House clearances designed around you
Whatever your needs, our service is tailored to suit you; whether you need a partial or full clearance, we are on hand to help. We will guide you through the entire process, so you get the exact service that you require from us. We are also happy to answer any questions and offer free advice about the process if required.
Kennedy’s work on your behalf and can complete any job without your presence should you prefer. We are able to dispose of all items including furniture, white goods, clothing and kitchenware. We can also take up unwanted carpets, clear lofts, cellars, garages and outbuildings.
If you live elsewhere and cannot meet us directly, we can arrange access through your estate agent or representative in order to provide a quote or to carry out the work. If a visit is not possible, we offer estimates based on photographs and a description of your clearance.
Free tailored quotes
As every clearance is unique in terms of the amount of waste to clear and the time to do this, then costs vary accordingly. This is why we offer free of charge visits in order to understand exactly what you need from us, providing you with a total cost for your house clearance. During this visit we will also answer any questions you may have, and offer advice to make the process as easy as possible.
Our quotes take into account any items of value that you do not wish to keep; which we offset against the cost of the clearance to reduce your overall price.
Your property is fully covered
Here at Kennedy’s, we understand that the property being cleared is often being made ready for sale, or to be handed back to a landlord or council. We take great care to avoid any damage to the property during the clearance process and have fully trained staff to avoid this.
Should the worst occur, you can rest assured that you and your property are fully covered with the correct insurances, giving you extra peace of mind.
Fully licensed waste carrier
As Kennedy’s are fully registered and licensed upper tier waste carriers with the Environment Agency, you can be sure that your items are dealt with correctly and responsibly. All waste items are processed for recycling at a registered waste and recycling recovery site; any non-recyclable items are prepared for incineration, to be used for energy production.
Responsible waste management is very important to us and with fly tipping on the increase; it is so important to use a reputable business for your disposal needs. This protects you from the risk of being fined, as it is your legal responsibility to use a licenced waste carrier. In 2020/21, local authorities within England dealt with 1.13 million fly tipping incidents (DEFRA 2021).
Recycling & Reusing
We always strive to reuse or recycle as many items as possible. We work closely with various charities and businesses to achieve this, avoiding unnecessary waste wherever possible.
Items such as kitchenware, clothing, tools and furniture are often reusable, and we regularly donate these items to charities. We also regularly donate bed covers and towels to various animal shelters.
Additional services
Many of our clients require a property that has been cleared to be made ready for sale or for rental. This is why we have additional services available that offer bespoke cleaning options. These services include professional house cleaning and professional carpet cleaning.
These services are available once a clearance is complete. If you require any of these services, please let us know during the initial visit. We will provide you with a separate quote for any additional services.

House Clearance Frequently asked questions
We have put together a number of answers to the common questions from previous clients; this will hopefully answer any questions you may have about the house clearance process. If you have any additional questions, please do contact us as we are more than happy to answer them.
How do I book in a house clearance quote if I live elsewhere?
If you require a quote, please just get in touch with us. We can determine what option works best for you; we can arrange access through your estate agent, solicitor or any other point of contact you choose.
What do I need to do before my clearance date?
All we really need is for you to identify a main point of contact for access. As we use large clearance vehicles, it is helpful to arrange suitable parking if possible, allowing us direct access to the property.
Do I need to bag or box up items that I don’t want to keep?
The simple answer is no, we do this for you. This actually helps us to identify items that can be reused through donations, which also reduces the number of items being disposed of.
Do I need to be present during the clearance?
Given the circumstances around house clearances, most of our clients prefer not to be present during this process. We can collect keys for access and retain any items you have identified during your house clearance.
What about the items I want to keep?
We encourage all clients to take or identify whatever items they wish to retain prior to a clearance. It is important to understand that once the house clearance begins, removed items are not recoverable.
We can help you move and transport any large items you wish to keep throughout most of the UK. For smaller items, we can package and post these out to you if you live elsewhere or can deliver them once the house clearance is complete.
What about missing items?
We often locate lost items such as photos, certificates, medals and important documents which we always retain for our clients. If you need us to look out for any missing items, we will do our very best to locate them for you.
Do you remove everything during a clearance?
This all depends on your requirements; all loose items tend to be removed during a house clearance. Typically, items that are classed as built-in usually remain during the clearance process unless otherwise instructed. Curtains and blinds are not normally removed unless required. Carpets can be lifted and removed if needed. White goods can be taken or retained depending on your needs.
Do you charge more for items such as fridges and mattresses?
We factor all the costs of your house clearance into our prices, so your quote includes everything with no additional charges.
Do you offset the price of valuable goods?
During your house clearance quote, we will identify any items of value and adjust the costs accordingly, so the quote you receive will take your valuable items into account. It is worth remembering that selling an item yourself is always going to give you the best price and we are happy to advise on this.
What happens to the cleared items?
As an environmentally responsible company, we attempt to re-use as many items as possible; finding new homes through various outlets such as charity shops. Items not fit for re-use are sorted during the house clearance for recycling purposes and are taken to waste recycling centres. Any remaining items are processed at the waste recycling centres for incineration for energy production.
Do you offer a property cleaning service?
Yes, if you require a property clean after a house clearance, we have a specialist team on hand. This additional service is available to our clients at an added cost. We can tailor this to your specific needs to include oven cleans and carpet cleaning if required.
How long does a house clearance take?
This depends on the volume of items to clear and the size of the property. Typically, a full house clearance will take one or two days and a partial clearance will take one day or less. When providing a quote, we will confirm the length of time we expect it would take.
Is VAT Added to your prices?
The short answer is no, there is no VAT to pay on your house clearance, so the quote we provide is the total price you will pay.
