How much does a house clearance cost in Kent?
A house clearance in Kent typically costs £600–£1,200 for a three-bedroom property, £350–£650 for a one-bed flat and £1,200–£2,400 for a four-bed house with loft, garage and garden. Price depends on volume, access, parking and how much can be resold or recycled rather than disposed of.

House clearance is priced on volume, not on the number of rooms, which is why two identical three-bedroom houses in Maidstone can differ by £400. What matters is how many cubic yards leave the property, how far the crew carries it, and how much of the load is chargeable waste rather than reusable furniture we can pass to a Kent reuse partner.
The prices below are the ranges we quote across Kent in 2026. They are all-in figures: labour, transport, transfer-station gate fees and your waste transfer note. We confirm a fixed number before we load, so what you are quoted is what you pay.
What it costs
| Load / item | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single room clear | One bedroom or a study emptied, furniture dismantled and removed | £210 – £400 |
| One-bedroom flat | Full contents including white goods, no loft or garden | £350 – £650 |
| Two-bedroom house | Contents plus a small shed or garden clearance | £450 – £850 |
| Three-bedroom house | Full contents, loft, garage and garden waste | £600 – £1,200 |
| Four-bedroom house | Full contents, outbuildings, multiple loads over one or two days | £1,200 – £2,400 |
| Hoarded property | Deep clearance, PPE, sharps handling and specialist sorting | £1,400 – £4,000 |
| Probate clearance with valuation | Itemised inventory, saleable items offset against the price | £700 – £1,800 |
Typical Kent house clearance prices by property size, 2026, including disposal
What moves the price
Volume of waste, measured in cubic yards
Everything is priced from van space. A full 12-cubic-yard load is roughly the same volume as a 6-yard skip. A three-bed house usually fills two to three loads once wardrobes, mattresses and loft contents are counted.
Access, stairs and parking
A ground-floor Ashford bungalow with driveway parking clears faster than a third-floor Tunbridge Wells flat with no lift and a controlled parking zone. Long carries and suspension bays add crew time, which is the single biggest cost after disposal.
POPs-classified upholstery
Sofas, armchairs, mattresses and office chairs are treated as persistent organic pollutant waste and must be incinerated separately rather than recycled. Each POPs item carries a specific gate fee, typically £25–£45.
Fridges, freezers and electricals
WEEE items need degassing at a permitted facility. Expect £30–£45 per fridge or freezer on top of the load price.
Resale and reuse offset
Good furniture, tools and unopened household goods can be passed to reuse partners or valued against the job. On probate clearances this regularly reduces the invoice by £150–£500.
Key takeaways
- Budget £600–£1,200 for a standard three-bedroom Kent house clearance in 2026.
- Volume and access drive the price far more than the number of bedrooms.
- POPs upholstery and fridges carry separate disposal fees that a legitimate carrier cannot avoid.
- Ask for the price to include the waste transfer note — if it does not, the quote is not comparable.
- Saleable contents can be offset against the clearance cost on probate jobs.
