FAQs

After you contact the team to book a House Clearance, we will arrange to view your property and give you a free, no-obligation quote.

If you’re happy with the quote and decide to go ahead with the House Clearance, we’ll find a time and date for the team to visit your property and conduct the clearance.

Once the job has been completed, you’ll be emailed an invoice for payment.

Just as homes differ from person to person, our quotes are unique to every clearance. Our initial visit allows us to understand your needs, what items you’ll be donating, and get a sense of the space we’ll be operating in.

After our initial visit to your property (which is free) we will send you a no-obligation quote that includes VAT. Our quotes are cost-only, so we do not charge deposits, premiums or commissions. On completion of the House Clearance, you’ll be emailed an invoice with all payment options listed.

We currently run House Clearances on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, generally starting from 8.30am.

Every job is different. Our experienced House Clearance Manager will chat with you about the time your House Clearance will take during the ‘quote stage’ of the process.

We offer a full clearance service, removing furniture, electrical items, clothes and more. Items we can remove that people often don’t know about include:

  • Curtains
  • Carpets
  • Cookers (MUST be correctly disconnected from the gas supply and unplugged)
  • Washing machines (MUST be disconnected from the water supply and unplugged)

Our team will also empty spaces within your property, such as:

  • Garages
  • Sheds
  • Outhouses
  • Lofts (Please note, the loft MUST be boarded, have lighting and a ladder)

We’ll provide boxes and bags on the day to ensure all items are packed safely and securely, and are treated with the respect they deserve.

You can find a comprehensive list of items we can or cannot accept as donations here.

All suitable items from your House Clearance will be sold in our charity shops or via our e-commerce platforms such as eBay. All the money raised from selling your items will help us provide care and comfort to our patients and their families.

We’re committed to sending as little as possible to landfill sites, so wherever possible, any items that we cannot sell in our shops will be recycled.
