Factors affecting the cost of a house clearance
Costs can vary depending on several factors. Consider the size of the home, the amount of contents to be removed and any additional services such as cleaning or trash removal.
- The size of the home – The size of the home often plays a role in the cost. This is because a larger home often means more contents, but also, for example, more cleaning (if necessary).
- Quantity and type of contents – The amount of contents and type of items (e.g., heavy furniture) can also affect the cost. Special or heavy items may require extra effort or personnel to be removed safely.
- Disposal of waste – The cost of disposing of waste can vary. Some items may require special disposal, which can increase the cost.
- Additional services – Sometimes additional services are needed such as cleaning the home and making minor repairs. This affects the total cost.

- Pre-sorting – By already sorting the contents yourself, the evacuees can often work more quickly and efficiently. By deciding in advance what should be kept, donated or discarded, you can reduce the amount of work for the eviction team.
- Remove small items yourself – Small, easily moved items can be removed by yourself if necessary, this can shorten the time required by the evacuation team.
- Sell or donate: Consider selling or donating furniture or other items. Not only does this reduce the amount of household contents to be removed, but it can also offset some of the costs (consider the Salvation Army, for example; we often work with them as well).
- Recycling and waste disposal – By taking responsibility for separating and disposing of recyclable material or waste yourself, you can save on waste disposal costs.
