House clearance and man with a van across Nottingham and the NG postcode area
The NG postcode area covers Nottingham and a large part of Nottinghamshire. Alongside the city it includes West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Hucknall and Long Eaton, the former mining towns of Eastwood, Mansfield and Sutton in Ashfield, market towns such as Newark, Southwell and Bingham, and it reaches into Lincolnshire as far as Grantham. A provider based in Beeston may not travel to Newark, so local coverage matters.
Move & Clear matches your job with up to three providers who cover your part of NG. You describe the job once and each provider replies with their own price and availability. You can compare quotes side by side, with no cost to you and no obligation to accept.
Below is how the main services work across Nottingham and the surrounding towns, from house and probate clearance to lofts, garages and gardens.
House clearance and property clearance in Nottingham
Nottingham's homes include long rows of Victorian terraces in Sherwood, Lenton, Radford and Sneinton, interwar semis in Mapperley, Arnold and West Bridgford, and former pit-village houses around Hucknall, Eastwood and Mansfield. The Lace Market has converted warehouses and apartments with lifts and shared stairwells, and the city's soft sandstone means many older properties have cellars and sometimes cave-like storage rooms. Tell providers about cellars and stairs when you ask for quotes.
The Park Estate near the castle is a Victorian villa estate with controlled vehicle access, and some roads have barriers, so tell your provider the address early. Elsewhere, permit zones near the universities and the tram routes can limit where a van can stop, and the council can sometimes arrange a parking suspension for a loading day.
Property clearance is in steady demand from landlords and letting agents, especially in student areas around Lenton, Dunkirk, Beeston and Sneinton. University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University tenancies end in summer, so book early for June, July and September. If you are clearing a tenant's belongings, take advice on the correct legal process first.
Man with a van in Nottingham
A man with a van in Nottingham suits flat and student moves, marketplace collections, deliveries to and from the Lace Market and Hockley's shops, and runs to a recycling centre. Hourly rates are common, and a fixed price works well for a defined job. The M1, A52 and A46 make longer runs to Leicester, Derby, Sheffield and Lincoln straightforward.
The A52 Brian Clough Way, the Ring Road and the Clifton Boulevard approaches can be busy at peak times, so ask the driver whether they can work outside rush hour. Flats and Victorian terraces with steep stairs may need a second person, so say so when you ask for quotes.
If you are taking waste to a recycling centre, check the rules for Nottinghamshire County Council sites or the local city or borough council first, because limits on vans, trailers and proof of address vary. Many drivers are registered waste carriers and can take the load to the right site for you.
Probate and estate clearance in Nottingham
Clearing a family home in Nottingham after a death often involves a house that has been lived in for decades. A good probate team will agree an itemised inventory with you, set aside papers, jewellery, cash and sentimental items, and photograph the contents before anything leaves the property.
Nottingham's lace and textile history, and its long mining and engineering past, mean older homes sometimes hold lace, tools, medals and photographs that matter to a family. Ask providers whether they separate items with resale value for a valuer or local auction house, which can reduce the cost of the clearance. If you live elsewhere, ask the team to send photographs and keep you updated by phone or email.
Work out who has the authority to clear the property before you ask for quotes. If there is a will, the executors it names make the decisions, and with several people involved it is wise to agree in writing what is being cleared and when. Many insurers limit cover on an empty property after around 30 to 60 days, and some councils offer a council tax exemption for homes left empty after a death. This is general guidance only, not legal advice, and a solicitor can help if the estate is complex.
Loft clearance in Nottingham
Lofts in Nottingham's terraces and interwar semis are often full, from old televisions and suitcases to bedding and decorations. Loft clearance takes longer than ground-floor work because everything comes down through the hatch and past a narrow landing.
Teams will ask about the hatch size, whether the loft is boarded and whether there is light. Stay on the boards and never step between bare joists. If you suspect old insulation, sprayed coatings or roof sheets contain asbestos, say so, and a responsible crew will stop and advise rather than carry on.
Garage clearance in Nottingham
Garages in West Bridgford, Arnold, Beeston and the surrounding towns are often used as storage rooms, and many older streets have shared lock-ups at the back. Garage clearance usually involves old furniture, bikes, tools, shelving and paint, solvents and oil that need proper handling.
Paint, aerosols, gas bottles, batteries and tyres are treated differently from ordinary household waste, so list them when you ask for quotes. If access is a narrow back lane, say so, because a large vehicle may not fit. Do not break up asbestos cement roofs or panels yourself.
Garden clearance in Nottingham
Gardens across NG range from small terrace yards to the long plots of West Bridgford and the larger gardens around Southwell and Bingham. Garden clearance covers overgrown borders, hedges, fallen branches, sheds, fencing, greenhouses and green waste, as well as rubbish left behind by tenants.
Allotments and gardens around the Trent and its flood plain can be damp and heavily overgrown. Green waste is usually composted, soil and rubble are charged differently, and Japanese knotweed is controlled waste that needs a specialist. Photos of the garden and the access route help providers quote accurately.

FAQs: clearances and moves in Nottingham
How much does house clearance cost in Nottingham?
Nottingham house clearance prices usually run from around £120 to £270 for a single room to £880 to £2025 for a three or four bedroom home. Access, stairs, parking and the amount of waste all affect the price, so comparing up to three quotes helps.
Do clearance companies cover Mansfield, Newark and Grantham as well as Nottingham?
Many providers cover a wide part of NG, but each sets their own patch. Enter your full postcode on the form and we match you only with providers who work your area.
Can a van get into the Park Estate?
The Park Estate has controlled vehicle access and some roads have barriers. Tell your provider the address when you ask for a quote so they can arrange access in advance.
Is there a lot of cellar and cave storage in Nottingham homes?
Many older properties built on the city's sandstone have cellars, and a few have cave-like rooms. Mention them when you ask for quotes, because the carrying route affects the price.
When is the busiest time for student moves in Nottingham?
Late June to early July and September are the busiest weeks around Lenton, Dunkirk and Beeston. Book a couple of weeks ahead if you can.
What happens to the items taken away?
Reputable teams sort for reuse first, then recycling, and dispose of the rest at licensed sites. Ask for a receipt or waste transfer note so you have a record of where the waste went.
