Are you a licensed waste carrier?

Yes. We hold a UK waste carrier licence (CBDU445737), so any rubbish, house clearance or office clearance we take away is transported and disposed of at a licensed facility.

How do I get a quote?

Fill in the quote form on this page with a few details about your job, or call us on 0117 379 0306. We’ll come back to you with a price for your Bristol removal or clearance.

What’s the difference between rubbish clearance and house clearance?

Rubbish clearance is usually a single type of waste — garden waste, a shed full of rubble, a bulk bag of builder’s offcuts. House clearance is a larger, mixed job: sorting and removing the contents of a whole room, flat or property, typical for end-of-tenancy, probate or downsizing.

Do you do house clearances in Bath?

Yes — we cover house clearances across Bath, Bristol, Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater and most of the South West. The quote takes the collection postcode and disposal journey into account.

Can I book a single-item move?

Yes. A lot of our removals work is single items and part loads — sofas, beds, fridges, garden furniture — as well as full house moves.

About this service

What charity shop drop off bristol actually looks like.

A lot of good furniture gets binned because people can’t move it to a charity. A sofa in a 2nd-floor flat doesn’t go in a car, and charity shops won’t always arrange collection themselves. I handle the middle bit: you book the piece in with the charity (they need to see a photo and check fire-safety labels on upholstery first), then book me to drive it over. £75/hr one-man, £110/hr two-man. No VAT. Most Bristol drops take an hour.

How it works

Step one: ring or email the charity with a photo and get it agreed — they’ll confirm fire labels, condition and a drop-off window. Step two: book me with the pickup address, the charity address, and the agreed drop window. Step three: I turn up, load, drive, hand over, get the donation receipt if the charity issues one, and drop that receipt to you.

What charities usually accept

Sofas, armchairs and upholstered furniture — only with compliant fire labels still attached. Wooden furniture — most pieces, condition-dependent. Beds and mattresses — some charities yes, some no, always check first. White goods — rarely, unless they have a specific reuse scheme. I’ll help gauge what’s likely acceptable if you’re unsure, but the charity has the final say.

About us

Checkatrade — 9.8/10 · 164 Reviews

Bristol Local Van Man — removals and clearance in Bristol.

Bristol Local Van Man is run by Nigel, a Nailsea-based owner-operator with 15+ years in removals and clearance across Bristol, Bath and the wider South West. We handle removals, rubbish clearance, house clearance and office clearance under one roof.

Most jobs are done by Nigel direct. Busy weeks and larger jobs bring in trusted local drivers Nigel has worked with for years — every one carries the same waste-carrier paperwork and works to the same fixed-price standard.

Waste is carried away under our UK registered waste carrier licence (CBDU445737), so items taken off your property go to a licensed facility rather than a side street.

Whether you’re moving a one-bed flat in central Bristol, clearing a probate property in Bath, or stripping out an office in Weston-super-Mare, get a price up front before anything is loaded.
