The Problem

Edinburgh Flat Full of Stuff You Need Gone? We Clear It All

Flats in Edinburgh come with their own clearance challenges — narrow stairwells in tenement buildings, restricted parking on busy streets, communal closes that need kept clean during the job, and limited space to stage items before collection.

As Scotland's historic capital city, Edinburgh in City of Edinburgh has a growing need for professional flat clearance services. Whether you're in Leith, Morningside or anywhere across the EH1, EH2 postcode areas, our team provides fast, reliable service with no hidden costs.

Whether it's a furnished flat where a tenant has moved out leaving everything behind, a flat you've inherited that needs emptied before sale, or your own place that's simply accumulated too much stuff — getting it all cleared legally and efficiently takes proper planning.

  • Tenement stairs make DIY clearance exhausting and risky
  • Council uplift won't clear an entire flat — only limited items
  • Skip hire is impractical outside most Edinburgh flats
  • Unlicensed operators risk dumping your items illegally
  • Sorting, carrying and disposing takes days on your own

Our tenant left a two-bed flat in Corstorphine full of furniture and rubbish. Cheaper Than A Skip had it completely cleared in under three hours. Brilliant service and fully SEPA registered — exactly what we needed as landlords.

Had a 2-bed flat in Portobello cleared after my mum passed. The team were respectful, careful on the tenement stairs and had everything done in half a day. Price was exactly what they quoted. Highly recommend.

Local Knowledge

Local Knowledge: Flat Clearance Across Edinburgh

We have cleared enough properties across Edinburgh to know the stock street by street. Edinburgh is tenements from Leith to Gorgie and Marchmont, Georgian townhouses in the New Town, colony flats, bungalows across the outer suburbs, and student housing everywhere south of the Meadows.

The parts of Edinburgh we know best are Newington, student flats and the September turnover; Stockbridge, Georgian flats with basements and no parking; Craigmillar, housing-association voids and regeneration; Leith, tenements and new dockside flats with the fastest tenancy churn in the city.

Edinburgh's recycling centres are Seafield, Sighthill at Bankhead and Craigmillar; they are car-focused and self-unload. City of Edinburgh Council charges per item for special uplifts; see our Edinburgh uplift guide. For a full clearance none of that is practical, which is why the van comes to you and we carry. Our Edinburgh Council Bulky Uplift 2026 — Costs, Wait Times, Tenement Reality has the detail.

On access: Controlled parking zones across the centre, tenement stairs, and the tram works all matter. Mattress and sofa collections are the jobs we do most in Edinburgh.

FAQs

Flat Clearance Edinburgh — Common Questions

Flat clearance in Edinburgh starts from £75 for a studio or small one-bed flat. A two-bed flat typically costs £150 for a half load, and a full three-bed flat clearance is usually £250. You only pay for the van space used. WhatsApp us photos and we'll confirm your price within 60 minutes.

Absolutely. We're very experienced with Edinburgh tenement flats — narrow stairs, tight landings and communal closes. Our team carries everything down carefully, protects common areas and leaves the close clean. No item is too heavy or awkward.

Yes — same day flat clearance is available across Edinburgh in most cases. Contact us before midday for the best availability. We operate across all EH1 postcodes Monday to Sunday from 8:30am.

Yes — fully SEPA registered under Licence WCR/R/3011855. All items from Edinburgh flat clearances are legally disposed of at approved recycling facilities. Using an unlicensed company risks a £5,000 fine for the householder.

Yes — we work with Edinburgh landlords and letting agents every week. We clear everything tenants leave behind, provide Waste Transfer Notes for your records, and leave the flat ready for cleaning or the next tenancy.

For flats with internal access, someone over 18 needs to let us in. Many Edinburgh landlords give us key access or meet us briefly at the start. We send photo confirmation once the flat is fully cleared.

Controlled parking zones across the centre, tenement stairs, and the tram works all matter. Tell us the floor, the parking and anything unusual when you send the photo and we send the right crew.

Edinburgh is tenements from Leith to Gorgie and Marchmont, Georgian townhouses in the New Town, colony flats, bungalows across the outer suburbs, and student housing everywhere south of the Meadows. Each type carries differently, which is why we ask for a photo before we price.

Edinburgh's recycling centres are Seafield, Sighthill at Bankhead and Craigmillar; they are car-focused and self-unload. It is fine for a boot-load; a whole property is many trips and a lot of lifting, which is what we are for.
