Garages and lofts fill up slowly, then all at once become a job nobody wants. Old boxes, broken furniture, paint tins and things you meant to fix. Here are the realistic ways to clear one, and what each really asks of you.

Why lofts and garages take longer than you expect
The job is rarely just the stuff you can see. Boxes are heavier than they look, and the loft hatch means every item has to come down a ladder or stairs.
Garages hide things at the back. Behind the first layer there is often old furniture, paint and half-finished projects.
Sorting takes the most time. Photograph the space and we can price the lot, so you only need to decide what you want to keep.

Clearing a loft or garage safely
Do
- Check a waste carrier is registered with the Environment Agency
- Wear gloves and sturdy shoes if you sort things yourself
- Keep paint, chemicals and gas bottles separate and tell us about them
- Look for charity-worthy items and keep them aside
Don't
- Carry heavy boxes down a loft ladder alone

- Leave sharp or broken items loose in bags
- Hand your waste to anyone who cannot show they are registered
