Taking Care
We are aware that a house clearance is often required in difficult circumstances, such as bereavement, and we pride ourselves on our expertise in carrying out our services with care, discretion, in a dignified way and with as little disruption as possible.
In particular, we will always:
Take great care not to damage communal hallways, entrances, garden paths, gates and fences.
Ensure that confidential documents, photographs, valuables etc, if discovered during a house clearance, are brought to the attention of the executors & relatives.
Ensure that staff are bound by a confidentiality agreement which prevents them from disclosing any details of the house clearance, to any third party.
Compliance with statutory requirements and good practice
We are fully licensed by the Department of the Environment as waste carriers, and are insured against all third party risks. We carry out the disposal of all kinds of waste resulting from house clearance in a manner which complies in every way with environmental standards, good practice, and the relevant law.
Caring for the environment
We take great care to ensure that our operations have minimal environmental impact. We do this be taking responsibility for the goods we handle during a property clearance. We have three methods of disposal:
Re-use: We do our utmost to ensure that as much as possible of the material we handle as a result of a house clearance is re-used. Re-use is more environmentally friendly than recycling, because there is no processing of any type involved. We donate items of furniture to charities and non profit organizations, which means that they are fully utilized.
Recycling: Where re-use is not possible, we arrange for recyclable materials to be processed by local authorities. This includes paper, glass, plastic and metals.
Responsible disposal: Only the residue of non reusable material is disposed of using local refuse amenities. At present, we either re-use or recycle 90% everything we handle.
