Respectful Probate Property Clearance
Dealing with a property after someone has passed away can be stressful. London Waste Van helps families, executors and solicitors clear probate properties respectfully and efficiently.
We can clear flats, family homes, garages, lofts and entire estates, always working with care around personal possessions and family instructions.
Working With Executors, Families & Solicitors
Executors often need a reliable clearance company to prepare a property for sale, valuation, letting or renovation. We provide fixed quotes, clear communication and fast attendance across London.
We can work from photos and videos or arrange a visit for larger probate homes.
What Happens During A Probate Clearance
The usual process is simple: identify items to keep, send photos/videos or arrange a viewing, receive a quote, choose a date, then we clear the unwanted contents. The property can then be prepared for estate agents, cleaners or contractors.
Sentimental & Important Items
Before clearance, families should check for documents, wills, photographs, jewellery, watches, medals, bank paperwork, keys and sentimental items. We can work around labelled boxes or areas that still need checking.
Probate Clearance Costs
Probate clearances vary widely. Small flats may be a few hundred pounds, while full homes and large estates can cost £600–£2,500+ VAT depending on size, access, labour and specialist items.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Our volume pricing gives customers a clear starting point. House clearances and specialist property clearances are quoted according to volume, access, labour, loading time and any additional disposal items.

Why Some Items Cost More To Remove
Some items require specialist disposal routes. POPs means Persistent Organic Pollutants. These are chemicals found in some upholstered furniture and soft furnishings that must be handled separately from normal mixed waste. Fridges, freezers, tyres, paint and gas bottles also need separate treatment.
