Garage clearances
Most Chester garages are not garages. They are storage rooms with a big door. In Hoole and the Garden Quarter, many were built as coal stores or workshops attached to Victorian terraces — small, timber-framed, and reached through a rear yard rather than a driveway. Clearing one takes patience, not heavy machinery.
We clear the whole thing: tools, workbenches, shelving, paint tins, oils, broken garden machinery, bicycles, tyres, old furniture, timber offcuts, and whatever has accumulated since the last time anyone could park a car in there. Everything is sorted on site — recyclable metal and timber to licensed facilities, hazardous waste declared and handled separately, and anything of clear resale value offset against the cost.
Access is planned in advance. If the garage sits behind a terraced house with no vehicle access, we park on the street, carry everything through, and protect floors and doorframes as we go. We bring the right van for the job.
Single garage: one to three hours. Double or detached outbuilding: three to five hours. Confirmed on the quote.

Sheds fill up quietly. A paint tin here, a broken spade there, four bags of something that seemed important in 2019. Five years later the door no longer closes. We clear the lot — garden tools, timber, shelving, plant pots, paint, chemicals, old bikes, and any stored items.
Sheds are usually booked on their own, or together with a garage or garden clearance. We remove the contents, sweep the floor, and leave the structure ready to use or dismantle. Timber and metal are sorted for recycling. Small quantities of paint and garden chemicals are handled through licensed facilities for a small surcharge.
If the shed itself needs removing — old timber, storm damage, rotten floor — we can do that too. Tell us when you book.
Garden clearances
Garden clearances cover everything that has accumulated outdoors: green waste, old fencing, broken pots, outdoor furniture, play equipment the kids have outgrown, and general garden clutter. Common jobs in Chester include clearing an overgrown back garden before a sale, removing fencing after a storm, and tidying a rental property between tenants.
We handle green waste, timber, metal, and general garden rubbish. We do not do tree surgery, stump grinding, or major landscaping — those need a specialist with different equipment, and we would rather tell you upfront than quote for something we cannot do properly.
What we do cover: strimming back overgrowth, removing fencing, clearing beds and borders, hauling away green waste, and disposing of garden furniture and equipment.
General rubbish removal
Not everything fits a category. House-move leftovers, mixed waste from a clear-out, small business waste, a one-off pile in the corner of a yard, or the aftermath of a fly-tipping incident on a rural lane. We take mixed loads and sort them at the depot.
Common jobs: clearing a rental property after a bad tenant, hauling away packaging and offcuts from a small business, removing waste after a DIY project, and clearing fly-tipped waste from private land in the villages around Chester.
Pricing is by van load: quarter, half, three-quarter, or full. You tell us roughly what is there, we quote accordingly, and if the load turns out lighter than expected the price comes down. We do not pad volumes to bump the bill.

Same-day and next-day clearances
Garage, shed, garden, and rubbish jobs are usually urgent. A house sale is going through, a tenant has left, a garden has become a problem, or the garage door has stopped closing. We keep slots open every day for same-day jobs, and next-day bookings are always available.
To book same-day: call before midday. We will confirm by phone within the hour and be with you the same afternoon, subject to availability. After midday we can usually do next-morning.
What it costs in Chester
Typical ranges below. Every job is quoted individually after a free call or photo, and the figure we quote is the figure you pay.
| Job type | Typical range | Time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Single garage | £120 – £250 | 1–3 hours |
| Double garage | £200 – £400 | 3–5 hours |
| Detached outbuilding | £250 – £500 | 4–6 hours |
| Shed (standard) | £80 – £180 | 1–2 hours |
| Garden clearance (small) | £150 – £350 | 2–4 hours |
| Garden clearance (large) | £350 – £700+ | Half day+ |
| General rubbish (¼ van) | £80 – £120 | Under 1 hour |
| General rubbish (full van) | £250 – £400 | 1–2 hours |
What pushes the price up: hazardous items (paint, tyres, fridges), heavy scrap such as cast iron or concrete, restricted access, and jobs that need more than one van load.
What can bring the price down: resalable tools or equipment offset against the cost, clean single-material loads (all metal, all green waste), and jobs booked with a couple of days' notice.
What happens to your stuff
Everything is sorted into four streams. Resalable or donatable items go to local Chester charities or are sold, with the value offset against your bill when we agree it upfront. Recyclable materials — metal, timber, green waste, cardboard — go to licensed recycling facilities. Hazardous items are handled through licensed hazardous waste contractors. Anything left over goes to a licensed waste transfer station.
You receive waste transfer documentation on request. That matters if you are a landlord, an estate agent, or a business, because it proves the waste was handled legally.
Working around Chester's awkward spaces
Chester is not a city of wide driveways. Many garages in Hoole and the Garden Quarter sit behind Victorian terraces with rear-yard-only access. Detached outbuildings on the Green Belt near Frodsham and Kelsall are often reached by gravel tracks that a large van cannot manage. Terraced streets near the walls have restricted parking and heritage considerations.
We plan for all of this. Small van for tight access, hand-carry for anything the van cannot reach, floor protection for interior routes, and a named contact on the day so you know when we arrive and when we leave.

Garage, shed and garden questions
How much does garage clearance cost in Chester?
Single garages typically run £120–£250, doubles £200–£400, detached outbuildings £250–£500. Send a photo and we will quote a fixed price the same day. Hazardous items and tyres are quoted separately.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, subject to availability. Call before midday for a same-afternoon slot. Next-day is always available.
Can you clear a shed as well as a garage?
Yes. Sheds are booked on their own or together with a garage or garden clearance. Contents, shelving, timber, and old paint removed.
Do you do garden clearances?
Yes — green waste, fencing, furniture, play equipment, overgrowth. We do not do tree surgery, stump grinding, or major landscaping.
Do you take tyres and old paint tins?
Yes, with a small surcharge. Must be declared before collection. Disposed of through licensed hazardous waste facilities.
What about asbestos in the garage roof?
We do not remove asbestos. If the roof is asbestos cement, a licensed asbestos contractor must remove it first. We can recommend Chester-area specialists.
Can you clear a garage with no vehicle access?
Yes. Many Chester garages are rear-yard-only. We carry everything by hand and protect floors and doorways.
Do you buy tools or equipment found in the garage?
Sometimes. Anything of clear resale value — good tools, vintage items, ride-on mowers — we agree a figure with you before anything leaves the property.
How quickly can you clear a garage?
Single garage: 1–3 hours. Double or detached: 3–5 hours. Confirmed on the quote.
Do you cover Frodsham, Kelsall and Tarporley?
Yes. Chester, Hoole, Garden Quarter, Handbridge, Frodsham, Helsby, Kelsall, Tarporley, Tattenhall, Malpas, Ellesmere Port, Wrexham, and the villages in between.
