House & Property Clearance
A partial house clearance removes only the rooms, areas or items you choose and leaves the rest of the home untouched. It suits downsizing, clearing a single room, or removing one person's belongings while others still live in the property.
Who it is for: Anyone who needs some, but not all, of a property cleared: a room, a floor, or specific items.
What it covers: The agreed rooms or items only, sorted and removed, with everything else left in place.
When a survey is needed: Photographs are often enough for a smaller partial clearance; a survey helps where the line between what stays and what goes needs to be clear.
A partial clearance is about precision: taking exactly what has been agreed and nothing else. It is common when downsizing, clearing one person's belongings, or emptying a single space such as a garage, spare room or loft.
Marking clearly what stays and what goes is the key step, so iTrade confirms that boundary in writing before the day.
Scope
How the work runs
Tell iTrade which rooms or items you want cleared, and what must stay.
From photographs or a short visit, iTrade confirms exactly what is in and out of scope.
You receive a clear quote for the agreed scope before work begins.
The team removes only the agreed items, working carefully around what stays.
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 the agreed items | How much is being removed within the agreed scope. |
| Access and parking | Floor level, stairs and carry distance to the vehicle. |
| Material type and weight | Heavy or specialist items are priced differently from light general contents. |
| Single heavy items | Individual bulky items, such as a piano or large appliance, may need extra labour. |
Responsible handling
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep | Anything you ask to retain is left in place or 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.
