price you pay

Every clearance is different, so we price each job individually once we have seen photos or visited. There are no surprises at the end, and items that can be reused or resold can help bring the cost down.

What affects the price

How much there is to clear, from a few items to a full property
Access: steps, narrow yards, upstairs flats, lofts and parking

Recycling and responsible disposal

Where your things go

Clearing a home should not mean filling a landfill site. Only what cannot be reused or recycled is sent for disposal, and it goes through the proper channels with the right paperwork.

Reuse and donate

Usable furniture and household goods are passed on for reuse, donation or resale wherever possible.

Recycle

Metal, wood, textiles, paper and electricals go to authorised recycling facilities.

Dispose legally

Only what cannot be reused or recycled is disposed of, with waste transfer notes kept for every job.

How we recycle and dispose of things

Bereavement and probate house clearance

Clearing a loved one's home? We will go gently.

There is no rush and no pressure. We work at your pace, set aside photographs, letters, documents and keepsakes, and can work with executors, solicitors and family members who live far away.

Questions

House clearance questions, answered

How do I get a quote for a house clearance?

The quickest way is to send photos through our online quote form, along with the address and a note about stairs, steps and parking. We look at everything and reply with a free, fixed, no-obligation quote. If photos aren't practical, or the property is large or very full, we can arrange to visit instead. There is no call-out fee for a quote.

What do you clear?

We clear whole houses and flats, as well as lofts, garages, sheds, gardens and business premises. We also remove single items such as a sofa, a bed or an old fridge, and we carry out careful bereavement, probate and hoarding clearances. If you are not sure whether we can help with something, send us a photo and ask.

Can you clear a house after someone has died?

Yes, and we understand how hard this can be. We work carefully and respectfully, at a pace that suits the family, and we set aside photographs, papers and personal items for you to go through. If you live away or would rather not be there, we can work with a keyholder or solicitor and keep you updated throughout.

What happens to the things you take away?

Reuse comes first. Furniture and household items in good condition go for reuse or donation where possible. Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are separated for recycling, garden waste goes for composting, and only what cannot be saved goes for disposal through authorised sites. You receive paperwork for disposal so you know where your waste went.

Do you clear rental properties at the end of a tenancy?

Yes. We clear furniture, belongings and rubbish left behind by tenants, and we sweep up afterwards so the property is ready for cleaning, repairs or new tenants. We can work directly with landlords or letting agents, collect keys and provide a waste transfer note for your records. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Whitby and cover everywhere within about 25 miles. That includes the Esk Valley villages, the North York Moors and the coast from Saltburn and Staithes down through Robin Hood's Bay and Ravenscar to Scarborough, with inland work as far as Pickering and Guisborough. If you are just outside that area, ask us anyway.
