Garages fill slowly and from the back. We clear the lot in one visit.

Things from the last house, and the boxes nobody has opened since.
Dead fridges and freezers
Sent for specialist recycling because of the gases inside.
Scrap, tools and racking
Metal goes to licensed recycling. We take down bolted shelving and workbenches.
DIY leftovers
Timber, old doors, carpet, tiles and the half-built kitchen units.
Bikes, prams and mowers
Usable ones set aside for reuse, the rest recycled.
Swept floor
Ready for a car, a buyer or a demolition crew.

To park in it again
Reclaim the space without a month of weekend tip runs.
Before a sale
Buyers want to see the garage. Often booked with the loft.
A parent's garage
Decades of tools and storage, sorted with care. Often part of a whole-house job.
Before it comes down
Rotten timber or a cracked sectional? We clear it, then take it down.

How we compare with the alternatives
The council and the tip both have a part to play. Neither empties a garage for you.

What we can't take
- Asbestos, including roof sheets
- Gas bottles

Both recycling centres take paint, oil, batteries and gas bottles from residents. Cement-sheet roof? We can usually clear the contents without touching it; see our hazardous waste guide.

FAQ
Garage clearance questions
Short answers. If yours is not here, call or send it with your quote.
How long does a garage clearance take?
It depends on how full it is and how heavy the contents are. We tell you how long it will take when we price it.
Do I need to sort it before you come?
No. We sort it as we load. Mark anything you want to keep, and point out anything you're unsure about.
Can you take the old paint tins?
No. Paint, solvents and chemicals go to the recycling centres at Lynnbottom or Afton Marsh, which take them from residents with a booked slot. We leave them to one side for you.
Do you take scrap metal?
Yes. Old tools, bikes, shelving and metal offcuts go to licensed metal recycling. Nobody should be paying cash for scrap, so be wary of anyone offering to.
My garage roof might be asbestos. Can you still clear it?
Usually, as long as the sheets are intact and we aren't disturbing them. Tell us when you book so we can look first. We don't remove the sheets themselves.
Can you take the garage down as well?
Yes, as a separate job. Our garage demolition service covers sectional and prefab garages, and we can clear the contents first in the same booking.
