What Is A Loft Clearance?

A loft clearance means a professional team comes in, removes everything from your loft space, and disposes of it responsibly in a single visit. Whether you are preparing for a conversion, selling up, or simply running out of room, it is a straightforward service that does exactly what it says.

At Clear It Out, we carry out loft clearances across London, Surrey and Kent seven days a week. Here is what the service involves and what to expect on the day.

A loft clearance covers the full removal of items from your loft space. That means boxes, old furniture, clothes, sports equipment, books, Christmas decorations, insulation boards, or anything else that has built up over the years.

The team carries everything down safely, sorts it at ground level, and removes it from your property. You do not need to have sorted or bagged anything beforehand. The job is to empty the space.

It is worth noting that a loft clearance is not the same as a loft conversion. The clearance empties the space. What you do with it afterwards is entirely up to you.

Once we have agreed a quote, we confirm a date and arrive at the time you have booked. The team will:

• Access your loft safely using the existing hatch and ladder
• Bring all items down and out of the property
• Sort items for donation, recycling, or disposal
• Leave the space clear and ready for whatever comes next

Most loft clearances take between two and four hours, depending on how much is up there. For particularly full lofts or difficult access points, we flag this at the quoting stage so there are no surprises on the day.

We are a fully licensed waste carrier, and everything that comes out of your loft is dealt with responsibly.

Items in good condition, including clothes, furniture and household goods, are donated to local charities or passed on for resale where possible. Materials that can be recycled go to a licensed facility. What genuinely cannot be reused or recycled is disposed of through a registered site. We keep landfill to a minimum on every job.

Lofts are awkward spaces. Access is tight, items tend to be heavy or bulky, and you are working at height throughout. Without the right equipment and a few extra pairs of hands, what looks like a half-day job can stretch considerably.

There is also the question of disposal. Without a licensed waste carrier certificate, you would be making multiple trips to the tip or hiring a skip separately on top of the clearance itself. A professional team handles the access, the carrying, the sorting, and the disposal in a single visit. For most people, that is a straightforward calculation.

Cost depends on volume: how much is up there, how heavy it is, and how straightforward the access is. We price based on load rather than by the hour, so you will get a fixed quote before any work starts.
