House & Property Clearance

Full House Clearance

A full house clearance removes the agreed contents of a home so you can prepare it for sale, letting or handover. iTrade serves Norfolk, sets aside belongings you want to keep and agrees the rooms, outbuildings, access and price in writing before starting.

Quick answer

Who it is for: Homeowners, families, landlords, executors and agents who need a whole property emptied and left clean.

What it covers: Furniture, appliances and general contents in the agreed rooms. Lofts, garages, sheds and gardens can be added after access and materials are assessed.

When a survey is needed: A short survey or a set of photographs is usually needed first, so the volume, access and any bulky or specialist items can be quoted accurately.

Start with the outcome you need: an empty home for an estate agent, a cleared rental property or space for follow-on work. Room count alone does not describe the job. A sparsely furnished three-bedroom house can involve less loading than a smaller home with packed cupboards and a full garage.

List belongings to keep before the assessment. Furniture going to relatives, personal papers and items awaiting valuation should stay outside the removal scope until you give clear instructions.

iTrade plans loading, sorting and handover around the assessed contents. The quotation should separate requested carpet removal, dismantling, deep cleaning or repairs, so you can compare like-for-like prices.

Scope

What is included, what needs checking, and what is not

Included as standard
  • Clearance of all rooms: furniture, white goods, soft furnishings and general contents
  • Loft, garage, shed and garden items where access allows
  • Setting aside any items you have asked to keep
  • Sorting for reuse, donation and recycling, with the rest taken for responsible disposal
  • A swept, tidy finish ready for the next stage
Conditional or quoted separately
  • Carpet and curtain removal, if you want them taken as part of the clearance
  • Sheds or outbuildings that need dismantling
  • Deep cleaning, repairs or garden work after the clearance, quoted separately
  • Properties with restricted access, upper floors or difficult parking
  • Large single-material loads such as rubble or scrap metal
Not included
  • Suspected asbestos requires a separate, competent assessment. Some asbestos work requires an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Chemicals, fuels, gas bottles, fireworks, and clinical or medical waste
  • Anything you have not authorised for removal

How the work runs

From first enquiry to handover

  1. Enquiry

    Tell iTrade the address, rough size and how full the property is, plus access and any deadline.

  2. Survey or photographs

    iTrade confirms volume, access and any bulky or specialist items from photographs or a short visit.

  3. Written quotation and scope

    You receive a written quote setting out what is included, any exclusions and the disposal route, before work begins.

  4. Clearance day

    The team clears the property room by room, sets aside anything to keep, and separates reusable and recyclable materials.

  5. Handover and records

    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.

What affects the price

Factors iTrade weighs when quoting
FactorWhat it means for your quote
Volume of contentsThe contents to be removed determine loading space and labour. Include cupboards, lofts and outbuildings in photographs rather than judging by bedroom count alone.
Access and parkingStairs, upper floors, narrow doorways and how far items must be carried to the vehicle all affect time and cost.
Material type and weightHeavy materials, appliances needing WEEE handling and items with separate disposal routes are priced differently from light general contents.
ExtrasCarpets, curtains, shed dismantling or garden items add to the scope when included.
Saleable itemsPotential resale value is assessed during the quotation. Any agreed purchase, credit or offset is itemised in writing before work begins; no value adjustment is assumed.

Responsible handling

What happens to your belongings and waste

The order iTrade works through, from keeping to disposal
StageWhat happens
KeepAnything you ask to retain is set aside and never treated as waste.
Reuse and donateSuitable 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.
RecycleMetal, wood, textiles, paper and electrical items are separated for recycling at permitted facilities.
Responsible disposalOnly what cannot be reused or recycled goes for controlled disposal at permitted sites, under waste duty-of-care rules.

Before you enquire

What to have ready for an accurate quote

  • 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. You should check that whoever takes the waste is a registered waste carrier, because if items are later fly-tipped and traced back to the property, you can be asked to show you used an authorised carrier.

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

Frequently asked

How quickly can a full clearance be done?

Duration depends on the volume, access, material type and any specialist work. Your written quotation will set out the expected timescale for the assessed job.

Do you take carpets and curtains?

Yes, if you want them removed as part of the clearance. Mention it when you enquire so it is included in the quote.

Can you clear the loft, garage and garden too?

Yes, where access allows. Tell iTrade about outbuildings and garden items so they are covered in the price.

What happens to items of value?

Anything you mark to keep is set aside for you, and any genuinely saleable items are pointed out before the final figure is agreed.

What can't you take away?

Suspected asbestos needs a separate, competent assessment, and some asbestos work requires an HSE-licensed contractor. Chemicals, fuels, gas bottles and clinical waste need an appropriate specialist route.
