Eco-Friendly House Clearance for Families
The more people that live together in a home, the more ‘stuff’ you end up with. If you have kids, your house will quickly fill with toys, games, clothes, on top of everything the adults own too. This is usually fine, until it’s time to have a clear out.
If a member of your family is moving out, or you’re all going, getting rid of everything you no longer need can take weeks. If you’re also trying to organise a move, this is time you don’t have to spare.
We specialise in eco-friendly house clearance in Manchester, removing all of your unwanted items in an efficient manner and then disposing of them in a way that has minimal impact on the environment. It’s a weight off your mind in more ways than one!
When do Families need House Clearance?
There are a number of reasons why a family, of any size, may need a professional house clearance.
The first is relatively simple – as kids grow older, they grow out of a lot of their possessions. This isn’t just clothes, but toys and even furniture items too. You might be able to hand down bits and pieces to their siblings or your friends’ kids, but it’s also easy to pack them away in your garage, attic, or spare room and forget about them.
However, you only forget about them until the day comes that you open the door and almost get flattened by a landslide of bin bags full of clothes and soft toys. If that room is a write-off, call in the professionals to clear it out for you instead of wasting your free time driving to charity shops and the landfill when you’d rather be doing anything else.
If there’s only a few bags to get rid of, we can still help! Our waste removal Manchester team will collect anything and take it away. But none of it will end up going to waste.
For many of our clients, we guarantee a 100% sustainable clearance. How, you ask? Well everything that can be recycled, will be recycled. We also rehome as many items as possible, with a long list of charity shops that we know will love to help your old items find a new home. On the rare occasion that something can’t be recycled, we take it to the landfill in the most economical way possible, using our electric vehicles and always taking the shortest route.
House Clearance before a Move
If it’s time to move out of your old family home, there will be a lot you won’t be able to take with you, and even more that you won’t need at the new address. This is especially important if you’re downsizing and won’t have the same storage space you’re used to.
So once you’ve boxed up everything ready to move, but there’s still a lot left, leave it to us to handle the rest for you. We can clear out everything you leave behind, including furniture, so you can focus on the next chapter of your life.
Furniture is especially difficult to get rid of on your own. A few bags of clothes can be dropped off at a charity shop in a day, but few will accept sofas, dining tables, beds, and cupboards. You might not be able to fit them in your car; it’s a backbreaking job even if you can! If you go to all that effort and are rejected, that’s a lot of time and energy wasted.
Our large lorries and strong backs make us much more equipped for the job, it’s what we do best! We’ll take away any item of furniture, no matter the size or condition. We pack our vehicles carefully so we can maximise the space available – extra journeys damage our carbon footprint, so we try to do it all in one whenever possible.
House Clearance after a Death in the Family
Sadly, not every reason for a house clearance is a positive one. If a family member passes away, and it falls on you to clear out their home, it’s a difficult time for all involved.
A full house clearance is a much bigger job than just emptying a room or garage. If you’re also grieving at the same time, a tough challenge becomes even tougher. You may be under a lot of pressure to get it cleared quickly too, if the property has to be returned to the landlord or your local council so it can be listed again.
However much time you have, we’re the ones to call to help make it as easy as it can be. We take extra care when clearing out a house during a bereavement. You may approve of removing everything, but you’re still attached to the person who owned them, and it may be difficult to see their things be taken away. When this is the case we work closely with you, guiding you through the process with extra care, and giving you plenty of control over what stays and what goes.
What helps during this process is knowing that all items will be rehomed or recycled. Even if you’re not particularly worried about your environmental impact, it’s a nice thought knowing that nothing is going to be thrown away unnecessarily.
Our house clearances are quick and efficient, but never reckless. We’ll ensure that there is no damage to the property at any point and that everything is removed safely.
Supporting your Family with Eco-Friendly House Clearances
You might need a house clearance for a wide variety of reasons, but these reasons are more common when you have a large family. As time goes on your kids grow up and move out, but their old possessions don’t disappear with them. Or if you are going through a divorce, or there is an unfortunate death in the family, you need to organise a professional house clearance.
Whatever the reason, it’s important to do things properly. If you choose a house clearance specialist like us that cares about the environment, while also providing exceptional service, your clearance will be high quality and you’ll be able to move out or move on when the time is right.
