Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.

Clearing a property in Hyndburn often presents logistical challenges, particularly with the dense stone-built terraces and narrow back streets common to the area. Unlike a DIY approach, which requires hiring skips that may not fit in narrow alleyways, we offer a seamless solution.
Compassionate Service: We employ trained bereavement pros and hoarding specialists who understand that this is more than just rubbish removal. Work is carried out at your pace, handling sensitive situations with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
We Handle Everything: We don’t just clear the main rooms. We tackle the difficult areas too, including lofts, cellars, garages and dilapidated sheds. If a room is full of clutter, we clear it, sweep it and leave it ready for the market.
Asset Management: We don’t just throw everything away. Instead, our team looks out for personal items, photographs and valuables, setting them aside to return to you.
Key Holder Service: If you do not live in Hyndburn, you don’t need to travel. We can collect keys from local estate agents or solicitors, carry out the work and send you video updates upon completion.

We provide a comprehensive clearance service that covers every inch of the property:
Full Contents: Sofas, wardrobes, beds, mattresses, carpets, curtains, kitchenware, and ornaments.
“Hidden” Areas: We empty lofts, clear damp cellars and sweep out garages.
Exterior: We dismantle rotten sheds, clear overgrown garden waste and remove debris from yards.
We have refined our process over 20 years to ensure it is simple, transparent as well as respectful of your property.
1. Assessment: Contact us for a free on-site quotation or provide a video walk-through via WhatsApp on 07802 860 731. We provide a fixed price with no hidden extras.
2. The Clear: Our uniformed, professional team arrives in a specific window. After that, we work systematically room-by-room, carefully manoeuvring furniture to protect walls and door frames.
3. The Clean: Once the items are removed, we sweep the property ensuring it is “Vacant & Broom Clean,” ready for sale or letting.
4. Ethics: We segregate items for reuse. Where possible, furniture and household goods are donated to local charities, while the remainder is taken to a licensed recycling centre for processing.
Our pricing is transparent and based on the volume of waste we remove. You only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air.
Single Item: Prices start from £80+vat. Ideal for removing a specific large item like a piano or a wardrobe left behind.
Quarter Van Load: Roughly 20-30 bin bags. Perfect for clearing a box room or a small cellar.
Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable to a standard builders’ skip but without the permit fees or the need to load it yourself.
Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. Suitable for full house clearances or large hoarding cases.

We are local crews who know the area well. Here are some examples of work we have undertaken recently:
Probate Clearance in Accrington: We cleared a traditional stone terrace with difficult access. For this reason, using our “Wait & Load” service, we cleared the property via the back street to avoid blocking the main road, removing 40 years of accumulated furniture and household goods.
End of Tenancy in Great Harwood: A landlord required an urgent turnaround on a rental property. As a result, the same day we removed old sofas and carpets from a second-floor flat, navigating narrow stairwells carefully to avoid damage to the communal hallway.
Hoarder Clearance in Oswaldtwistle: We assisted a family in clearing a garage and spare room filled with papers and bric-a-brac. In addition, our team worked discreetly to separate recyclable paper from general waste, ensuring a high landfill diversion rate.
We cover the entire borough and surrounding districts, including:

Q: Do I need to be present during the clearance? No. We offer a full Key Holder Service and frequently work with local estate agents and solicitors. We can collect the keys, complete the clearance and send you “before and after” photos or videos so you can see the job is done to a high standard without needing to travel.
Q: Do you separate valuables/antiques? Yes. We do not just “smash and grab.” If we find personal documents, photographs, or items that appear to be of monetary or sentimental value, we set them aside and notify you immediately. We act as your eyes and ears on the ground.
Q: Can you clear extremely cluttered or hoarding properties? Yes. We are experienced in hoarding clearances and understand the sensitivities involved. Our team is respectful and empathic, ensuring the property is cleared efficiently while maintaining dignity for the owner.
Q: Do you donate items to charities in Hyndburn? Yes. We prioritise reuse. If furniture or household items are in good condition and have the necessary fire labels, we donate them to local charities. This helps the community and also reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill.
Q: I don’t live in Hyndburn, can you clear my relative’s house? Yes. We specialise in helping distant families and landlords. We handle the logistics remotely, providing digital Waste Transfer Notes and invoices via email, so you have a full audit trail of the disposal without needing to visit the site.
