Loft clearance without you going up the ladder

Things go into a loft one box at a time and come out all at once. By the time you are moving, converting the space or having insulation fitted, there can be decades of suitcases, toys, paperwork and spare carpet up there. Rubbish Removals Ltd clears lofts of all of it. We bring everything down through the hatch, carry it to the van and tidy up.

The work is slow and awkward, which is why people put it off. Every item has to be passed down a ladder through an opening not much wider than a suitcase. Headroom is low, the light is poor, and where there are no boards you can only stand on the joists. Larger pieces that went up in parts usually have to come down in parts, so we dismantle where needed.

Lofts are often cleared alongside other storage spaces. If the same clear-out takes in the outbuildings or the basement, look at garage clearance and cellar clearance. When the whole property is being emptied, a full house clearance puts everything on one quote. Tell us what else is going and we will price it together, so you are not booking the same van twice.

Before we arrive, the most useful thing you can do is decide what is staying. Photographs, documents and keepsakes tend to be mixed in with the junk, and our guide on how to prepare for a house clearance has a simple method for sorting them. For a quote, send a photo taken from the hatch, or tell us roughly how many boxes there are. Quotes are free and the price is confirmed before loading.

How our loft clearance works

  1. Photo from the hatch

    Send a picture or a rough count of boxes, and tell us about the hatch, the ladder and whether the loft is boarded.

  2. Agree the price

    We give a free quote and book a day, same-day or next-day wherever possible.

  3. Everything comes down

    Items are passed down through the hatch and carried straight out to the van, with large pieces taken apart first.

  4. Check and tidy

    You confirm the loft is as you want it. We tidy the landing and stairs and leave your paperwork.

Why choose us for loft clearance

You stay off the ladder

Loft ladders and heavy boxes are a poor mix. We do every trip up and down, so you can stay on the landing.

Careful in tight spaces

We watch where we step on unboarded joists and take care around insulation, pipes, wiring and water tanks.

Keepsakes set aside

Tell us what to look out for, such as photo albums or a particular box, and we put it to one side instead of loading it.

Insured indoor work

Upper tier waste carrier licence CBDU526130 and public liability cover up to £5 million.

Hatches, ladders and unboarded lofts

Tell us what the access is like. A fitted loft ladder and a boarded floor make for a quicker job. A small hatch over the stairs, no ladder and bare joists make for a slower one, and access is one of the things that affects the price. We need a clear landing below the hatch, so move anything fragile out of the way. If the loft has no fixed light, let us know.

Lofts hold the things families find hardest to sort, and that is especially true after a death. If you are clearing a relative's home, our probate clearance page explains how we work around what the family wants to keep. Old insulation, water tanks or boards that might contain asbestos are a different matter from boxes and cases. Send us a photo and ask us first, because some materials need a specialist contractor.

Loft clearance FAQs

What if my loft has no ladder?

Tell us when you ask for a quote so we come prepared. Let us know the height of the ceiling, where the hatch is and whether it sits over a landing or the stairs. A photo of the hatch from below is the easiest way to show us.

My loft is not boarded. Can you still clear it?

Yes. In an unboarded loft the team steps only on the joists, which makes the work slower. Tell us in advance, along with how far from the hatch the items are stored. If things have been pushed right into the eaves, mention that too.

How do you price a loft clearance if I cannot see everything?

Give us your best estimate, such as the number of boxes you can see and how far back they go. We quote on that, then confirm the price on the day once we have looked, before anything is loaded. Our guide to rubbish removal costs shows what each load size looks like.

Will you look out for things I want to keep?

We can set aside anything you describe, such as photo albums, a named box or a particular case. We cannot judge what has sentimental value, so if a box might hold something important, ask us to bring it down for you to check before it is loaded.

Can you take an old water tank or loft insulation?

Send us a photo and ask us first. It depends on what the item is made of, how big it is and whether it can come through the hatch. Some older materials may contain asbestos, which needs a specialist contractor, so we will always look before giving an answer.

Will there be a lot of dust and mess?

Lofts are dusty and some of that comes down with the boxes. We keep the route from the hatch to the front door as clear as we can and tidy the landing and stairs before we leave. Moving ornaments and pictures off the landing beforehand helps.
