House Clearances in Cheshire and Across The North West 

When it comes to clearing a property—whether after a bereavement, a move, or preparing a home for sale or rental—it’s important to understand what a house clearance entails and how much it might cost. At Zebra Removals, we’ve been providing professional, reliable house clearance services across Cheshire and the North West  for years. Below, we break down the average house clearance costs, the factors that influence them, and what you can expect when you choose us.

What Is a House Clearance?

A house clearance involves removing unwanted furniture, appliances, personal belongings, and waste from a property. This can range from a single room to a full house, including garages, lofts, and gardens. Clients often require this service during difficult or transitional times, such as after the passing of a loved one, downsizing, or dealing with a hoarded home.

Zebra Removals provides a complete house clearance service that includes responsible disposal, recycling, and where possible, donation of reusable items to local charities.

Typical House Clearance Costs in Cheshire

The cost of a house clearance can vary significantly depending on the size of the property, the volume of items, and access to the premises. Here’s a general guide to what you can expect:

These prices are based on average loads and include labour, transportation, and disposal fees. For larger or more cluttered properties, or where hazardous waste is involved, the cost may be higher. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote after viewing the property.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a House Clearance?

Several key factors determine the cost of clearing a property:

1. Size and Volume of Items
Larger homes naturally contain more furniture and items, which means more labour, transport, and disposal. A cluttered home or a hoarding situation may require multiple vehicle loads and additional staff.

2. Type of Items Removed
Bulky or heavy items such as pianos, safes, and large appliances can increase costs due to additional labour or disposal requirements. Items that require specialist disposal, such as fridges, TVs, or chemicals, carry extra charges as do things like sofas and mattresses. 

3. Access to the Property
Properties with difficult access (such as narrow staircases, lack of parking, or upper-floor flats without lifts) may require more time and effort, impacting the final cost.

4. Recycling and Disposal Fees
Zebra Removals disposes of waste responsibly using a network of trusted trade recycling centres, these charges are included in our quote as are any surcharges. 

5. Time Required
After over twenty years in the business we’re pretty good at estimating how long a clearance will take. Occasionally, die to unforeseen circumstances such as weather or parking issues it can take a little longer but that won’t affect your price.

We’ve used Zebra twice now. A few months ago we used them to clear my late father’s house. Jonathan and his team couldn’t have made it any easier. Prices and tasks were agreed and communicated clearly before the clearance. Once the job was completed we also got photos showing the freshly cleared property.
That went so well that when we recently needed some bulky furniture to be moved and disposed of we used them again with exactly the same quality experience

We found zebra removals an excellent service from the initial survey of our property to be cleared to the completion of the clearance, the property was left clean and tidy in side and out and they can be trusted to get on with the work. Top marks to this company.
