Garage clearance: what to expect
Garages and sheds tend to collect the things that do not belong anywhere else: old furniture, broken bikes, half-used tins of paint, garden tools, car parts and boxes from the last house move. Clearing them can take a weekend and several trips to the tip, or a couple of hours with us.
We clear garages and sheds across Ipswich, from single garages on terraced streets to double garages and workshops in the villages. We do all the carrying and loading, sort items for reuse and recycling, and leave the space swept and ready to use.
Garages often hide items that cannot go in normal waste, such as old paint, motor oil, car batteries, gas bottles and garden chemicals. We separate these and send them to the right facilities, so you do not have to work out what goes where.
What we clear from garages and sheds
Bikes and sports equipment
Bikes, golf clubs, camping gear and toys, reused where possible.
Furniture and boxes
Items stored after a move and never unpacked.
Scrap metal
Car parts, radiators and old metal, sent for recycling.
Paint and chemicals
Handled as hazardous waste. See paint and chemical disposal.
The shed itself
We can dismantle and remove old sheds. See small demolition.
Before your garage clearance
Sort what you want to keep
Move anything you are keeping to one side, or mark it clearly. We can work around it.
Tell us about hazardous items
Let us know about paint, oil, chemicals, gas bottles or anything that might contain asbestos, such as old roof sheets or a cement-fibre garage panel. Asbestos needs a specialist; see asbestos removal.
Check for value
Old tools, motorbikes and vintage items can be worth selling. We can point out anything that looks valuable.
Make it a garage again
Once it is empty, a garage can be used for parking, storage or a workshop. We can also take away old shelving and workbenches.
