Downsizing · Clear-outs · Poole & Bournemouth

Moving somewhere smaller? We'll help you decide what comes with you.

We sort the house, loft and garage with you, room by room. Keepers go to the new place, anything of value comes off the price, and usable things go to local charities.

At your pace. Nothing goes without your say.

Everything gets sorted, not just dumped

A lifetime of belongings deserves more than a skip. We go through it with you, item by item, and only the last pile goes to the tip.

  1. Keep

    Anything you want to keep. We can take it home, or to your new place, in the same van.

  2. Sell

    Items with value. We can knock it off your disposal rate, or in some cases buy it outright.

  3. Charity

    Usable things go to local charities instead of the tip.

  4. Recycle

    Metal, electricals, cardboard and timber, separated for recycling.

  5. Tip

    Only what's genuinely rubbish, to licensed sites.

How a downsizing clear-out works

  1. 1

    Send photos

    A few photos of each room, loft and garage. Family can send them for you. We reply with a price before anything moves.

  2. 2

    We sort room by room

    At your pace. Everything goes on one of the five piles, and nothing leaves without your say.

  3. 3

    Family can follow along

    If family live away, we can WhatsApp them photos of anything that needs a decision.

  4. Settled in the new place

    What you're keeping can go to your new home on the same job, and the old house is left clear.

Every room, loft and garage

  • Lofts

    Decades of boxes, sorted properly, not just binned.

  • Garages and sheds

    Tools, bikes and everything that ended up out there.

  • Spare rooms

    Furniture that won't fit in the new place.

  • The whole house

    Room by room, when everything has to go.

Why people call TipRun

Straight answers to the things people worry about before they book.

  • Instant call back

    Enquire and we call you straight back. No forms that vanish, no waiting days.

  • Same day when we have space

    Need it today? Ask us, and we will tell you straight away if we can fit it in.

  • Price before we load

    You get the price first and approve it. If the job is bigger than the photo, we tell you before we start.

  • We do all the lifting

    Upstairs, down the garden, out of the loft. You point, we carry.

  • Licensed and insured

    Licensed waste carrier, fully insured. Your waste goes to licensed sites, receipts on request.

  • Easy to pay

    Card or bank transfer. No deposit until the price is agreed.

  • Friendly local team

    You talk to the people who turn up, not a call centre. Based in Poole and Bournemouth.

  • Tipper and large panel van

    Heavy rubble, bulky furniture, awkward access. The right vehicle for the job.

Common questions

Can family arrange it if they live away?

Yes. Family can send the photos, agree the price and follow along by WhatsApp. We send photos of anything that needs a decision.

Do we have to decide everything on the day?

No. Anything you're unsure about can go on the keep pile for now. Nothing leaves without your say.

Can you move the things we're keeping?

Yes. With a full downsizing move, we take what you're keeping to your new home on the same job.

What happens to good furniture?

Pieces with value are set aside. We can knock them off your price, or in some cases buy them outright. Usable furniture that won't sell can go to local charities.

What if it's a probate or estate clearance?

TipRun is part of the Heritage family. If an estate needs formal independent valuations, our sister service Heritage & Heir can handle that side.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. TipRun is a licensed waste carrier and fully insured.

Ready to make the move easier?

Send a few photos and we'll price the clear-out. Family can message for you.

Rather talk it through?

Leave your number and postcode. We will ring you to talk through the move.

No payment needed — we'll only use this to call you back about your TipRun quote.
