When it comes to moving or clearing out a property, it can be tricky to know whether you need a house clearance service or a general removals company. The two may sound similar, but they actually serve quite different purposes. If you’ve recently inherited a property in Gloucester or Cheltenham, or you’re faced with clearing out a loved one’s home, understanding the difference can help you choose the right service for your situation.
A house clearance involves clearing out unwanted items from a property — whether that’s a full house, flat, garage, or even just a few rooms. It’s often used in situations where the property needs to be emptied quickly and efficiently, such as:
House clearance services will typically sort, remove, and dispose of items for you. This may include furniture, white goods, personal belongings, rubbish, and even carpets. At Man with a Van Gloucester, we do all the heavy lifting and make sure everything is handled with care and respect — especially in emotionally difficult circumstances.

A general removals service is focused on transporting belongings from one property to another. Whether you’re moving to a new home or office, a removals company helps you:
Unlike house clearance services, removals companies don’t usually take items to be disposed of. They’re there to move what you want to keep. That’s why it’s so important to figure out what type of service best suits your needs before booking.
If the goal is to clear a property — especially after a loved one has passed away — then a property clearance or house clearance service is likely what you need. It’s designed to be hassle-free and sensitive to the situation, with professionals who can manage everything from sorting and removal to responsible disposal.
If you’re moving from one home to another and want to take everything with you, a removals service is the better fit.
Some people even need a combination of both — for example, keeping certain items and removing the rest. At Man with a Van Gloucester, we’re happy to tailor our service to your unique needs.
