Garages are one of the hardest spaces to clear — decades of accumulated tools, old vehicles, chemicals, building materials and general workshop equipment. A professional clearance handles items that can't go in a skip or a car boot run.
What we clear from garages and outbuildings
- Hand tools, power tools, old machinery
- Garden equipment — lawnmowers, strimmers, pressure washers
- Old bikes, motorbike parts, car parts
- Tyres — specialist disposal, we advise
- Old paint, solvents and oils — subject to hazardous waste rules, we guide you
- Cardboard, packaging and general rubbish
- Shelving, workbenches, cabinets
- Old electrical items and white goods
Items that need specialist handling
Some garage contents — asbestos insulation boards, solvents, motor oils and tyres — have specific legal disposal requirements. We'll identify any such items during the quote visit and advise on the correct route. We do not handle asbestos removal directly, but can recommend licensed specialists.
How garage clearance works
- Phone or photo quote — describe the garage size and approximate contents
- Fixed price confirmed before we arrive
- Team arrives, clears and sorts everything
- Reusable tools and equipment offered to local charities and reuse hubs where suitable
- Remaining items processed for maximum eco-friendly disposal
- Waste Transfer Note issued
How much does garage clearance cost in Dorset?
A standard single garage is typically £100–£250. A double garage or large workshop with heavy contents is usually £200–£500. Unusual items or specialist disposal may add to this — always quoted upfront. For wider pricing context see our house clearance costs guide.
We also clear
Gardens are commonly cleared at the same visit — see our garden clearance guide. A full house clearance frequently includes the garage as standard, and one-off loads are covered by our rubbish clearance service.
