Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ’s
How Much Will It Cost?
The cost of the house or property clearance service will depend on the volume, nature, and labour involved.
For example, a house clearance job that has a large amount of items that have to be carried a long distance would be more expensive than a small amount of items having to be moved a short distance.

More Information About Our Services
Further Information
Eco Friendly
We aim to recycle up to 90% of all waste we collect. We also endeavour to help out local charities where possible by donating items to them.
Large Fleet Of Vehicles
Because of the size of our vehicles, we can clear most properties in a single day. We run a large fleet to suit any clearance so you can be sure that we’ll have the correct transportation for your house clearance needs. This helps lower costs to you. Larger vehicles means less trips.
Rogue Traders
Rogue traders give the rest of us a bad name. They may be the cheapest companies out there but they don’t dispose of the waste in ways that adhere to the law and could get you in trouble.
We have the following tips for avoiding rogue house clearance companies:
BE WARY OF UNLICENSED TRADERS – it is illegal under The Environmental Protection Act 1990 to employ the services of an unlicensed trader.
You can be fined up to £50,000 or even end up with five years imprisonment for using them. If any items that are fly-tipped or not disposed of legally can be traced back to you, then you can be held equally liable alongside the rogue trader.
Warning Signs To Look Our For
1. Does the person you are speaking to on the phone sound cagey, hesitant, or non confident?
2. Are they promising the earth for very little money?
3. Ask them if they will supply you with an invoice once the house clearance is completed? The invoice should contain all of their business details.
4. Are they asking for cash in hand?
5. Is their website transparent? Do they have a registered office address shown?
6. Do they have any stated reviews, and do the amount of reviews match the number shown on their Google My Business page?
7. Remember, anyone can put together a website in a few hours. Take your time to go over their website thoroughly. Does it feel right to you? Just because they have a website, do not think they are accountable. We’ve heard of many stories whereby people have been duped by professional looking websites that fail to live up to their promises. For legal reasons, we cannot name and shame them, but please be warned. Just because a site is listed on the Google search engine, it does not mean it is either ethical or professional.
8. Remember anyone can write fake reviews. Go with your first instinct – if something doesn’t feel right to you, it probably isn’t.
