Things to consider when booking a property clearance.
For your information:
Throughout the United Kingdom there are a number of good quality, professional property clearance companies. There are many many more unscrupulous people purporting to be the same but are definitely not.
It's very easy to set up a website, get a van and clear a property. These people will promise all sorts of magical things which just aren't true. Example 100% of the clearance is recycled. This is not possible.
How would they recycle a foamed back carpet or a badly stained or damaged memory foam mattress, the list goes on. Some will state that the cost is VAT free. I would have serious reservations about any so called 'company' that is not VAT registered. Some of these people will offer to clear a property at a price that is much lower than the other quotes you have.
We charge by the Luton van load and the costs involved are considerable. Let me explain the costs, Health & safety means we always send at least
two employees, we have the running costs of the vehicle, administration costs and the most expensive costs WASTE DISPOSAL.
A typical Luton van load of waste will cost between £150 and £250 to dispose of. If you would like to do the maths you can clearly see that
it is not possible to clear a property legally for a few hundred pounds.
So how do they do it ?
Illegal incineration and the new epidemic sweeping the UK fly tipping.
Please remember that if you want to clear your property responsibly and without hassle then choose a main stream company.
If you are offered a clearance at a price that seems too good to be true beware !
