Question 1

How much does a house clearance cost in Newcastle and the North East?

Accepted Answer

We offer affordable house clearance across the North East. The cost varies based on the size of the property, the volume of furniture or waste to remove, and the level of service required. Every quote is fixed-price, with no hidden fees. Request a free quote on our contact page and we'll come back to you the same day where possible.

Question 2

How do I book a house clearance?

Accepted Answer

Booking is simple. Call us directly on 07894 711 282, request a free no-obligation quote through our website, or visit our shop in Newcastle. We'll arrange a time that suits you and tailor the service to your needs.

Question 3

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept bank transfer, debit and credit cards, and cash. For probate clearances and landlord/letting-agent work we can invoice the estate, solicitor or business directly with payment terms agreed up front.

Question 4

Do you buy valuable items during a clearance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offset the value of items such as antiques, vintage homeware, collectables and quality furniture against the cost of your clearance. This can significantly reduce your bill and ensures items find a new home rather than going to waste.

Question 5

Do you offer same-day or emergency house clearance services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Angel House Clearance offers same-day clearance across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, County Durham and Northumberland whenever availability allows. We understand that urgent situations — bereavement clearances, last-minute landlord requests, or end-of-tenancy deadlines — need fast support, and we always aim to respond quickly.

Question 6

Do you take everything in a house clearance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we can remove almost all household items, including furniture, white goods, clothing, books, ornaments and general clutter. Hazardous waste (asbestos, medical waste, chemicals) requires specialist disposal, which we can help arrange if needed.

Question 7

Can you clear garages, lofts, sheds and outbuildings too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our service covers all parts of a property — lofts, cellars, garages, sheds and outbuildings. We'll remove bulky items, dismantle furniture if needed, and leave the space tidy.

Question 8

How quickly can you clear a house?

Accepted Answer

In most cases a full clearance takes a few hours up to 1–2 days, depending on house size and the level of clutter. For probate, bereavement or end-of-tenancy clearances we offer priority scheduling across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, County Durham and Northumberland.

Question 9

How should I prepare a property before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

Honestly — you don't need to do anything. Leave everything where it is. We'll bring our own packing materials, dismantle furniture, lift carpets and disconnect appliances. If there are items you'd like to keep, simply set them aside or point them out and we'll work around them. The less you have to do, the better.

Question 10

I only have one item I want cleared — do I need a house clearance company?

Accepted Answer

We're happy to help with single-item clearances as well as full house clearances. Another option is Newcastle City Council's bulky waste service. Either way, give us a call and we'll point you in the right direction.

Question 11

Which areas do you cover for house clearance?

Accepted Answer

Our core service area is Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, County Durham and Northumberland — covering the whole North East including towns such as North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Hexham, Whitley Bay and Darlington. Get in touch if you're not sure whether your postcode is covered.

Question 12

Do you offer probate or bereavement house clearances?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide respectful, discreet and professional probate and bereavement clearances. We can supply an itemised inventory and receipts for solicitors or estate management. See our probate clearance page for full details.

Question 13

Can you clear a property after a bereavement or grant of probate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialise in respectful, discreet clearances following a bereavement or probate. We handle everything from sorting and packing to responsible disposal, donation and storage of personal items, and we work closely with solicitors and executors to ensure a smooth, compliant probate clearance.

Question 14

Can you help with compulsive hoarding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We approach hoarding clearances with professionalism and compassion, and ensure we have the most suitable team on hand for an effective and thorough clearance — including after-death hoarder clearances for families and executors. See our hoarding clearance page for full details.

Question 15

What happens to the items after a house clearance?

Accepted Answer

We prioritise reuse and recycling. Items suitable for resale are sold, usable goods are donated to local charities and families in need, and recyclable materials are processed responsibly. This helps reduce landfill and keeps costs fair for our customers.

Question 16

What percentage of items do you divert from landfill?

Accepted Answer

We typically divert 80%+ of every clearance away from landfill through resale, donation and recycling. The exact figure depends on the contents of the property, but reducing landfill is a core part of how we run the business.

Question 17

Do you donate items to families in need?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is at the heart of what we do. Usable furniture, white goods, clothing, toys and household basics are regularly passed on to local families and community partners across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, County Durham and Northumberland.

Question 18

Are you licensed and insured for house clearances?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Angel House Clearance is fully licensed by the Environment Agency (waste carrier licence CBDU380307) and carries full public liability insurance. This ensures all items are disposed of legally and responsibly.

Question 19

Are you a licensed waste carrier in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are registered with the Environment Agency (CBDU380307) and our licence details are shown at the foot of every page on this site, and verifiable on the Environment Agency's public register.

Question 20

Can you provide a waste transfer note or proof of disposal?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we provide a full waste transfer note or proof of disposal for every clearance. As a licensed waste carrier serving Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, County Durham and Northumberland we comply with all UK environmental regulations. This documentation is ideal for landlords, estate agents, solicitors and anyone needing official records for insurance or legal purposes.
