From £200

House Clearance in Edinburgh

A house clearance in Edinburgh is often part of something bigger: a bereavement, a move into care, a sale or a tenancy ending. JunkSphere clears whole properties or single rooms, sets aside anything personal you ask us to keep, and leaves the place swept and ready for whatever comes next.

House Clearance in Edinburgh, from £200. We'll call you back with a fixed price.

House Clearance across Edinburgh and Lothian

Prices for house clearance in Edinburgh start from £200 for a single room, and every quote is fixed before we start. Crews work seven days a week across Lothian, with same-day slots most days and evening appointments on request.

Our Edinburgh crews cover every EH postcode district, from Leith and Morningside to Stockbridge, Portobello and Bruntsfield. We're also in Marchmont, Corstorphine and Newington most weeks, and we travel out across the wider Lothian area for the same prices. Whether it's a terrace, a new-build estate, a tower block or a business unit, we've done house clearance jobs there before.

An alternative to council collections

Bulky waste collections from the City of Edinburgh Council can be a good option for one or two items, but they usually need everything left outside, can take weeks to book and won't take mixed loads. JunkSphere is the faster alternative: we carry items out from inside, take mixed loads in one visit, and can often come the same day.

Fill in the quote form with your name, phone number, job type and preferred date. Photos help, but a rough description of your house clearance job in Edinburgh is enough to start.
Get a fixed price
We call you back with a clear price, usually within the hour during working times. Prices start from £200 and include labour, transport and disposal.
We arrive and do the work
A uniformed crew arrives in your chosen two-hour window, confirms the price, and gets on with it. We clear the property, carrying everything from wherever it is.
Responsible disposal

Why choose JunkSphere in Edinburgh

Fixed prices, agreed before we start

We don't do vague estimates. You get a clear price for house clearance in Edinburgh, starting at £200, with labour, loading, transport and disposal all included. Our crews confirm the price on arrival before they lift anything, and if the job turns out smaller than you thought, the price comes down. It's the same approach whether you're clearing one item or a whole property.

Same-day and next-day slots

Our vans run daily rounds across Edinburgh, which means we can often fit you in the same day you call, and next-day slots are nearly always available. You choose a two-hour arrival window and the crew calls ahead so you're not stuck waiting in. Evening and weekend bookings are available for people who can't take time off work.

Licensed, insured and accountable

JunkSphere is a registered waste carrier, and every load we collect in Edinburgh goes to licensed facilities regulated by SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency). We carry public liability insurance, and we provide waste transfer notes on request so you have proof your waste was disposed of legally. That matters, because if waste you hand over ends up fly-tipped, you can be held responsible.

Reuse and recycling before landfill

We sort what we collect rather than tipping it all in one place. Usable furniture and household goods are offered to charities and reuse projects around Edinburgh, then metal, wood, cardboard, green waste and electricals are separated at licensed recycling sites. Only what genuinely can't be reused or recycled goes for disposal.

Crews who know Edinburgh

Local knowledge saves time and money. The crews covering Edinburgh know the parking restrictions, the awkward access points and the nearest licensed sites, which keeps jobs quick and prices low. They'll protect floors and doorframes, work carefully around your home and leave the space swept and clear.

House Clearance in every part of Edinburgh

Access in Edinburgh varies from street to street. Some roads need a parking permit, some flats have no lift, and some gardens can only be reached through the house. Tell us about stairs, lifts, parking and long carries on the quote form, and we'll send the right size crew so the job doesn't overrun.

Licensed disposal in Edinburgh

Everything we collect in Edinburgh goes to licensed waste transfer and recycling sites. We're a registered waste carrier working under rules set by SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency), and we follow the duty-of-care requirements that apply to waste in Scotland. If an unlicensed collector fly-tips your waste, the City of Edinburgh Council can hold you responsible, so always check a carrier's registration before you book. You can ask us for ours at any time.

House Clearance in Edinburgh: your questions answered

How long does a house clearance take?

Most flats take half a day and most three-bedroom houses take one full day with a three-person crew. Very full or hoarded properties can take two or three days, and we'll tell you the timescale when we quote.

Do I need to be there on the day?

No. Many clients hand over a key or use a key safe, especially for probate clearances. We send photos when the job is finished so you can see the property is empty.

What happens to items with value?

We'll point out anything that looks valuable and set it aside for you. If you'd like, reusable furniture and household goods go to local charities rather than waste.

Can you clear a property for probate?

Yes. We work with executors, solicitors and families, keep documents and personal papers separate, and can supply paperwork showing where the waste went.

Do you clean the property after clearing it?

Every clearance finishes with a sweep-through. If you need a deep clean for sale or re-letting, mention it on the form and we'll quote for it too.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. Clearances start at £200 for a single room and we give a fixed price after seeing photos or visiting, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.

Do you cover all of Edinburgh?

Yes. We cover every EH postcode district in Edinburgh, including Leith, Morningside, Stockbridge, Portobello and Bruntsfield, plus the surrounding parts of Lothian. There's no extra charge for travelling within the area.

How quickly can you do house clearance in Edinburgh?

Same-day slots are often available in Edinburgh if you book in the morning, and next-day slots almost always are. We give you a two-hour arrival window and call ahead.

Are you licensed to carry waste in Edinburgh?

Yes. JunkSphere is a registered waste carrier and uses licensed sites regulated by SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency). We can provide a waste transfer note for any job.

Do you cover towns near Edinburgh?

We do. Our crews regularly work in Dunfermline, Stirling, Perth and the towns in between, as well as across Lothian. Use the quote form and we'll confirm availability for your postcode.
