A town built to a plan, and it shows in the clearance

Stevenage was designated Britain's first New Town in 1946 and built out in six neighbourhoods: Stoney Hall and Monks Wood occupied first in 1951, Bedwell in 1952, Broadwater and Shephall in 1953, Chells through the 1960s. Bedwell is the pattern for a lot of it, two-storey two and three bedroom houses, small blocks of flats and bungalows on curved roads and cul-de-sacs with broad verges.

For a clearance that is close to ideal. There is somewhere to put a vehicle, the verges mean you are not blocking a lane, and the houses were built with storage. The exceptions are the small blocks of flats, where it is a stairwell carry, and the Old Town, which predates all of it and behaves like the market town it was.

Three fields, all short. It comes straight to us and we come back to you with a written price. Nothing is shared with anyone else.

Or price it yourself, right now

Tick off what needs taking and the tool works your price out two ways, off our collection list and off our load sizes, and shows you the cheaper one. Then pick a day. It takes about a minute and you do not have to wait for anybody.

Or send a photo, which is quicker

  • A photo tells us the load size straight away, so you get a real price instead of a range.
  • You are not asked to guess whether it is a half load or a full one. That is our job.
  • The price you are given is the price you pay, and it covers the labour and the disposal.
  • It goes straight to us, not to a call centre, and we are the ones who come back to you.

What house clearance in Stevenage takes in

What a whole-property job here usually takes in.

Get a price for this
  • Bereavement clearance. A probate at the family's pace, room by room, with anything being kept set aside before anything is loaded.
  • End of tenancy clearance. Between tenancies, back to bare floors ready to photograph and re-let.
  • Hoarder clearance. Sorted rather than shovelled. Paperwork, photographs and anything of value come out first and go to you.
  • Shed clearance. Emptied and swept out. On these estates the shed or the store is usually carrying seventy years of accumulation.
  • Attic clearance. Cleared and carried down, and in a small block of flats that stair sets the timetable.
  • Storage unit clearance. A storage unit emptied and handed back so the rent on it stops.

What the borough charges, and what ten items does not cover

Stevenage Borough Council changed its bulky waste pricing in January 2026 to a flat rate: £51.00 for up to three items, then £14.00 for each item above that, capped at ten. It is simpler than the tiered system it replaced and for a handful of items it is the sensible option.

Ten items is the ceiling though, and a house is not ten items. It is a houseful. The other thing a per-item price hides is that you are still the one getting each of those ten things out of the property and to the collection point.

The tip on Caxton Way, SG1 2DF, is open seven days a week from 10am to 5.30pm, which is generous. It is still a car at a time, and a house clearance is not a car at a time.

Questions we get asked about this

Ask us something else
The flat is up two flights with no lift. Does that cost extra?

No. The carry is part of the job and it is inside the load price. Just tell us the floor when you ring so the figure is right first time.

Can you park on the verge outside?

Usually there is room on these estates, which is one of the reasons a Stevenage clearance tends to run quickly.

Is it cheaper to book the council collection for some of it?

For three items, yes, and we will tell you so. Past ten items it is not an option at all, and that is where a load price starts making sense.
