A professional, eco-friendly house clearance can benefit a range of people. From homeowners and landlords, to hoarders and people dealing with a bereavement, we’re always ready to help.
If you fall into one of these categories or still aren’t sure if you need a house clearance, read on and we’ll explain who can benefit from house clearances.
But first, the basics…
What is a House Clearance?
A house clearance involves removing all unwanted possessions from a property. In most cases this is a floor-to-ceiling emptying of all items and materials in the house, or specific rooms, and includes everything from clothing to large furniture items.
If you only have a few items you want to get rid of, our waste removal service is better suited for you, which is when we collect items and donate or dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way.
We specialise in eco-friendly house clearances. If you’re concerned about where your items will end up, but don’t have the time or ability to take them to the recycling centre, or donate to charity, we give you peace of mind knowing that items have been dealt with correctly and help you keep your carbon footprint small. We do everything we can to keep our emissions to a minimum, often using electric vehicles, taking smarter journeys, and even packing our vans tightly so we don’t need an extra trip. We also recycle and dispose of any items in the most eco-friendly ways that we can.
House Clearances before Moving
These are some of the most common house clearances we do. Helping couples, families, or individuals get rid of unwanted furniture and possessions before they move to a new address.
Moving is a stressful experience, even when you plan months or years in advance. Packing everything you own into boxes and transporting them takes a lot of energy. Then once you are at your new home, you want to spend your time unpacking and doing the million and one things moving in involves. Visiting your old house and spending days or longer getting rid of stuff you no longer want or need; it can be frustrating and time consuming.
We make things much simpler. Once you’ve taken the items you are keeping, call us in and we’ll donate, recycle, and dispose of everything.
The way we work is slightly different to other house clearance companies. Instead of throwing everything in a van and setting off, we sort through your unwanted items to see if anything would be welcomed at a network of charities we work with. Not only is this more sustainable, it gives items you no longer need a new lease of life. It means that our clearances take a little longer, but it’s more than worth it.
With your old home empty and freshly hoovered (which we always do after a house clearance!), you can hand over the keys and start the next chapter of your life.
House Clearances for Landlords
Landlords can also benefit a lot from house clearances. When you purchase a new property and are getting it ready to rent, you may want to empty all existing possessions to start with a blank canvas or offer it as an unfurnished property.
You may also have to organise a clearance after a previous tenant moves and has left some property behind. This may be because you’re selling the property, or you want to clear it out for the next tenant.
If the house or flat has someone due to move in soon, a quick house clearance is essential. Even larger properties rarely take more than a day or two for us to fully clear, and fewer items means a shorter job for us, so you can get straight to work on getting the property ready.
House Clearances for Hoarders
When you think of a professional house clearance, this is the type of job most people imagine. Hoarding is a common problem, and many people fill their homes with things they don’t need without ever realising it. If they finally decide to do something about it, or a loved one steps in to convince them, our service is just what’s needed.
In these cases, we understand that a house clearance can be very upsetting. We take the time to speak with the client, explaining every step of the process so they don’t feel like it’s out of their control.
We also ask that the client isn’t present during our eco-friendly house clearances. This is for a number of reasons. First, safety, we don’t want people to get hurt when we’re carrying around heavy items. Secondly, it allows us to proceed with the work in the most efficient way. We ask that before we start that items that are to be kept are set to one side or clearly marked, and then we take care of everything else.
House Clearances after a Bereavement
If a family member passes away and they left their home to you, a house clearance can be a vital part of the healing process. If seeing their old possessions without the person who used to own them close by is painful or overwhelming, a professional house clearance will take away everything that you don’t want to keep, so that the house can be ready to be sold, moved into, or renovated.
This situation can go hand-in-hand with hoarding, if the deceased individual had built up a substantial amount of stuff, calling us in can be much easier and safer than trying to handle it yourself.
With a house clearance organised by CleverClear, you can focus on the things that matter to you most. We’ll take care of everything.
