If you own your own home, house clearance is a service you’ll only need once, twice, or maybe never at all. House clearance services are perfect for when you’re moving out, moving in, or are just overwhelmed by the number of items building up in your spare room or garage.
But if you’re a landlord with multiple properties, house clearances go from ‘every now and then’ to a regular necessity. This can be at the end of a tenancy, upon purchase of a new property, or for your own home.
No matter what you need a house clearance for, we’re here to help.
What is a House Clearance?
A professional house clearance involves removing all unwanted items, including appliances and furniture, from a property, leaving it empty unless asked to leave specific items.
House clearances can be room specific. If you just need your garage clearing, we’ll get that sorted in no time, but for most clients it’s a floor to ceiling clearance that leaves nothing behind.
The house clearance process is very simple. We meet with you to establish what you need and then get straight to work. For most clearances we ask that the owner isn’t present, this helps us concentrate on the job at hand and guarantees your safety, but if you want to be there to keep an eye on things you’re more than welcome.
We specialise in eco-friendly house clearances, which means we do things slightly differently once the property is empty. To be as fuel efficient as possible, we try to load as many of your items as possible into a single van or lorry; this keeps our emissions to a minimum.
Once everything is loaded up, the part of the job that really makes us unique begins.
Environmentally Friendly Item Disposal and Donation
Most house clearance companies will take your unwanted possessions and simply dump them at a landfill. Some will try to recycle, and more are doing so than in the past, but it’s still the bare minimum. If you choose Clever Clear for your house clearance or waste removal, anything that can be recycled, will be recycled. We can guarantee a 100% eco-friendly clearance for some clients, something no other local company can match.
That’s not all we do either. We rehome many of your unwanted items, including furniture, books, toys, and clothing. Since we mostly work locally, we’ve built a strong relationship with the charity shops in our area, keeping them well stocked up with second hand items that otherwise would’ve been thrown away.
If the charity shops are ever full, currently not accepting any more of a certain type of possession, we have on-site storage to keep them in until there’s more room available. Only if we’re maxed out on space, we will take it away, but in that case, it’ll still be recycled and turned into something new.
Rehoming unwanted items gives them a new lease on life. These days many families rely on charity shops for ‘new’ things, and we’re proud to help them out in any way we can, while still doing our job better than ever.
Quick House Clearance for Landlords
For a landlord, house clearances need to be quicker than most. If you’re a homeowner looking to move, the pressure is on to get the property cleared, but it’s often something you can plan well in advance.
When a tenancy is coming to a close, many landlords will be expecting a new tenant to move in soon after. An experienced landlord will organise viewings a month or two before the previous tenant leaves to minimise the time the house or flat is empty. This is great for efficiency, but if a house clearance or waste removal is required the window to sort one is small.
After years of helping out landlords, we understand this. Despite our focus on being eco-friendly, our clearances are faster than most, rarely taking more than a day even for a large property with a lot to clear. We clean up after ourselves too, dusting the empty shelves and giving the floors a quick hoover before we move on. This saves landlords an extra headache, although a deep cleaning is still recommended before your next tenant arrives.
House Clearance for Tenants
Professional house clearances can also be used by tenants, not just their landlords. If you’ve been renting the same property for a while, your possessions will have built up. When it’s finally time to move on, there will be a lot more to move than you realise.
There will also be quite a lot of items you don’t want to keep. We see this a lot with tenants that originally rented an unfurnished property and had to buy their own furniture or bring it from their previous home, but they then move to a furnished property that prevents them from taking beds, sofas, wardrobes, and more with them.
Moving is an expensive business even when you don’t have much. A house clearance from us is affordable and saves you the hassle of selling, donating, or recycling the items yourself, so you can focus on the next chapter of your life without battling with queues at the recycling centre or online buyers.
