House Clearance Portsmouth

Why use our service for house clearances in Portsmouth?

House clearances are often linked to major life events. Some customers are preparing a property for sale after a bereavement, while others are clearing homes following downsizing, tenancy changes, repossessions, or retirement moves.
Our team regularly carries out house and flat clearances across Portsmouth and the surrounding PO postcode areas, including properties with difficult access, permit parking restrictions, stair access, or limited loading space.

We work with:

✅ Homeowners

✅ Families dealing with probate

✅ Solicitors and estate agents

✅ Landlords and letting agents

✅ Housing associations

✅ Property developers

Because Portsmouth includes many flats, terraced homes and densely built-up residential areas, clearances often require careful planning around parking, access and loading times. Our local teams are used to working around these challenges and can usually advise quickly on the best approach.

Unlike hiring a skip or organising multiple trips to the tip, we handle all lifting, loading and disposal for you. We can clear anything from a single room through to an entire property, including lofts, garages, sheds and outdoor areas where required.

Wherever possible, reusable furniture and household items are separated for donation or recycling rather than being sent to landfill.

Common house clearance situations we help with

Every property clearance is different. Some customers only need bulky furniture removed, while others require complete properties cleared within tight timescales.

We regularly carry out:

✅ Probate and bereavement clearances

✅ Full house and flat clearances

✅ End-of-tenancy clearances

✅ Landlord and repossession clearances

✅ Downsizing and retirement move clearances

✅ Loft, garage and shed clearances

✅ Furniture and white goods removal

✅ Heavily cluttered property clearances

So many of the Portsmouth properties we clear after probate, bereavement, or any other reasons, will involve stairs, restricted parking, narrow access routes or apartment blocks that don’t have lifts. The Zero Waste Group house clearance team is experienced in dealing with these situations – we will always advise in advance if additional arrangements are required.

Who is your trusted team for house clearances in Portsmouth?

Zero Waste Group was established in 2018 when two local clearance companies merged in order to offer wider-reaching and more reliable service across Portsmouth and Hampshire.

The ZWG management team is led by Edward Cain. Ed has worked in the recycling and reuse industry since 2009, and Michael Miller, who established his first clearance company in 2016. Together, they lead a friendly and professional team of house clearance specialists who take pride in doing the job properly.

When you book a house or flat clearance with us, including bereavement and probate clearances in Portsmouth, you can expect a respectful approach, clear communication, and a team that understands these jobs aren’t just “stuff to remove”.

Wherever possible, we’ll donate suitable items for reuse, and we’ll dispose of everything else legally and responsibly – read more about us here.

The Zero Waste Group completes house and flat clearances across Portsmouth every week. Just some of our most recent work has included:

Each and every property is different. Our house and probate clearance quotations are based on the volume of contents, access requirements, parking restrictions and the type of waste involved.

Eco-friendly house and probate clearances

We believe house clearances should be carried out responsibly, not simply as quickly as possible at the lowest possible price. If we see items that can still be used, we prioritise donation and re-use wherever we can. Furniture, kitchenware, books, tools and household items can often be given a second life rather than being thrown away. Materials that cannot be reused are separated for recycling through licensed waste transfer facilities wherever possible.

We currently divert the vast majority of material collected during house clearances away from landfill and continue working towards improving that figure further.

By choosing Zero Waste Group, you are choosing a local Portsmouth clearance company that takes both environmental responsibility and customer care seriously.

Fully licensed & insured

When you book a house or flat clearance, you need to be sure about where the items end up. There are cowboy outfits out there, who will fly tip waste. Zero Waste Group is a fully licensed waste carrier. We only use approved routes for disposal, recycling, and donations of unwanted items.

Once we complete a house clearance, we email a waste transfer note to the client. This is your proof that the waste has been removed legally and passed into the correct system. This gives you the peace of mind that in a potentially stressful time, it’s one less thing to worry about – especially helpful if you’re dealing with an estate, solicitors, landlord, or letting agent.

For additional reassurance, our team and vans are fully insured, including public liability cover. That means you’re protected if anything unexpected happens during the job, whether we’re clearing a house, a flat with tight access, or working around communal areas.

If you wish to check our Waste Carrier License, the number is below.

Protect yourself from rogue traders

Elements that affect the cost of a house clearance in Portsmouth

House clearance costs will vary depending on several factors. These include:

The size of the property
Volume of contents
Access to the property
Stairs or lift restrictions
Parking availability
Type of waste involved
Loading distance
Whether bulky furniture or white goods are included

Some flats and properties are in the densely built-up parts of Portsmouth. This means they can sometimes require additional planning due to permit parking, narrow streets, or restricted loading access.

Customers can send us photographs or videos of the property, allowing us to provide a realistic quotation quickly.
