House & Property Clearance
A cluttered property clearance sorts and removes long-term build-up from a home that has simply become too full, without the safety complexity of a hoarded property. iTrade separates what to keep, reuse, recycle and dispose of, room by room.
Who it is for: Owners, families, landlords and agents dealing with a very full but sound and accessible property.
What it covers: Room-by-room sorting and removal of accumulated contents, with items to keep set aside and the rest sorted responsibly.
When a survey is needed: Photographs are often enough; a survey helps where volume or access is uncertain, or where a lot needs sorting rather than simply removing.
Clutter builds up slowly and can be hard to tackle alone. This service is for properties that are very full but do not have the safety, pest or contamination issues of a hoarded home.
The work is as much about sorting as removing: separating what to keep, what can be reused or recycled, and what is genuinely waste.
Scope
How the work runs
Tell iTrade the rough size, how full the property is, and which areas to prioritise.
iTrade confirms volume, how much sorting is involved and any access limits.
You receive a quote and a sorting plan, including whether one visit or several is best.
The team sorts and removes, setting aside anything to keep and separating reusable and recyclable items.
The completed area is checked against the agreed scope. Before booking, confirm which waste transfer record applies to the job, who will issue it and who must retain it.
Your quote
| Factor | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|
| Volume of contents | How much there is to remove across the property. |
| Sorting versus removing | Jobs that need careful sorting take longer than a straight removal. |
| Access and parking | Floor level, stairs and carry distance to the vehicle. |
| Staged visits | Spreading the work across visits can affect scheduling and cost. |
Responsible handling
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep | Anything you ask to retain is set aside for you. |
| Reuse and donate | Suitable items are kept separate for reuse when an appropriate receiving route is available. Acceptance depends on condition, safety and the receiving organisation’s current criteria. |
| Recycle | Recyclable materials are separated at permitted facilities. |
| Responsible disposal | Only genuine waste goes for controlled disposal under duty-of-care rules. |
Before you enquire
The more of this you can share, the faster iTrade can give a realistic figure:
Reassurance and compliance
When you pay someone to remove household waste, you have a household duty of care under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Check that whoever takes the waste is a registered waste carrier, because dumped waste traced back to you can leave you liable.
iTrade Recycling Ltd is registered with the Environment Agency as an Upper Tier carrier, broker and dealer under CBDU521652. The public record was checked on 10 August 2026 and expires on 9 February 2027; customers should follow the official register link and check it again before hiring.

Common questions
A cluttered property is very full but structurally sound and accessible, without the safety, pest or contamination issues that a hoarded property can have. Those cases are handled under the hoarded property service.
Yes. Where it is easier, the work can be spread across more than one visit, agreed in the plan.
Yes. Much of this work is sorting: keeping, reusing, recycling and disposing, rather than tipping everything.
Anything you mark to keep is set aside, and genuinely saleable items are pointed out before the figure is agreed.
