Why no single price fits every property

House clearances vary by number of items, weight, labour, floors, parking and materials needing special treatment. A single chair is different from several rooms of bulky furniture.

The information that helps a quote

Provide clear photos from each room, the full postcode, stair or lift details and a list of unusual or heavy items. If the property needs a staged clearance, say which rooms should be tackled first.

What a written quote should include

Ask for the agreed scope, loading and transport, lawful disposal arrangements, exclusions and any charges for extra items. Compare the total service rather than just the headline price.

Avoid surprise charges

Remove valuables and items to keep before collection. Confirm whether dismantling, mattresses, electrical appliances and hazardous materials are included or excluded.
