Barking House Clearance and Rubbish Clearance
Chapel and Chapel house clearances are a family run business that covers Barking. We can offer full house clearances as well as free estimates and advise. Whether you have full contents or just a single item we will be able to help and offer a service to suit your individual needs. We are more than just clearance specialists, in fact we offer a range of services including being certified enforcement agents (formerly bailiffs), auctioneers and retailers. This means we have the facilities to store, put to sale or public auction.
We offer a unique house clearing service because our focus is always on asset realisation. We don’t just charge for labour, costs and a bit of profit, we look to value the contents of a house clearance and subtract that from the transportation and any waste cost. This of course means in many cases the house clearance could be free or we could even be paying you rather than the more traditional approach adopted by our competitors. We are able to do this because we are more than just clearance specialist. We are also certified enforcement agents, auctioneers and retailers. This means we have facilities to store, put to sale or auction.
Chapel and Chapel have a wealth of experience in retailing. Much of our stock comes in via our house clearance service. We are based in Essex with a 6000sq ft showroom. We have an on-line store as well and regularly sell through e-bay and Gumtree. We offer a buyback scheme to our customers whereby we loan money on various goods T.V.’s games consoles etc with an option to buy back or extend the option after 28 days. Combined together these two elements of our business give us a realistic insight into the value of items.
Our clearance services in Barking are available to everyone. We offer a straightforward cost effective rubbish clearance service. We clear any amount and any type of rubbish from any location of your choosing. We are a better option than a skip as we are not only often less expensive but far easier and less stressful to arrange. No location is too big or too small for us. We have cleared rubbish anywhere from bedsits to mansions. Whether you have just a single item or a full load(s) we are the best choice for rubbish clearance at the best price.
How much does it cost? Is the question everyone wants to know. We treat every clearance as unique because every clearance is different. We maximise value to minimise cost. Surprisingly however, quite often the clearance is free as many homes have array of saleable items to offset the cost of a clearance. We 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 welcome any pictures to be e-mailed or text to us. We have given some typical examples of costs below.

"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.

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.
