As well as many years of experience with house clearances, our owner Shaun Quinton, has spent 25 years in customer service and relationship management so when it comes to helping customers with their needs with a friendly, efficient and professional manner, he comes with a wealth of experience which resonates across the whole company.
Our expert clearance team handles house and office clearances, including sheds, garages, gardens and carpets. When using us you will receive our amazing service at a price that is highly competitive compared to other removal companies.
We believe in making clearances completely stress-free, once you hire us you can trust that we will arrive on time with smiles on our faces, and we will complete the job quickly but respectfully.
When we clear a property we do everything for you, you don't need to bag or box anything or even take it out of cupboard and drawers. As part of our clearance services, we empty and clear all storage cupboards, bag up any loose items and remove all unwanted rubbish from anywhere in the home including emptying lofts, garages & cluttered sheds. Our clearance team do all the loading and when the house is clear we will leave the property tidy.
We take the pain out of the process. When you contact us, we will provide a 6-step process.
Our system for dealing with a clearance is built on simplicity, efficiency and low effort for our customers.
Affordability is also very important to us. Other options are not always the most cost-effective ways to remove everything from a property, so speak to us today to find out what we can do for you. We regularly have promotional offers on, so keep your eye out for them.
It’s important for us to mention the items you want to keep, and paperwork with confidential information on them. With every job, we expect customers to want to keep some keepsakes or items. If they're not staying in the property, we recommend taking them before we start the clearance or clearly marking them as “do not take” because when we come, we remove absolutely everything. We will of course discuss this with you when we meet you.
We are highly likely to come across documents with names and addresses, bank details or personal information on them or prescription medicines. Rest assured, anything we take with personal data on it will be destroyed so that identities and confidential information are fully protected. We are DBS checked and certified for your peace of mind.
Contact us today to find out how we can help you with your house clearance, in Ipswich, Felixstowe, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester or anywhere else in Suffolk and north Essex.
There is no set value to what a house clearance costs because every clearance is different. There’s a number of factors we take into account such as:
Size of the job
How much labour is involved and how many people are required to complete the clearance. A single item collection will have minimal labour so will cost a fraction of the price of a 3 bed house, with a shed and garage clearance.
How much of the clearance is made up of waste
Waste is a term we use for items that have no other option than to be disposed of. A general misconception is that we simply take things to the local tip, so they are disposed of for free, that’s not the case. As a business we have to pay to dispose of waste regardless of where we dispose of it as it is classed as trade waste. As an example, to dispose of a fridge freezer, it can cost up to £85. Waste is always the largest cost incurred in a clearance.
Where the clearance is
The further away a clearance is, the more travel costs it will incur. We are based in Ipswich, therefore an Ipswich house clearance will not incur any mileage costs whereas a clearance in Clacton On Sea would incur travel costs.
If there are valuables or high value items
Day to day items such as appliances and furniture will not be purchased, however if we believe they hold some value we don't charge to remove them. As an example of this, we do not charge for washing machines because we can always find a home for them regardless of their quality. For antique (auction) items and vehicles, we complete checks on their value with relevant sources and if the items are deemed to have large value we will agree a value with you and deduct that cost from the clearance price. If an item goes to auction and receives a huge return, we will be back in contact with you and share the proceeds with you (minus our costs).
We have many services that we offer. For a part clearance, single item collection or rubbish removal we will simply take away the items requested. For a full house clearance, we agree anything that is to remain in the property and we then remove everything else. The only things we leave are any items that we are told to leave, or household fixtures such as kitchen cupboards, light fittings etc. We will leave carpets but if we are asked to remove them we will happily do so. There isn't really anything that we won't remove with only one exception, asbestos items, as these require specialist removal. We package any loose items and bag any rubbish and we take everything away in our vans. Our main house clearance van is the largest Luton van on the market, customers are always surprised by how much we can fit in it. For large house clearances we may complete 1-3 runs in a day.
