Most clearances are part of a bigger change. The reason behind the job shapes how it is done, so it helps to tell us which of these fits.
Moving is the easiest time to let go of things. Clearing first means you only pay to move what you want to keep, and the van that does the move is smaller. Do the sorting a week or two ahead so nothing is decided in a rush on the day.
House removals in BournemouthGoing from a house to a flat often means leaving behind a lot of furniture that will not fit. A clearance takes the surplus after you have chosen what goes with you, so the new place is not crowded from the first day.
Flat removals in BournemouthLandlords and letting agents often need a rented property emptied between tenants, including furniture left behind. Tell us whether keys will be collected or someone will meet the crew, and what the property must look like when it is handed back.
Emptying a parent or relative home is a slow job and an emotional one. Family can take keepsakes and papers first, then the rest is cleared. If anything must be set aside, such as documents or photos found in drawers, say so when you ask for a quote.
A clearance should not mean everything goes in a skip. Items are sorted so each one goes to the best place it can.
Across the UK, anyone who carries waste for other people needs a waste carrier registration. A professional clearance firm should hold one, and you can ask to see it before the job. If your waste is fly-tipped by an unregistered carrier, you can be held responsible, so it is worth the question.
Clearance fees depend on how many van loads there are, not how many rooms. A small house packed full can cost more than a larger home that is half empty.

If you are moving and clearing at the same time, it can be quoted as one job. The crew moves what you keep to the new address and clears the rest, so you are not organising two companies, two dates and two parking arrangements.
Use the form to tell us the address, property size, roughly how full it is, and anything heavy or awkward. Photos help if we ask for them.
We reply with a written quote based on what you described. The price is confirmed before you book.
Confirm keys, the floor, lifts and where the van can stop. In restricted streets you may need a council dispensation.
Items are carried out, sorted for reuse, donation, recycling or disposal, and the rooms are left clear.
Two things shape most jobs here: how many homes are flats, and where the van can legally park while it is loaded.
Flats or maisonettes make up 49.1% of dwellings in the Bournemouth area. Clearing a flat means carrying everything down stairs or in a lift, which takes longer than loading from a house with a driveway. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift.

Fees track van loads rather than rooms, so your written quote depends on how much there is to clear and how easy it is to carry out.
Items in good condition should be reused or donated, metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals separated for recycling, and the rest taken to a licensed waste site. If you want particular items to go to charity, mention it when you ask for a quote.
Yes. Across the UK, anyone carrying waste for other people needs a waste carrier registration. A professional clearance firm should hold one, and you can ask to see it before the job. Using an unregistered carrier can leave you responsible if your waste is dumped.
