What thoughts spin around in your mind when faced sudden house clearances? Anxiety, stress, embarrassment, grief, elation, sadness, anger. These are just a few of what people are faced with due to the circumstances they might suddenly find themselves in.

Bereavement: –This can be a sudden loss or a long awaited one but on either of these occasions you could be left with the whole house to clear as it needs to be sold or passed back to the housing agency. On some occasions you may not be able to face going back into the property or even live nearby.

Divorce:–This may result in you having to sell the property and possibly downsizing or you are left with the belongings of a spouse who no longer wants them or is willing to dispose of them themselves.

Landlords:– You may have had to evict a tenant or they have abandoned the property without your knowledge and you are now left with a house to clear before you re-let it. Or you are a company dealing with students and now have to clear many apartments in one go.

Solicitors:–You may be dealing with a property where probate is involved but it has to be cleared ready for sale to raise funds.

Homeowners:–On many occasions this can be someone moving abroad, simply downsizing or know a member of the family who has either sadly had to go into a care home or suffering from depression and got themselves into a bit of a quandary.

Estate Agents: – You may have been contracted to sell a house that is still furnished or been faced with a fly tipping incident.

If you can relate to any of the above, then you know you have to start somewhere! So the first port of call is to contact us. We do not judge anyone or their circumstances.

How will a third lockdown affect our rubbish collections service?

In May I wrote a blog explaining how we were adapting our rubbish collections service to meet the government’s guidelines regarding the pandemic. Wishfully, the blog started “With the UK hopefully past the peak of Covid-19”. If only that had been true. 

Eight months on and entering our third national lockdown, we feel this is a suitable time to issue a second statement on the situation.

In short, we are continuing to operate as we have been doing. The past 8 months have been a huge learning curve and we have changed the way in which we work. We can now confidently say we are working in such a way that reduces the risk to our staff and our customers to an absolute minimum.

Most significantly, we have reduced contact with customers. This ranges from no longer shaking customers’ hands and reduced handling of money, to providing completely contactless house clearances. Whereby we can collect keys, provide pictures on completion and take payment over the phone.

Furthermore, where contact is not unavoidable, we are socially distancing from customers and only entering premises where it is absolutely necessary. 

Our teams also have access to sanitizer so we can ensure no contamination on card machines, invoices or receipts. 

Pick up the phone

We feel it is important to keep an open line of communication with our customers. If you have any questions whatsoever do not hesitate to pick up the phone. We will always be happy to answer your questions and put your mind at ease. 

 

Looking forward 

We are only on our third day of work in 2021 and we have already started with a bang. We would like to say a huge thank you and wish a Happy New Year to our loyal customers who continue to use us. Also to new customers using our services for the first time, we hope to see you again. Your feedback means the world to us and confirms the whole team is achieving the high level of service we aim to provide. 

I would also like to thank each member of staff for their hard work in the past year. Our team range from 20 years of service to 5 months, and across the board everyone has stepped up to the mark to give each of our customers the quality of service we strive for. As we continue to grow and our workforce expands it is of the upmost importance we maintain this quality. So far we are confident this has been achieved.

Congratulations to new starters Brad and Tom. Both have exceeded expectations across the board and also passed their HGV tests in December on their first try. Subsequently, they can now drive our 7.5-ton trucks. 

Our sights are set high for 2021. Over the next 12 months, we are looking forward to solidifying our position as the number one Rubbish Removal and Property Clearance solution across the whole of the North West, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire.

Really impressive service. Emailed on Saturday, everything gone and cleaned up by Monday morning. Friendly and efficient. Can’t fault them. Would definitely call them again.

We would also like wish everyone a Happy 2021 where times will be a lot brighter and heathier.

 

With the implications of COVID-19 and the ripple effect from the lockdown spreading across all industries of the economy. One thing we have particularly noticed is a huge increase in the cases of local fly-tipping across the region.

It’s no secret that our industry provides a place for local fly-tipping crooks and conmen to operate without a licence.

This is nothing new. However, a combination of more people being at home, generating more waste and local recycling facilities closing to the public for a number of weeks, has created a platform for these opportunists to cash in.

We see countless piles of waste dumped on country lanes, piles of fridges and mattresses dumped on wasteland and renovation waste tipped in laybys.

The clean up following this kind of tipping spree is profound and has huge financial implications at an already difficult time for the victims. Furthermore, it is your responsibillity to check where your waste ends up, and if you do not, you are liable to huge fines.

Our advice on this matter is to be VERY careful when choosing a rubbish removal or property clearance firm. If they do not openly display their waste carriers license on their website, this should raise alarm bells straight away.

Any reputable company carrying the required license will be very happy to show you a copy of their licence. If you are still unsure check the business out at:

Local Fly-Tipping Clearance, Greater Manchester.

Here is an example of a mountain of fly-tipped waste we cleared for a landowner in Manchester post lockdown. The site was hidden by trees and unfortunately had access to the rear of the field. This attracted fly-tipping on a commercial scale with 10+ van loads of waste tipped since the issue was reported.

In these circumstances it is always important we act fast to remove the waste as quickly as possible. We had 4  teams work hard to clear the site over a 2 day period. We then dispose of all waste at an industry-leading waste transfer station and upwards of 90% diverts from landfill. As it should have been in the first place!

Established for over 20 years, we have developed a passion for the ethical disposal of all types of waste. We are a family run business and we ensure a professional & reliable service from the first phone call to the sweep up at the end.
