Do you offer a pre-moving survey before quoting a house removal or moving job?
Yes. We can do this either remotely via video call or in person if you wish. The sign of a professional, experienced and cost-effective house removal man with a van is that they will offer pre-move survey which involves the person visiting your home or video surveying before the removal date to gauge the size and weight of your goods. It is essential so that we know the size and type of van required for the job and whether any extra manpower is likely to be needed. A pre-move survey is more likely to make the move go successfully and smoothly.
Can you clean the property once its been cleared?
We always sweep the property through as a matter of course. However if you want the property to be more thoroughly cleaned, we provide a variety of options, from hovering and wiping down to a full spring clean service.
How much notice do you need?
Usually a week is plenty of notice. However we are here to help if you need to get a job done at very short notice (under 24hrs). So don’t worry if you have an urgent job, we will do everything possible to meet your deadline. Emergency prices may be applied.
Is there anything you can’t clear?
At present no apart from asbestos. However some hazardous materials such as paint, noxious chemicals, solvents and medical waste require additional costs to dispose of which we will happily discuss subject to requirements.
Can you deliver some furniture to storage or friends / family?
Of course we can. We will be delighted to provide you with a competitive quote for a removal / man and van service.
What happens if there is more or less stuff in the house than we estimated?
For a variety of reasons the size of the clearance can be changed right up to the last minute. We understand this and simply adjust the price accordingly. We will check and assess on arrival.
What sort of furniture and effects have a value?
Antiques, art, collectables and high quality designer furniture are the items that have enough resale value to offset against the costs of clearance.
We do make sure good quality second hand furniture finds a home, but it usually doesn’t have much value. We are however very happy to give advice on how to sell secondhand furniture in cases where we think someone else may pay more than we will. We will also help you get it reused by recommending local free-cycle initiatives.
Why can’t you give me an exact price over the phone?
Until we can assess exactly how long the job will take, what if any residual value there is, and what our recycling / disposal costs are going to be we can’t give a precise quote. We give estimates over the phone. Because we have over 5 years experience in pricing up clearance jobs, we are accurate with our estimations 95 % of the time. In the unlikely event the actual quote is increased once we have assessed the job on site, there is no obligation on your part to instruct us to carry out the work.
We ask for a £50 Any deposits are no returnable 7 days prior to any job. We ask for a deposit for the estimated price of the job.

How do you work out the price for a clearance?
There are three factors that influence the cost. 1. The labour required. 2. The cost of disposal and recycling of the items cleared. 3. The resale value of the items to be cleared. Once we have assessed the job we calculate the price. All our prices are fully inclusive of all costs, so there are no hidden extras.
