What it costs
As a UK guide, a single room or studio costs £300 to £500, a part-full two or three bed place £500 to £900, and a full three or four bed house £900 to £1,500. A hoarded or very large home can pass £3,000. This guide explains what moves the price.
Where council help stops
Newcastle City Council will collect household items, but it prices each one: a sofa or mattress is £10, a corner sofa or three-piece suite £40, a bath or shed £70. Clear a four-bed house that way and the bill runs to many items, each needing to be booked. The council also says items from a trade may not be collected. At the tips you must be a Newcastle resident, arrive in a car or van, and send any van to Brunswick on a permit. Each rule slows a full clear-out.
Choosing a firm
- Ask for a waste carrier registration number and look it up on the Environment Agency register
- Ask what the price covers: stairs, parking and sweeping up
- Keep the waste transfer note. Newcastle fines fly-tippers, as set out in fly-tipping in Newcastle
