House Clearance in Ilford
Who are we?
Chapel and Chapel have been established for over 20 years and have the expertise and professionalism you would expect from such an experienced company. We have built up relationships in Ilford with Estate agents, landlords and tenants to provide the best and most unique clearance services offered in our industry.
Why are we the best?
Because the way we work is to maximise any value to minimise any costs. This means we will always give you a better price than anyone else to complete a clearance. We often complete clearances free of charge because of this method and on occasion we pay!
How are we able to do this?
Because we are more than just clearance specialists, in fact we offer a range of services including being certified enforcement agents, auctioneers and retailers. This means we have the facilities to store, put to sale or public auction.
I need my house cleared but it’s all rubbish?
O.k. sometimes there is nothing of value to be cleared and you need the rubbish gone. We’re still confident we are your best option compared to a skip for instance. We are licensed waste carriers and take our responsibility to the environment seriously.
How much do you charge?
How long is a piece of string! We appreciate it can be frustrating to not get an immediate answer (even roughly!) Another reason we are unique is because we treat every clearance as unique to give you the best possible price. Unlike some others we do not turn up with the intent to “bump” the price. We give you a quote and stick to it. We know too that sometimes you’re not sure if something will be kept or cleared there and then. Not a problem for us, because we value items you’ll always know the clearance cost (if any!).
How do you value my clearance?
The best way is for one of our experienced valuers to visit the property you wish to be cleared. We can then take a closer look at any valuable items, the time it will take, larger items to be disassembled and the general amount of labour involved etc. We will give you a quote and discuss a mutually convenient date or any other concerns or requirements you might have. We always welcome any pictures to be e-mailed or text to us, ideally at least one from each room to be cleared and also of the access to the property.
I need a clearance but it’s not a residential property?
No problem! We have undertaken many commercial clearances over the years including cafes, offices and tyre centres to name but a few. In fact commercial clearances usually hold more items of value and as we would treat a commercial in the same way it still means an offset against the overall cost.
I don’t think you’ll clear this?
Try us, you might be surprised! We clear almost anything and everything. We have cleared vehicles, greenhouses, caravans, sheds and much more over the years. We love a challenge no matter how big or awkward to get to, so if you think something can’t be cleared or moved let us know and we’ll find the right solution.
Could you be as discreet as possible?
Absolutely. Our staff are fully trained and highly professional. We appreciate sometimes there are reasons you would like us to be low key. Our staff are courteous and polite but do not divulge any details to the ‘friendly neighbour next door’. We have in the past arranged for plain vehicles to be used when completing a clearance. If you have any concerns then don’t hesitate to tell us.
Can you provide me with paperwork, receipts etc?
Of course. There are times when an auditable paper trail is needed. As we deal with asset realisation and probate valuation we are more than used to providing the relevant paperwork.
It all sounds great, what now?

"The property is left empty and ready for re-sale or re-let"
We can tailor our services to your exact needs. Whether you need just a room or a whole property clearing we can assist you.
Our unique approach makes provision for saleable assets at the property and these are offset against the waste management and logistic costs.
We do House Clearances in Essex and are rather good at it too.
Many people think that a House Clearance is a service that would involve a couple of unsightly gentlemen wearing string vests throwing your prized possessions onto the back of a tipper truck for an astronomical fee and in a lot of cases they would be right. Chapel and Chapel have a different approach. Clearances are undertaken on behalf of Solicitors, Estate Agents, Estate Executors and Private Individuals on a regular basis and our Team are both Polite and Courteous and respectful to the circumstance. The property is left empty, clean & tidy and ready for re-sale or re-let.
We offer a free House Clearance Valuation Service and cover most of Essex so whether it’s a clearance in the Southend, Rayleigh, Billericay or Chelmsford area call us to arrange a valuation. Should your circumstance require the need for a Probate Valuation then we can help you with this too.

I've never had a house clearance before, so did get a few quotes from other places and Chapel & Chapel were really competitive. Turned up when agreed and were really professional and friendly. Really happy with the result. Thankyou Mark Mills16 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Chapel & Chapel to clear my mother's house- after 65 years of ownership. About 95% of the contents were to go. We discussed those things not to be moved before the start of the day. A polite and respectful crew of 4 worked very efficiently. As we are a distance from where C&C are based we provided video footage on each room for them to create a quote. In our case some items could be sold-on by them so that sum was deducted. On the week of the clearance they emailed to confirm, and rang to confirm an ETA on the day. Before departure they hoovered the floors. We did not use the carpet and curtain service. For us the quoted price was the final balance, they ask for payment by bank transfer on the day.

We cannot praise the team at Chapel and Chapel highly enough. Steve and Tom were very friendly and respectful as they cleared our family home. They worked extremely hard and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. The people we spoke to in the office were very helpful as well in making the whole day go as smoothly as possible. I don't hesitate to recommend them. Karen Brook9 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chapel & Chapel recently did some house clearance work for me.

Very easy to work with, completed our house clearance quickly and efficiently. I live abroad, so it was great to see the photos that showed that that they had completed the job as requested. Also very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend Karen Gutberlet11 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Chapel and Chapel to clear my father’s retirement flat ready for sale after he moved to a care home. The service was excellent, a team of two came and took away all the things we wanted to get rid of, saving us countless trips to the tip and removing bulky furniture items which we would have been unable to remove ourselves. We were very happy with the price, particularly because we felt confident that any useful items would be recycled and anything that could not be reused would be disposed of responsibly and not fly-tipped. Sean Bell17 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Review for Chapel & Chapel House Clearance I recently used Chapel & Chapel for a house clearance, and they were excellent from beginning to end. The team was prompt, polite, and incredibly efficient, taking great care with every part of the process. This was a particularly difficult task, as it was my late parents’ house, and the team showed remarkable consideration and empathy throughout. They handled everything with professionalism and genuine compassion, which made a challenging experience much easier to manage. I cannot recommend Chapel & Chapel highly enough — their service was exceptional in every way. Sean B Colin Standfield17 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very quickly and efficiently cleared my late brother's place from 9.45 to about 3.35.
