Our house clearance services in Cardiff
No job is too small or too large. Across Cardiff we can clear:
- Full houses, including clearances following a bereavement or for probate
- Flats and apartments, including upper-floor flats and blocks with shared entrances
- Garages and sheds
- Gardens and garden waste
- Individual items of furniture, such as sofas, beds and wardrobes
- Commercial premises, including shops, offices and warehouses
- General household waste and rubbish
We can handle most types of waste and always try to recycle or put items back into use rather than sending them to landfill. You can find out more about how we deal with what we collect on our waste disposal page.
We are knowledgeable about the value of property contents and take this into account when we give you a quotation. In some homes the value of the contents can help to cover the cost of the clearance, and we also offer a valuation and purchase service for high-value antique and collectable items.
Clearing Cardiff homes of every kind
Cardiff has a huge variety of housing, and each type brings its own practicalities. Long streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas such as Roath, Canton, Cathays, Splott and Grangetown often have narrow frontages, steep stairs and very little space outside to load a vehicle. Many terraced streets also have residents’ permit parking, so we plan access and loading in advance to keep the job running smoothly and to avoid inconvenience to neighbours.
In Cardiff Bay, the city centre and other modern developments, flat clearances can mean lifts, communal corridors, concierge desks and building management rules about when items can be moved. Larger family homes in suburbs such as Cyncoed, Lisvane, Llandaff and Radyr may hold decades of belongings, along with lofts, garages, outbuildings and big gardens. We look at each property individually and plan the clearance around it.
Bereavement and probate clearances in Cardiff
Clearing the home of someone who has died is rarely just a practical task. We understand how difficult it can be, and we work at a pace that suits the family. Before anything is removed, we agree with you what should be kept, and we work closely with families to identify valuable, sentimental or cherished items, such as photographs, paperwork and jewellery, so that nothing important is lost.
Executors and family members dealing with a Cardiff property often live elsewhere in the UK. If you cannot be there in person, we can liaise with your estate agent, solicitor or a trusted neighbour, and return the keys once the job is done. Because we take the value of any saleable contents into account, a probate clearance quote can reflect what the contents are worth as well as the work involved.
“Nigel from House Clearance Wales was super helpful with clearing our Grans house in Cardiff. He gave me very honest evaluations of anything that had value, he was hard working, respectful of the home and does his best to find a new home for things, to avoid them going into landfill. I highly recommend his services and will be passing his info on to our friends and family. Great value and great service all around.”

Landlords, letting agents and student lets
Cardiff has a large private rented sector, from family homes to the many student houses in Cathays, Roath and the surrounding streets. When a tenancy ends, there is often furniture, bedding, kitchenware and general rubbish left behind, and the property needs to be emptied before it can be cleaned, repaired or re-let.
We clear rented houses and flats at the end of a tenancy, after an eviction or when a landlord is preparing to sell. We can work with letting agents and property managers, collect and return keys, and leave the property empty and ready for the next stage. If you manage several properties in Cardiff, just get in touch to talk through what you need.

Why using a licensed waste carrier matters
We are fully licensed by Natural Resources Wales as an upper tier waste carrier (registration number CBDU027201). Householders have a legal duty of care to make sure their waste is passed to an authorised carrier. If you hand your rubbish to someone who is not licensed and it ends up fly-tipped, you could be held responsible and face a fine.
Choosing a licensed company gives you peace of mind that your belongings are handled properly and disposed of legally, with as little environmental impact as possible. Before you book any clearance, it is always worth asking for the company’s waste carrier registration number and checking it on the public register held by Natural Resources Wales.
Recycling and reuse
We do our best to find a new home for things rather than sending them to landfill. Wherever possible, usable furniture and household items are put back into use, and materials such as metal, wood, cardboard and green waste are separated for recycling.

Cardiff house clearance FAQs
Do you cover all of Cardiff?
Yes. We are based in Barry, around 7 miles away, and we cover the whole city, from Cardiff Bay and the city centre to suburbs such as Whitchurch, Llanishen, Llandaff, Radyr and St Mellons.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. We are fully licensed by Natural Resources Wales as an upper tier waste carrier, registration number CBDU027201, so your waste is handled legally and responsibly.
Can the value of the contents reduce the cost of the clearance?
It can. We take the value of any saleable contents into account when we quote, and we offer a valuation and purchase service for high-value antiques and collectables.
Can you clear a flat with no parking outside?
Yes. Many Cardiff flats and terraced houses have limited or permit-only parking, so we plan access and loading before the day of the clearance.
Do you clear rented and student properties?
We do. We clear houses and flats at the end of a tenancy for landlords and letting agents, including student lets, and we can collect and return keys.
Do I need to be there on the day?
Not necessarily. Many relatives and executors live elsewhere in the UK, so we can liaise with your estate agent, solicitor or letting agent and return the keys once the job is done. Call 01446 677337 to talk it through.
