House Clearance in Brentwood

Brentwood Borough Council's bulky waste collection is charged per item (£25 for the first and £15 for each additional one at the time of writing), and the items have to be outside by 7:30am.

A whole-house clearance is a different job from a few bulky items, which is where we come in.

A house clearance here can be anything from a flat or terrace to a large house with a garage and outbuildings, so tell us what the property has and how many rooms need emptying.

Some customers need the whole house emptied, down to bare floors. Others need a single room, a loft, a shed or a garage cleared, or only the large items removed.

We do both. A partial clearance is a normal job, and we price it for what it is.

You do not need to do much, but a little preparation makes the day smoother and keeps the price down. Decide what you want to keep and set it aside in one room or mark it clearly.

Check cupboards, pockets, drawers and the loft for papers, photographs, jewellery and anything of sentimental or financial value before we start, because we work quickly once we begin.

Let us know about keys, alarm codes, parking and any neighbours or managing agents who need notice.

• Set aside anything you want to keep
• Check drawers, cupboards and the loft for valuables and paperwork
• Tell us about stairs, lifts and narrow access
• Arrange parking or permits near the property if needed
• Send photos of every room and the garage or loft

Clearances sometimes uncover things of real value: furniture, jewellery, collectables or important documents. We will not remove what you ask us to leave, and if you are unsure about the value of an item, it is worth getting it assessed before we collect it.

For paperwork containing personal or financial information, shred or keep it yourself; we can take the shredded waste away. If you are acting for someone else, such as an executor or a letting agent, tell us who needs to approve the work and we will confirm the scope in writing before we start.
