House Clearance Across Manchester
For families, executors, landlords and letting agents – careful full and part clearances of flats and houses throughout Manchester.
There is usually more to emptying a home than rubbish. The reason may be the end of a tenancy, a relative moving into care, a death in the family or a move to somewhere smaller – leaving a jumble of belongings, furniture, appliances and ordinary waste. A house clearance hands the entire task to somebody else.
Skips Manchester arranges clearances throughout Manchester and the towns of Greater Manchester. Room by room, the crew takes away whatever you have asked them to remove – whether that is a one-bedroom flat in Salford or a family home in Didsbury or Altrincham. Good-quality items are kept back for charity or reuse where possible, and everything else is recycled at licensed facilities.

House Clearance services
A careful, respectful clearance
Emptying the home of someone close to you is easier with a crew that follows your instructions and treats the place with respect. Ahead of the day, take away or label whatever you intend to keep, and let us know which items or rooms are off limits. Not certain what every cupboard and drawer contains? Say so, and any valuables, photographs or documents that turn up along the way can be put to one side for you.
Where the family would rather not arrange things themselves, a solicitor or executor can book the clearance for them, with entry handled through a key holder or a set of keys.
Clearances for landlords and end of tenancy
When a tenant has left belongings behind, or a property has to be stripped out ahead of a refurbishment, letting agents and landlords book a clearance to empty it before the next let. Upstairs flats and terraced houses with narrow stairs are everyday jobs for the crew, who leave the place empty and ready for the cleaners. For business clients, a waste transfer note is issued covering everything taken away.
Got a relet date to hit? Tell us when you request your quote, and the clearance can be scheduled before the inventory check, the trades and the cleaners arrive.
Household items needing special handling
A general load is not the right place for certain things found in most homes:
- gas bottles, garden chemicals and paint count as hazardous waste
- electricals such as monitors and TVs go for WEEE recycling
- armchairs, sofas and similar upholstered seating can contain POPs, so they travel as a separate collection
- freezers and fridges have to be degassed by a specialist
Flag any of these when you ask for a quote, which lets us line up the correct vehicles and disposal routes. Leftover medication does not belong in a clearance – take it back to a nearby pharmacy instead.

House Clearance – your questions answered
Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.
Must I be present while the house clearance takes place?
No, you do not have to be. Executors, and relatives who live some distance away, arrange a large share of Manchester clearances. Provided we can get in and know exactly what is to go, the job can be done without you there, and you will be told once it is finished.
Could furniture in good condition go to charity instead of being disposed of?
We can keep items back for reuse when they are in decent order and meet the charity’s criteria. For upholstered pieces, that generally means the fire safety label must still be attached. Whatever is not fit for reuse goes for recycling wherever that is possible.
What decides the price of a house clearance?
The price reflects how much there is, the kinds of items, the time required and access – stairs up to an upper-floor flat, for example. Photographs of every room let us quote accurately. To begin, request a quote.
Is it possible to clear only a garage or loft?
It is – part clearances are routine. If it is one load of junk and not a whole clearance, rubbish removal could be enough. Getting into the loft of an older Manchester terrace can be tricky, so tell us the hatch size and whether there is a ladder.
