House clearance Brighton
Local house clearance in Brighton & Hove
Complete or partial clearances of houses and flats, carried out carefully and respectfully, with everything recycled, reused or disposed of properly.
House and flat clearances in Brighton & Hove are a big part of our work. Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. We clear homes across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park and Seven Dials, from single rooms to entire properties, working with families, executors, landlords and agents.
Every clearance in Brighton & Hove is handled carefully and respectfully. We set aside anything that needs to be kept, recycle and reuse where we can, and leave the property swept and ready for the next stage, whether that is a sale, a new tenancy or a family move.
We used this company for the first time today, very responsive to messages and hard working guys. Cleared all rubbish we requested to be removed and we highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fast service, very reasonable price which saved us paying more for a skip! Will definitely be using them again.
A Star customer, Customer review
We clear whole properties or just the parts you need: a single room, the loft, the garage or everything except the items going to the new home. We work at your pace, set aside anything that needs to be kept or checked, and handle belongings respectfully. Families often tell us that the hardest part was picking up the phone, and that the clearance itself was far easier than they expected.

Local knowledge
House clearance in Brighton & Hove: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape house clearance jobs in Brighton & Hove.
Homes in Brighton
Much of central Brighton and Hove is made up of Regency and Victorian townhouses that have been converted into flats, often with four or five floors and no lift. Hanover and Elm Grove are packed with steep terraced streets, while Patcham, Withdean, Hangleton and Westdene are mainly inter-war and post-war semis and bungalows. Understanding the building is the key to pricing a Brighton clearance accurately.
Part of the community
Brighton is a busy, diverse city where people move often, whether for study, work or a change of scene. We help people clear flats before a move, make space in family homes, and empty properties quickly for landlords and agents.
Flats and apartments
Brighton is a city of flats: top-floor conversions with narrow staircases, basement flats down steep outside steps, and modern blocks with lifts and concierge rules. We bring enough people to carry heavy items safely, dismantle furniture where needed, and protect common parts.
Parking and access
Most of central Brighton and Hove is covered by controlled parking zones, and many streets are narrow, steep or one-way. We plan the loading point before we arrive, and in some cases we will ask you to arrange a visitor permit or parking suspension. It is one of the reasons we always want to see the route to the road when quoting.

Specialist house & flat clearance services in Brighton & Hove
As part of our house & flat clearance service in Brighton & Hove, we also provide:
House clearance
A house clearance means emptying a home of furniture, belongings and rubbish, either completely or leaving only what is staying. It is usually needed when a property is being sold, let, renovated or handed back, or when a family is dealing with a move into care or a bereavement.
Flat clearances are all about access. Stairs, small lifts, tight landings, communal hallways and parking restrictions all affect how long a job takes and how many people it needs. We plan for them in advance so the clearance runs smoothly and the building is left as we found it.
Garages are where things go to be forgotten. Old furniture, boxes from the last house move, bikes, tools, broken appliances, paint tins, garden equipment and car parts all end up piled to the roof until the car has not been inside for years.
Lofts are hard to clear yourself. The hatch is small, the ladder is steep, the space is often unboarded, and years of boxes, suitcases, Christmas decorations and old furniture have to be passed down one item at a time. We do it safely and quickly.
Clearing the home of someone who has died is one of the most difficult things a family has to do. There are memories in every drawer, decisions to make about every item, and often a sale or tenancy deadline adding pressure. We aim to take the physical work off your hands while treating the home and its contents with respect.
Clearing the home of someone who has died is one of the hardest jobs a family faces. We work with families and executors to do it sensitively. Before we start, we agree what should be kept, donated or checked, and we keep an eye out for paperwork, photographs and personal items as we go, setting them aside rather than loading them.
If the property is being sold, we can work around estate agents and solicitors, and clear it in time for viewings or completion. If you are dealing with the estate from a distance, we can arrange access with a key holder and send photos of the finished property.
Downsizing and moving into care
When someone moves from a family home into a smaller property or a care home, only a fraction of their belongings go with them. We can clear the rest before or after the move, working around removal firms and family members. We are patient and friendly, and we will never rush an older customer into decisions they are not ready to make.
Good-quality furniture and household items can often be reused. Where possible we set these aside for reuse rather than sending them for disposal.
How house clearance in Brighton & Hove works
Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. Here is how a typical house clearance job in Brighton & Hove works:
1
Send us photos
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
2
Get a clear price
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
4
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price of house clearance in Brighton & Hove
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Size of the property
The number of rooms and how full they are.
Contents
Furniture, electricals and sofas have different disposal costs.
Access
Flats with stairs and long carries take longer than a bungalow with a drive.
Outbuildings
Lofts, garages, sheds and gardens add to the volume.
Timescale
We will always try to meet your deadline.
How to prepare
Decide what is staying, going to family or being donated, and label it clearly.
Remove valuables, jewellery, cash, keys and important documents.
Check drawers, pockets, books and boxes for personal papers and photographs.
Let us know if the property has been sold or let and when it needs to be empty.
Tell us about access: stairs, lifts, parking and any building rules.
Arrange keys with a neighbour, agent or solicitor if you cannot be there.
Responsible disposal
Where your Brighton waste goes
House clearance waste is sorted into reusable items, recyclable materials and general waste. Reusable furniture and household items are set aside where possible, recyclable materials go to the appropriate facilities, and the rest is taken to licensed waste transfer stations. Upholstered seating is kept separate for specialist disposal.
Brighton & Hove City Council offers a chargeable bulky waste collection and runs household waste recycling sites at Hollingdean and Wilson Avenue. These are fine for the occasional item. For multiple items, mixed rubbish or anything that needs carrying down several flights of stairs, a single visit from us is usually quicker and better value.

Bit of a mix up with timings but once arrived the boys were quick, efficient and very thorough in their work. There was an awful lot of stuff in our garage that was not being used and we needed it clearing for selling our house.
