If your garage has become less of a parking space and more of a dumping ground, you are not alone. Across London, thousands of homeowners, landlords, and businesses use their garage as a catch-all for years of accumulated clutter and getting it cleared can feel like an impossible task. That is where a professional garage clearance service makes all the difference. We Clear Junk has been helping Londoners reclaim their garages since 2006, and in this guide, we will walk you through exactly what we remove and how the whole process works.
Is Your Garage Packed With Things You Have No Idea How to Shift?
You know the feeling. You open the garage door, take one look inside, and close it again. Old bikes, broken power tools, stacks of cardboard, rusted shelving, mystery boxes from three house moves ago, it all builds up fast. The problem is not just the time it takes to sort through everything. It is knowing what to do with it once you have. Some items need specialist disposal. Some can be recycled. Some require a licensed waste carrier to remove legally. Trying to handle all of that on your own is a weekend you will not get back, and that is before you factor in hiring a van and queuing at the tip.What Does a Professional Garage Clearance Actually Remove?
This is the question we get asked most. The short answer: almost everything. Our team handles a wide range of items that most people struggle to shift on their own. Here is what a typical garage clearance in London covers:- Old furniture shelving units, wardrobes, chairs, desks and sofas stored in the garage
- White goods and electrical items, washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges, freezers and microwaves (handled through our electrical appliances removal service)
- Scrap metal, old bikes, car parts, steel shelving and piping collected via our scrap metal collection service
- Garden equipment, broken lawnmowers, old patio furniture, hoses and power tools
- General rubbish and black bags, years of accumulated waste, and household overflow
- Boxes and cardboard, including old files, books and items you no longer need
- Timber and wood broken shelves, pallets, old doors or window frames

For larger garages or properties with significant build-up, it may take longer but we will give you a realistic timeframe when you book.Can You Get a Garage Clearance for Free?
It is worth being clear about what garage clearance for free actually looks like in practice. Some councils offer free bulky waste collections, but these are usually limited to a small number of items, require advance booking weeks ahead, and do not cover the full range of materials found in a typical garage. If your garage contains scrap metal, electrical items, or mixed waste, a council collection will not cover it. Some charities will collect items in good, usable condition but they cannot clear a whole garage and will not take anything broken or damaged. A fully managed professional clearance is rarely free, but it is worth every penny when you weigh it against the time, effort, and risk of attempting it yourself with multiple trips to the tip.How Much Does Garage Clearance Cost in London?
Garage clearance cost in London varies depending on the volume of items, the type of waste involved, and how accessible the garage is. At We Clear Junk, we price based on the amount of truck space your clearance takes up not by the hour. You pay a fair rate for exactly what needs to be removed. As a rough guide:- Small garage clear (a quarter truck load): from around £100–£150
- Medium garage (half a truck): from around £200–£280
- Full garage clearance (a full truck load): from around £380+

How long does a garage clearance take?
Most single-garage clearances take between 1 and 3 hours depending on the volume of items. Larger or more cluttered garages may take half a day. We will always give you a realistic time estimate when you book.
Are commercial rubbish bins different from household bins?
Yes, we ask that someone is present at the start of the job to confirm what is being removed and to give our team access. You do not need to stay for the entire clearance if it is not convenient.
What items cannot be removed during a garage clearance?
We are unable to remove certain hazardous materials such as asbestos, petrol, or active chemical tanks. For anything borderline, just ask us when you enquire, and we will advise on the best course of action.
Is We Clear Junk licensed to carry waste?
Yes. We Clear Junk is a fully licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. All items collected are disposed of legally and responsibly, with as much as possible diverted to recycling or reuse.
Do you offer same-day garage clearance in London?
