In London, garage clearance usually costs between £70 and £450. The final price depends on the amount of waste and which items need to be removed.
With Chums Clearance, pricing is transparent and fair. You only pay for what you want cleared, nothing extra. Below is a simple guide to how garage clearance costs are worked out and what to expect when booking a service in London and Surrey.
1. Estimated Cost Breakdown
While every job is unique, London market rates (which Chums Clearance remains competitive with) generally follow these brackets:
- Small Clearance (Single items or a few boxes): £70 – £120
- Medium Clearance (approx. half a van load / 500kg): £150 – £280
- Large Clearance (Full van load / 1,000kg+): £300 – £450+
- Hazardous Materials (Paints, chemicals, etc.): These may incur additional specialised handling fees.
2. Factors That Influence Your Quote
Chums Clearance emphasises that the “real cost” isn’t just a flat fee; it is determined by:
- Volume & Weight: The primary factor is how much space your items take up in the truck.
- Accessibility: If your garage is tucked away, has limited parking, or requires a “long carry” to the van, this can affect labour time.
- Disposal Fees: Licensed waste carriers like Chums must pay fees at approved recycling centres. Beware of “too good to be true” quotes, as they often indicate illegal fly-tipping, which can lead to fines for the homeowner.
- Special Items: White goods (fridges/freezers), mattresses, and tyres often have fixed supplementary disposal charges due to environmental regulations.
3. Why Choose Chums Clearance?
