Clearance Service Tree Planting Project

As a family run business with young children we understand that in the provisions of our service we are contributing to the adverse effects on our climate.  We have therefore embarked up a project to completely offset our carbon footprint and of the goods we collect and dispose.

This is an ongoing project where we are constantly looking at not only making our services more environmental friendly, but also the day to day running of our business and our services.  To get us started we planted 100 tress with the Woodlands Trust.

We will plant 100 trees for every TONNE of waste that we reluctantly send to landfill.

Environment Agency Standards & Legal Compliance

​For over a decade, we have maintained a standard of excellence that satisfies both legal executors and environmental regulators.

  • ​Licensed Waste Disposal: As a fully registered waste carrier, every hoarded house clearance is conducted in strict accordance with Environment Agency guidelines.
  • ​Comprehensive Audit Trail: We provide full documentation, including Waste Transfer Notes, ensuring that every professional instructor—from solicitors to environmental health officers—has a clear record of legal compliance.
  • ​Ethical Recycling: We are committed to diverting waste from landfills by partnering with local recycling centers and charities, ensuring a sustainable outcome for every project.

The “Expert Eye” for Probate Valuation & Asset Recovery

​Even in the most challenged properties, we act as a safeguard for the estate’s financial interests.

  • ​Uncovering Hidden Assets: Our 20-year history of identifying value—including our discovery of 20 gold sovereigns—ensuring that nothing of value is lost in a hoarded house clearance.
  • ​Accurate Probate Valuation: We provide HMRC-compliant probate valuation reports (Section 160), giving solicitors and executors a precise account of the property’s contents.
  • ​Document Recovery: We meticulously search for and protect legal papers, financial records, and sentimental items, ensuring they are returned safely to the relevant authorities or family members.

Restoring Properties to a “Sale-Ready” State

​Our goal is the total transformation of the property to maximize its value or utility.

  • ​The Final Sweep: After the hoarded house clearance is complete, we perform a deep vacuum and sweep, ensuring the property is in the best possible condition for estate agents or housing inspectors.
  • ​Discreet Operations: We work with absolute professionalism, using clean, unmarked vehicles where necessary to protect the privacy of the client and the community.
