We Clear Junk has been collecting household waste around Whitehall and Parliament Square since 2006, and our fully licensed, insured 15-truck fleet is generally able to offer a same-day or next-day slot anywhere across SW1A.
Our two-person crews are just as comfortable clearing a ministry office near Downing Street as they are working through the narrow stairwells of a Lutyens-designed estate off Page Street, and every property in between is handled with the same care.
Westminster has sat at the centre of national government since around 1200, and that history is still visible in the streets our crews work on every week: the Portland stone ministries lining Whitehall, the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey rising over Parliament Square, and the Georgian terraces of Smith Square, long occupied by political party offices and think tanks rather than ordinary households. Away from the government buildings, a different Westminster exists in the Grosvenor Estate’s Page Street and Vincent Square blocks, the distinctive Lutyens-designed social housing that has housed families here for a century, and in the choir school and canons’ houses tucked into Dean’s Yard beside the Abbey. We Clear Junk is called into all of it, from a Whitehall department clearing out a floor of filing cabinets, to a Smith Square townhouse changing political tenants, to a family in a Page Street flat needing old furniture gone before a new one arrives. Security passes, listed-building access restrictions and tight communal stairwells are all familiar territory for our teams, and each job is priced as a single upfront figure with the majority of what we collect kept out of landfill through recycling, donation or reuse.

If you have ordered with us before, the below form allows you to make a quick re-order.
Getting a Westminster property cleared takes four simple steps from your first call to a finished job.
Call 020 3504 5097 or book through our website. Let us know your SW1A postcode and roughly what you need cleared, and we'll check whether a same-day or next-day slot is open.
Set aside anything you'd rather see donated than disposed of and we'll take care of passing it on. Everything else can stay exactly where it is, our crew handles all the lifting.
Before we arrive, you'll have one fixed price covering the whole job, whether it's a single office clear-out or a full flat, with nothing added once our team is on site.
Two of our team turn up on schedule, sign in at security or with a building manager if needed, and work quickly and carefully through stairwells, lifts or loading areas. A final walkthrough confirms everything's been done to your satisfaction.
Desks, filing cabinets, sofas and wardrobes are carried out of ministry offices, political townhouses and residential flats alike. Full details are on our sofa & mattress removal service page.
Fridges, washing machines and other appliances are removed and disposed of properly through our electrical appliance disposal service.
Bagged waste, packaging and mixed household rubbish are taken in any quantity, no job too small to be worth booking.
Stripped partitions, old cabling and flooring from an office refit or flat refurbishment go through our builders waste removal team.
Where a Westminster property does have loft or storage space, we clear years of accumulated items right down to bare boards.
Cuttings and bagged green waste from a courtyard, balcony or small communal garden are collected through our garden waste clearance service.
Landlords, agents and outgoing tenants across SW1A rely on us to reset a property quickly, with nothing left behind for the next occupant.
Worn carpets, curtains and other soft furnishings are removed and recycled wherever possible.
Between government offices resetting after a reshuffle, political townhouses changing hands and Page Street families clearing out a flat, our Westminster jobs rarely look alike, and our crews are equipped for whichever it is. The full service is explained on our household waste clearance service page.
Given how central Westminster is, slots don't stay open for long, so it pays to book ahead or ring us directly to check same-day availability.
The price you're quoted is the price you pay, with any extra cost always agreed before we start, never afterwards.
Roughly 97% of what we collect is recycled, donated or reused rather than sent to landfill.
Insured and DBS-checked, our crews are used to signing in at a ministry reception or working carefully through a listed building's corridors.
A single filing cabinet or an entire townhouse, our 15-truck fleet is equally set up for either end of the scale.
Evening and weekend appointments are available for offices and households that can't fit a weekday visit.
Furniture and equipment still in good condition is passed to local Westminster charities instead of going to waste.
We don't leave until the space is genuinely ready, whether that's for a new tenant, a new occupant, or simply your own peace of mind.
The council’s bulky waste service covers up to six items for £36, with £6.40 charged for each item after that, and collections are booked online rather than arranged on short notice. Residents receiving Housing Benefit or full Council Tax Support are entitled to one free collection of up to six items every 90 days, though the booking process and wait are the same either way. We Clear Junk works differently in Westminster: our crew comes to the address, clears everything in a single visit with no cap on item numbers, and can usually offer a same-day or next-day appointment. Our household waste clearance service page has the full details.
Yes, and it is not a small cost: the City of Westminster charges around £175 for a seven-day skip permit on a public road, one of the highest rates of any London borough. Finding anywhere to actually put a skip is its own challenge here too, given how little spare kerb space there is around Whitehall, Parliament Square and the surrounding streets. Most households and offices in Westminster book our man-and-van collection instead, so there’s no permit application and no skip to arrange parking around.
Furniture, appliances, general rubbish, renovation debris, garden waste and carpets are all collected in a single visit, with about 97% diverted away from landfill.
Same-day and next-day appointments are regularly available across SW1A, so call 020 3504 5097 and we'll confirm what slots are open today.
Yes. Our crews are experienced with the security checks, listed-building restrictions and tight stairwells found across Westminster, from ministry buildings to Page Street's estate blocks, and we plan access in advance so nothing holds up the job.
Yes, fully licensed and insured, with ISO 9001 and 14001 certification. A waste transfer note is available on request for any business, landlord or government office that needs one.
