Amount & type of contents
A lightly furnished home and a heavily filled property are very different jobs, even with the same number of bedrooms.
The most useful price is one based on your property and its contents. Here’s what helps Joe assess the job—and what to agree before booking.
A lightly furnished home and a heavily filled property are very different jobs, even with the same number of bedrooms.
Stairs, narrow doors, parking and long carrying distances affect how the team can work.
Large appliances, upholstered items, heavy materials and anything needing separate handling should be identified when quoting.
Lofts, cellars, garages, sheds and outdoor areas need including if you want them cleared.
Local and nationwide jobs are assessed around the work, travel and practical arrangements required.
Where items have resale value, an agreed offset may reduce the clearance cost. Not every item will have a resale market.
When comparing quotes, check that each one covers the same contents, rooms, access and waste-removal work.
Confirm the items to remove, anything to retain, the proposed timing and the total price. Ask about any appliances or materials that need separate handling, and explain if the property will change between quoting and the clearance.
Cleaning, repairs and strip-out work should be discussed separately and included explicitly if required. A contents clearance should not be assumed to include renovation work.
Show each room, the storage spaces and the route out. Add a short description of the job and your preferred dates.
For a large or complicated clearance, a visit may be the best way to agree an accurate scope. If you are arranging a bereavement clearance or managing the property remotely, mention that too so we can discuss suitable arrangements.
Tell us the property postcode, what needs doing and your timescale. We’ll discuss the next step, whether that’s a quote from photos or a visit.
