Question 1

Do you cover all of Lydd?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We collect from every TN29 street, including Lydd town, Lydd-on-Sea, Dungeness, and reach the town via A259.

Question 2

How much does house clearance cost in Lydd?

Accepted Answer

House clearance in Lydd starts at £600. The final price is fixed before we load and depends on volume and access — a quarter van load is £140, a half load £210, three-quarters £290 and a full 12-cubic-yard load £400, all inclusive of labour and disposal.

Question 3

Is this cheaper than Folkestone & Hythe District Council's bulky waste collection?

Accepted Answer

Folkestone & Hythe District Council offers Folkestone & Hythe District Council provides a chargeable bulky waste collection service., which is cheaper per item but requires you to move everything to the kerbside and wait for the scheduled date. We collect from inside the property, usually same or next day, and provide a waste transfer note.

Question 4

Will I get proof of legal disposal in Lydd?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Lydd collection comes with a waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours, showing our upper-tier carrier registration, the waste description and the permitted site that received the load.

Question 5

What load sizes and prices do you offer in Lydd?

Accepted Answer

Four fixed van-load bands, all inclusive of labour, transport and licensed disposal: a quarter load is 3 cubic yards at £140, a half load 6 cubic yards at £210, a three-quarter load 9 cubic yards at £290 and a full load 12 cubic yards at £400 — roughly the volume of a 6-yard skip. Smaller single items start at £70 and we price larger clearances in Lydd as multiple loads.

Question 6

How do I work out which van load size I need in Lydd?

Accepted Answer

Count in bin bags and bulky items. Roughly 30 bin bags fill a 3-cubic-yard quarter load (£140), 60 bags a 6-cubic-yard half load (£210), 90 bags a 9-cubic-yard three-quarter load (£290) and 120 bags a 12-cubic-yard full load (£400), which is about the volume of a 6-yard skip or eight 240-litre wheelie bins. A three-piece suite or a small bedroom clear-out is usually a quarter to half load. Send photos and we size it for you before we travel to Lydd.

Question 7

What is included in the price in Lydd?

Accepted Answer

Every load price — £140 for 3 cubic yards, £210 for 6, £290 for 9 and £400 for a full 12-cubic-yard load — includes a two-person crew who carry everything out, all loading and lifting from anywhere in the property or garden, transport, transfer-station gate fees, a sweep-up afterwards and your waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours. There are no fuel, congestion, stair or weekend surcharges in Lydd. Only weight-based waste such as soil, rubble and concrete, and specialist items like fridges (£70) and commercial fridges (£120), are priced separately.

Question 8

When can you collect in Lydd, and how quickly?

Accepted Answer

Book before 11am and same-day collection is usually available in Lydd, otherwise next working day including Saturdays, with a two-hour arrival window and a call when the crew is en route. We collect Monday to Friday 7am–7pm, Saturday 7am–5pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. Load size does not change availability — a 3-cubic-yard quarter load and a 12-cubic-yard full load are booked on the same slots, and larger clearances are scheduled as consecutive loads on the same day.

Question 9

How long does a house clearance take?

Accepted Answer

A one or two-bedroom property is usually a single day with a two-person crew. Three and four-bedroom houses with full lofts and garages run to two days. Hoarded properties are quoted by the day because progress depends on what we find in each room.

Question 10

Do you buy items of value?

Accepted Answer

We offset. Where there is genuinely saleable furniture, tools or collectables we reduce the clearance price rather than paying cash, and we itemise the offset on the quote so executors can show it in the estate accounts.

Question 11

Can you clear a probate property before grant of probate?

Accepted Answer

Only with written instruction from the executor or the solicitor acting. We photograph the property before and after and provide an inventory of removed items, which is what most Kent probate solicitors ask for.
