Finding the right house clearance service can make all the difference when clearing a property. Whether you need to empty a home after a bereavement, prepare a property for sale, or simply declutter, choosing a reliable and professional service is essential. At House Clearance Scotland & Northern England, we ensure a smooth, hassle-free process. Here’s what to consider when selecting a house clearance company.
1. Check Their Experience and Reputation
A well-established house clearance company with experience in handling all types of properties is essential. Look for a company that has a solid reputation, positive reviews, and a proven track record.
At House Clearance Scotland & Northern England, we specialize in clearing all types of properties efficiently and respectfully. Our team has extensive experience in dealing with full house clearances, deceased estates, and properties in need of deep cleaning.
2. Understand Their Services
Not all house clearance companies offer the same level of service. Some may only remove large furniture, while others will clear everything, including food from cupboards, carpets, and white goods. Make sure the company you choose provides the exact service you need.
We offer a complete clearance service, removing everything you request, disconnecting standard white goods, and uplifting carpets if required. If you can’t be present, we can collect keys from estate agents, solicitors, or neighbors and return them once the job is complete.
3. Ensure Transparent Pricing
A professional house clearance service should provide fixed, upfront pricing with no hidden charges. Some companies charge by the van load, which can quickly become expensive if additional trips are needed.
Our pricing covers staff wages, fuel, and recycling center fees, with a clear policy on additional loads. If a second van load is required, it costs 50% of the original fee, ensuring complete transparency.
4. Consider Their Recycling and Disposal Practices
A responsible house clearance company will dispose of items ethically, recycling and donating where possible. Many rogue companies dump waste illegally, which could leave you liable for fines.
We ensure that all recyclable materials are taken to licensed recycling centers and donate usable items to charity whenever possible. We never resort to illegal fly-tipping.
5. Look for a Fast and Efficient Service
If you’re on a tight schedule, finding a company that offers quick turnaround times is crucial. Some companies take multiple days to clear a property, which can be inconvenient if you need to hand over the keys.
We typically complete a full three-bedroom house clearance in 3-4 hours, and we only require 48 hours’ notice to schedule the job. If additional van loads are needed, we complete them on the same day.
6. Check If They Offer Key Collection
If you’re unable to be at the property, choose a company that offers key collection and return services. This is especially useful if you live far away or are handling a house clearance on behalf of a family member.
We can collect keys from solicitors, estate agents, or neighbors, allowing you to manage the clearance remotely without any hassle.
