  • Garden and outdoor clear-outs, including sheds, patio furniture, garden waste and general rubbish

What We Can Take Away, and What We Can't

Most household items can go. These are the things we're asked to clear most:

  • Sofas, armchairs, wardrobes, beds and mattresses
  • Carpets, doors, kitchen and bathroom fittings
  • Clothes, books, toys and general household bits
  • Paper, cardboard, plasterboard and old window frames
  • Glass, metal, plastic and garden waste

For safety and environmental reasons, there are a few things we can't collect: fridges and freezers, TVs, computers and other electrical equipment, asbestos, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, fluorescent tubes, chemicals and paint. Leftover paint can often go to Community Repaint instead of the bin.

How a York House Clearance Works, Step by Step

  1. Get in touch by phone, email or WhatsApp.
  2. Show us what's going with photos or a quick video of each room.
  3. Agree your fixed price before anything is booked.
  4. We arrive, load and clear, then take everything for proper disposal and recycling.

Household waste goes to the Hazel Court recycling centre in York, which we take ourselves.

Clear-Outs Between Tenancies for York Landlords

Landlords and letting agents across York use us when a tenant leaves furniture, mattresses and bags behind. Every day a property sits full is a day it isn't let, so we aim to get in quickly, often the same or next day, and leave the rooms empty and ready for the next viewing.

Estate agents, families handling an estate and people downsizing all book us for the same reason: one phone call, one fixed price, and the property is cleared.

What Customers Say About Moving With 1 Van 1 Man Removals

493+ Google reviews, rated 5.0 out of 5. These are real reviews from customers we have moved in and around York and across the UK.

Found 1van1man after getting some quotes from a few different places and decided to go with this place as the prices were more reasonable and the service was a bit more personal. Had to move from York to Manchester, Dale arrived on time gave me plenty of notice to start getting things outside to be loaded. Took half an hour to load so didn't get charged the full hour compared to some other places online I was looking at. Very happy with the service would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

Very easy to deal with. Reasonably priced and they accepted extra small items, at short notice, with no additional cost. The guys you speak to are the guys doing the move. Locally based (removal between Wigginton and Tadcaster) and very keen to do a good job and get immediate feedback. Turned up on time and took great care with the love, also helping with a small dismantling/reassembly job. Highlight recommended.

These guys were super helpful from start to finish and no job was too big or too small. They managed to manoeuvre everything out of our small York house and through the tiny streets with no issues. They disassembled and reassembled furniture, were really careful with everything and somehow got the whole move done super quickly. Everything arrived at the new place in exactly the same condition. Really respectful, great communication and just genuinely nice guys. Support local and support these guys. Would definitely recommend!

Moving house as a first-time buyer can sometimes be overwhelming. However, with Mike and Dale today, they have made this move such a wonderful, calm and easy experience. They were wonderfully friendly, professional and so considerate of all my belongings. I really appreciate all their hard work and I'm really excited to start living in my new home. Would highly recommend this top-notch moving team. Many Thanks to them Both! Very Happy!! 😄

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from 1 Man 1 Van. From my very first enquiry, everything was handled with ease, professionalism, and clear communication, which made the whole process completely stress-free. A huge thank you to Mike and Dave, who carried out my move from a one-bedroom flat in York to Beverley. They were punctual, friendly, hardworking, and treated all of my belongings with great care and respect. My new driveway was particularly tricky to navigate, but the guys were incredibly patient and handled it with absolute ease. Nothing was too much trouble, and they worked efficiently while making sure everything arrived safely. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend 1 Man 1 Van to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and excellent removal company. Fantastic service from start to finish. A huge thank you again! Jeannette
