How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the cellar and basement clearance at your Ingleton address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Ingleton. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected cellar and basement clearance from Ingleton is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Cellar & Basement Clearance starts from £180. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
What we do and do not take
Non-hazardous material only. Old pipe lagging, tank insulation and textured coatings in pre-2000 basements may contain asbestos — those need a licensed survey before anybody disturbs them, including us.
All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Cellar & Basement Clearance FAQs
Can you clear a cellar with no lighting in Ingleton?
Yes, we bring our own lighting. What we do need is a safe staircase — we will not carry loads up steps that are actively failing.
What if there is asbestos lagging on the pipes?
We stop and tell you. Pipe lagging is one of the most dangerous asbestos types and needs a licensed contractor, not a clearance crew.
Is below-ground clearance priced differently?
It reflects the carry. A cellar load takes far longer to bring up than the same volume in a garage, and we price that honestly rather than hiding it.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at Ingleton properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Ingleton vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your cellar and basement clearance is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Ingleton collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the cellar and basement clearance is accessible from outside at the Ingleton property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.

Moving as well as clearing in Ingleton?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Ingleton, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
