Compassionate, eco-conscious clearance across Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Our cashback scheme offsets the resale value of your items against the quote, sometimes making the clearance free.
These are the worries families bring us. We take them off your shoulders.
Sorting through a loved one's belongings after a bereavement is one of the hardest jobs a family can face.
Heavy furniture, awkward lofts, three floors of belongings, that's back-breaking labour you shouldn't have to do alone.
Waste transfer fees are rising, and it feels wrong to throw away things that could still be used or sold.
Probate deadlines, house sales, or a new tenant moving in, you rarely have the luxury of taking your time.
Full house clearances, probate work, offices, lofts, gardens, and the awkward one-off items in between. All under one Licensed Waste Carrier.
Discreet, compassionate clearance of a deceased loved one's home, working sensitively with families, executors and solicitors.
Swift, compliant clearance of offices, shops and commercial premises, including furniture and electronic waste.
Fast, licensed rubbish and waste collection with same and next-day availability and a curbside discount.
Clearance of lofts, attics, cellars and basements, handling awkward access and heavy lifting safely.
Fully certified disposal of white goods, fridges, freezers and electronic waste in line with WEEE regulations.
Coln Clearances is family-run, based in Cheltenham, and every clearance is arranged by Ian personally. Below is what makes us different from a skip firm or a generic waste-removal van.
We use years of auction experience to value furniture, antiques and collectibles in your clearance, and subtract that value from your quote. Some clearances end up completely free. Read how the cashback scheme works in plain English.
A guaranteed 90% recycling rate, 100% mattress-component diversion from landfill, and usable goods routed to local charity on request. All under our Licensed Waste Carrier permit. See exactly what happens to your items after we collect them.
Uniformed and respectful. We check every room for wills, cash, photographs and keepsakes before anything is removed. For probate clearances, we can send photos to family who live away.
Free on-site visit or a quote from your photos. The price stays the same on the day. Save more with our curbside discount when items are moved to the roadside.
Most clearances are booked and completed within 24 to 48 hours.
Call, email or send us photos of the property. We'll reply the same day with next steps.
Ian visits in person (or reviews your photos) and gives you a fixed, per-job price. No obligation.
Anything of resale value is offset from your quote using our auction experience. Sometimes the offset covers everything.
We arrive on time, work discreetly, and leave the property tidy. 90% of what we take is recycled or reused.
Send us photos, or ask Ian to visit. Both are free, and there's no pressure to book.
"We needed to clear my parents house and I got in touch with Coln Clearances via their web site to set up a quote. The communication from Ian was great. On the day of the clearance he arrived promptly with his colleague and they did a great job of clearing the property. Thank you very much!!"
"A most excellent, professional, supportive and considerate service from Ian at Coln Clearances. Just the kind of service and support we needed when clearing my Father's house for the landlord following his death. Living almost 250 miles away this was the kind of supportive service we needed. I cannot recommend this company highly enough."
"This company is amazing, Ian is extremely professional he came and viewed the property gave me a very reasonable quote considering the property had 3 floors to clear. He and his colleague arrived on time as promised and they never stopped all day. By the time they left, the house and basement cellar were completely clear."
