House Clearance Melbourne
Downsizing, moving a parent into aged care, selling the family home or clearing an estate. We clear the whole house, room by room, set aside what you are keeping and leave it swept. Fixed price before we start.
Every reason a house needs clearing
Clearing a deceased estate? Our deceased estate clearance page covers working with executors and solicitors. Clearing a rental for the bond? See end of lease clearance.
The whole house, not just the big items
Furniture from every room, beds and wardrobes, whitegoods and appliances, kitchenware, clothing and linen, books, rugs and boxes, plus the garage, the shed, the outdoor furniture and the garden waste. Anything with a plug goes through the e-waste stream, as it must in Victoria.
One crew, one booking and one fixed price for the lot, so you are not juggling a skip, a charity pickup and a second trip to the tip.
Cleared and swept, not cleaned
When we leave, the house is empty and the floors are swept, ready for photos, an inspection or whatever comes next. We are a clearance crew, not cleaners, so if the house needs a proper clean before a sale or handover, book a cleaner for after we finish and we will time the clearance around them.
- Room by room, at your pace
- Keepsakes and paperwork set aside, never assumed to be rubbish
- Floors swept when we finish
- Fixed price before we start
You decide what goes
Walk us through the house, or mark what is staying, and we work around it. Anything that looks personal, like photos, letters or paperwork, is set aside for you rather than assumed to be rubbish.
We clear and take away. We do not deliver items to other addresses, so family members collecting furniture should take it before we come, or leave it set aside and collect it after.
What a house clearance costs
House clearances are priced by how much space the contents take up in the truck, with a fixed price agreed before we start. Our minimum charge is $230 for any job. A full truck load runs $1,165 to $1,325 and up, and a full house with a packed garage or shed can need more than one load.
We quote from photos or a video call, or a quick walkthrough for a bigger house. Full prices for every load size are in our junk removal cost guide.
Interstate, or would rather not be there
Many people prefer not to be at the house while it is cleared, especially when it was a parent's home. We can collect keys from your agent, a neighbour or a family member, work through the house, and send photos when it is done.
Where it all ends up
Anything still usable goes to reuse where possible, e-waste goes through the e-waste stream, and the rest is disposed of properly, not dumped. More on that: e-waste disposal in Melbourne.

House clearance FAQs
How long does a house clearance take?
It depends on how full the house is, and we will tell you when we quote. A packed house with a full garage and shed can need more than one load, and we plan the day around that so nothing is left half done.
Do you clean the house afterwards?
We sweep the floors once the house is empty, but we are not cleaners. If the house needs a full clean before a sale or handover, book a cleaner for after we finish and we will time the clearance around them.
Do I need to be there?
No. Many people prefer not to be. We can collect keys from your agent, a neighbour or a family member, work through the house, and send photos when it is done.
Can you deliver furniture to family members?
No. We clear things and take them away, and we do not move items to other addresses. Have family collect what they are keeping first, or set it aside and we will work around it.
What happens to furniture that is still good?
Anything still usable goes to reuse where possible, e-waste goes through the e-waste stream, and the rest is disposed of properly, not dumped.
Is there anything you cannot take?
We cannot take asbestos. If you think there may be asbestos, or anything hazardous like chemicals or gas bottles, tell us when you book and we will tell you straight what we can and cannot take.
Can you clear the house before it goes on the market?
Yes. We work to the agent or settlement timeline and leave the house empty and swept, ready for photos, open homes or the final inspection.
How much does a house clearance cost?
It is priced by how much space the contents take up in the truck, with a fixed price before we start. Our minimum charge is $230, a full truck load runs $1,165 to $1,325 and up, and a full house with a packed garage or shed can need more than one load.
Send a photo, get a fixed price
Tell us the size of the house and what is going, and add photos of the rooms, the garage and the shed if you can. We will come back with a fixed price, usually the same day. Or just call.
