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 decking removal bristol actually looks like.

Softwood decking has a working life of about 10–15 years in the British climate. Once boards go soft, screws pop, and algae makes it a skating rink every winter, it’s time for it to go. I rip up boards, cut joists and bearers, and take posts out where they’re only sunk into postcrete rather than poured concrete footings. All goes as mixed timber and metal waste. Pricing’s by volume: a typical 10–15m² deck is a 6-yard load (£290); a bigger L-shape can hit 8 yards (£370). No VAT, no call-out.

Boards, joists, and the screws

Decking boards come up with a pry bar once the screws are out (or cut with a multi-tool if they’re stripped). Joists and bearers on top of a concrete base lift away cleanly; joists sat on brick piers usually come up with the bricks still attached, which scraps as hardcore. Screws get collected with a magnet so they’re not a pancake-flat disaster for bare feet next summer.

Posts and concrete

Corner and handrail posts are the unpredictable bit. Postcrete-set posts rock free with a bar; concrete-footed posts usually snap off at ground level and the concrete footing either stays (for a new deck to sit on) or comes out with a breaker if you want the lawn back. I’ll flag which situation we’ve got on arrival.

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.
