House Clearance Rumney
Long-held family homes, garages and gardens cleared across Rumney
Most Rumney jobs start with a loss in the family, a move into care or a downsize, in interwar and post-war homes with lofts, garages, sheds and decent gardens. Lamby Way may be close by, but a full house is far more than a car boot. Send photos of each space and we’ll aim to price it the same day.

Rumney House Clearance
Good-Sized Gardens
Rumney gardens tend to be generous with decent side access, so cuttings and old fencing go straight out to the vehicle.
Decades of Belongings
In a house held for forty years, photographs, letters and documents go to the family before any furniture is moved.
Downsizing Leftovers
When a Rumney household moves somewhere smaller, the furniture that won’t fit can all go in one collection.
House Clearance in Rumney
Rumney, on the eastern side of Cardiff with Newport Road and Wentloog Road running through it, has a settled, established character that comes through in the work we do here. Homes are mostly interwar and post-war semis and terraces, with driveways or on-street parking and reasonable rear gardens. They’re practical to clear and largely free of the access problems you find closer to the centre.
Many Rumney households have lived in the same house for a very long time. So instead of tenancy churn, clearances here usually follow a family bereavement, a move into a care home or a decision to go somewhere smaller, and they tend to involve decades of belongings, in every room plus the loft, garage, shed and garden.
What We Clear in Rumney
Whole-House Clearance
Rumney semis and terraces emptied in full, from the loft down to the garden shed.
After a Bereavement
Long-held family homes cleared with photographs, letters and paperwork kept back for relatives.
Garage Clear-Outs
Garages that haven’t held a car for years emptied, including ahead of a conversion.
Garden Clearance
Rumney’s good-sized gardens cleared of overgrowth, hedging and tired outbuildings.
Shed Removal
Sheds emptied, or taken down and removed completely once they’re past saving.
Hoarded Homes
Hoarded houses cleared without judgement, at a pace that suits the household.
Forty Years in One House
Clearing a home that someone has lived in for four decades is a different task from clearing a rental, and it’s the most common job we do in Rumney. The volume is bigger, it’s spread around the loft, garage and shed as well as the rooms, and much more of it means something to the family. Lofts and garages in particular hold things nobody has opened in years, which is exactly where the surprises, good ones included, usually turn up.
So we go steadily. Photographs, documents and keepsakes are taken out for the family first, and any item that could warrant a valuer’s opinion is photographed and kept to one side so you can decide its fate.
Garages, Sheds and Gardens
A garage, a shed or both comes with most Rumney homes, and after a few decades neither is likely to be doing its original job. Tools, tins of paint, mowers, bikes, spare furniture and boxes pile up quietly until the clear-out feels too big to begin. We take all of it. Paint, oil and chemicals are classed as regulated waste, which means a specialist facility, so flag them when you get in touch.
Gardens here are a decent size and usually have reasonable side access, so overgrowth, hedge cuttings and old fencing go out the side without ever coming through the house.
Moving Into Care or Somewhere Smaller
Not every Rumney job is a full clearance. When someone is downsizing or moving into care, only part of the house needs emptying, and the order of work matters. Walk us through it on the phone or mark items in your photos, whichever is easier for the family.
- Agree on the list of things moving with them
- Keep anything you’re undecided about separate, not cleared
- Clear the rest room by room, loft and garage included
- Work to the moving date, and shift if it changes
Lamby Way on Rumney’s Doorstep: What It Will and Won’t Take
Cardiff Council’s Lamby Way household recycling centre is practically next door to Rumney, which makes it tempting for a clear-out. The rules still apply, though. Every visit must be booked in advance, you have to bring proof of the booking along with something showing your address, and each load is limited to what a car boot holds. A van, or a car with a trailer, is restricted to a single visit per month, and soil or rubble to six 20kg bags.
The council bulky collection stops at six items per booking, from £15 for a pair up to £45 for the full six, plus a £5 booking fee. It refuses garden waste, small electricals, pianos and bikes. A garage packed to the door, or a whole house on a probate deadline, is a job for one private clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions — House Clearance Rumney
Which parts of Rumney do you cover?
All of Rumney, along Newport Road and Wentloog Road and through the streets either side, out to the Llanrumney and St Mellons borders. Call 029 2271 5222, or photograph each room and send the pictures; quotes normally come back the same day.
Can’t I just take everything to Lamby Way myself?
For a few car loads, perhaps. But each visit must be booked, everything has to go in a car boot, and a van or trailer gets one visit a month. Emptying a full Rumney house, garage and shed that way means many separate trips; we do it in one go.
Can you clear a garage nobody’s been into for years?
Yes, it’s one of the jobs we’re asked for most in Rumney. Tools, paint, mowers, bikes and stored furniture all go. Paint, oil and chemicals have to be handled as regulated waste, so tell us roughly what’s there.
How is a Rumney house clearance priced?
Mainly by the number of rooms and how full they are, counting the loft, garage and garden. Most Rumney homes have a driveway or easy parking, which helps keep the time down. Photos of each area are normally enough for a firm, free quote.
Do you check for valuables before clearing?
Yes. If something looks valuable, we photograph it and leave it out of the van. In houses held for decades, lofts and garages throw up more of these finds than families expect, and you decide what happens to each one.
Can you clear only part of the house for a downsize?
Yes, partial clearances are common in Rumney. We agree what’s moving and what’s going, keep anything you’re undecided on separate, and clear the rest, including the loft and garage if needed.
Will you clear the garden and take the shed down?
Yes. Gardens, sheds and outbuildings can be cleared with the house or as a job on their own, and a shed can be emptied or dismantled completely. Rumney gardens usually have decent side access, which speeds things up.
How soon can you come out to Rumney?
Mornings from 7am and evenings until 9pm, all week, and a start date is usually possible within a day or two. Send photos of each room and you’ll get a price and a date back.
