Question 1

Do you cover all of Canterbury?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We collect from every CT1 and CT2 and CT3 and CT4 street, including Wincheap, Hales Place, St Dunstans, and reach the town via A2.

Question 2

How much does probate clearance cost in Canterbury?

Accepted Answer

Probate clearance in Canterbury 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 Canterbury City Council's bulky waste collection?

Accepted Answer

Canterbury City Council offers Canterbury City Council runs a booked bulky waste collection priced per item, excluding trade waste., 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 Canterbury?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Canterbury 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 Canterbury?

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 Canterbury as multiple loads.

Question 6

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

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 Canterbury.

Question 7

What is included in the price in Canterbury?

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 Canterbury. 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 Canterbury, and how quickly?

Accepted Answer

Book before 11am and same-day collection is usually available in Canterbury, 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

Can a property be cleared before grant of probate?

Accepted Answer

Contents can usually be dealt with before the grant if the executor instructs it in writing and nothing is disputed, but many solicitors prefer to wait until a valuation is complete. We will always ask who is instructing us and record it on the job file.

Question 10

What happens if you find something valuable?

Accepted Answer

We stop, photograph it in place and contact the executor before it moves. Jewellery, cash, war medals, documents and anything that looks collectable is boxed and left at the property or handed over in person — never taken as part of the load.

Question 11

Do you provide an inventory for the estate accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You receive a written list of what was removed, before-and-after photographs of every room, any offset applied for saleable items, and the waste transfer note. That is the bundle most Kent probate solicitors ask for.
