Very pleased with the clearance of my mother’s chalet which was completed by Luke. All works done in excellent time and good quote, property left as expected. Would definitely recommend Luke and Wight Waste.

Carmel WarrenGoogle

Wight Waste & House Clearance Services have just completed clearing my late mother's house. We were feeling overwhelmed when we started the clearing ourselves and that's when I looked for a house clearing company.

Thank you Wight Waste for your excellent service yesterday collecting my Dad's old bath, toilet and washbasin. Your team arrived on time they were efficient and charged a very fair price. I can definitely recommend this company. Thank you Luke.

Anne MacDonaldGoogle

Leaving a house after 22 years was really sad but Luke made the whole process as near to stress free as possible as well as being really kind and thoughtful about how tough it is to let go of lots of memories. Would 100% recommend, really hard working, punctual but most of all really great people!

Tamsin KingswellGoogle

Great service, carried out a full house and garage clearance after our parents bereavement. Knowing that any items that could be given to charity would find a new home made a difficult process much easier. They where very kind, respectful, punctual, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.

Mark HannamGoogle · 11 months ago

I cannot thank and praise this company enough. I was asking a lot to completely clear a flat warts and all and they did it in a fast and efficient way. They were a pleasure to do business with. Price was good for such a task, I would highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed.

Rachel TierneyGoogle

Fantastic service from Luke and his team - cannot fault the service one bit. Booked to clear a two bed house (and tricky to access loft), for a house move, from top to bottom. Efficient, courteous, friendly and hard-working. Very professional and the place was left spotless. I would have no hesitation in recommending Luke and Wight Waste.

Lisa GalliersGoogle

Luke and Genie did a great job of house clearance for us - communication was good right from the start, service reliable and professional, and they ensured everything was left tidy. I’d recommend these guys.

Andrew LambourneGoogle

Excellent service for good price. House clearance performed on large bits of furniture from a 1st floor flat on very hot day!! Good communication throughout booking process and when at property cleared in remarkably quick time. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. Thanks for your prompt attention and a great job.

Luke at Wight Waste and House Clearance Services has undertaken a couple of house clearances for me in the last twelve months. He's approachable, punctual, helpful and fairly priced. I've been very happy with his service. It is a pleasure to leave this review and to highly recommend him to others.

Very happy with the service provided, they left the house looking far better than I would've imagined and are clearly very conscientious. I would use Wight Waste again if I were in the same situation again.
