Loft Clearance
Professional Loft Clearance Carried Out Safely and Properly
Ben and Jerry provides a reliable and fully compliant loft clearance service designed to remove unwanted items, stored belongings, and accumulated waste from loft spaces of all sizes. Lofts are often used as long-term storage areas, gradually filling with items that become difficult to access and unsafe to handle without experience.
Clearing a loft can involve working at height, navigating tight access points, and handling heavy or awkward items. Our trained team manages the entire process safely, ensuring all waste is removed by a licensed waste carrier and disposed of responsibly.

What Is Included in a Loft Clearance
Our loft clearance service covers most non-hazardous items commonly stored in loft spaces.
Items Commonly Removed
This includes old furniture, boxes of household items, suitcases, toys, books, clothes, decorations, electrical items, broken appliances, and general rubbish.
Items Requiring Special Consideration
Lofts may contain fragile items, heavy loads, or materials stored for long periods. We assess risks and use appropriate handling methods.
Items We Cannot Remove
For safety and legal reasons, we do not remove asbestos, chemicals, fuel, explosives, or clinical waste unless specifically agreed in advance. If there is any uncertainty, we provide guidance before booking.
How Our Loft Clearance Service Works
We follow a clear and structured process to ensure loft clearance is straightforward and stress-free.
Step 1: Initial Assessment and Quote
You provide details of the loft access, property type, and items to be cleared. Photos are welcome. We provide a clear, upfront quote based on volume and labour.
Step 2: Booking the Clearance
A suitable date and time are agreed. Same-day or next-day loft clearances are often available for urgent situations.
Step 3: Safe Loft Clearance
Our trained team clears the loft carefully, using safe manual handling techniques and protecting stairways, landings, and living spaces.
Step 4: Lawful Disposal and Recycling
All waste is transported by a licensed waste carrier to authorised facilities, with recycling prioritised wherever possible.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees
Our loft clearance pricing is transparent and fair. Costs are based on the volume of waste, ease of access, and labour required.
Quotes typically include loading, transport, recycling, and lawful disposal. We do not add hidden charges for standard loft access or reasonable working conditions. Any changes are discussed before work proceeds.
Why Professional Loft Clearance Is the Better Choice
DIY loft clearance can be risky, involving working at height, carrying heavy items down ladders or stairs, and managing dust and debris. It can also be time-consuming and physically demanding.
Council collections are limited and unsuitable for full loft clearances. Skip hire requires permits, space, and still leaves the loading to you.
Our loft clearance service offers a safer, faster alternative. We complete the job in one visit and ensure compliant disposal.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
Ben and Jerry operates as a licensed waste carrier and complies fully with UK waste regulations.
Property owners and occupiers have a legal Duty of Care to ensure waste is transferred to an authorised carrier. Using our service fulfils this responsibility and reduces the risk of enforcement action.
Recycling-First and Landfill Reduction
Loft clearances often include recyclable materials such as cardboard, metal, wood, and electrical items. We operate a recycling-first approach wherever possible.
Reusable items may be diverted appropriately, while recyclable materials are separated at authorised facilities. This reduces landfill and supports responsible waste management.
Experienced, Insured, and Professional
Ben and Jerry has extensive experience carrying out loft clearances across houses, flats, and managed properties.
Our teams are trained in safe working at height, supported by appropriate insured cover, and work to professional standards. We prioritise safety, care, and clear communication.
Real-World Loft Clearance Scenarios
We regularly clear lofts filled with years of stored belongings, prepare lofts for conversion projects, and assist landlords with clearing inherited or abandoned items.
Each job is planned carefully to suit access conditions, property layout, and customer requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a loft clearance cost?
The cost depends on the size of the loft, volume of waste, and access conditions. We price by load size and labour rather than fixed rates. Quotes are provided upfront and include disposal and recycling, with no hidden fees.
Do you offer same-day loft clearance?
Yes, same-day loft clearance is often available, particularly for urgent situations. Availability depends on location and workload.
Is loft clearance legally compliant?
Yes. Ben and Jerry is a licensed waste carrier and operates in line with UK waste regulations. All waste is taken to authorised facilities under Duty of Care requirements.
What happens to the waste after loft clearance?
Waste is taken to authorised transfer stations where recyclable materials are separated. Our recycling-first approach aims to divert as much waste as possible from landfill.
How is this different from council or skip services?
Council services are limited and slow, while skips require permits and self-loading. Our service is faster, safer, and includes loading, removal, and compliant disposal.
Ben and Jerry provides professional loft clearance that restores usable space, meets legal obligations, and supports responsible waste management.
