House Clearance companies are used when you need to clear a property of unwanted items. This could be due to hoarding, after the death of a loved one or following renovations or building works.
Many companies will offer full or partial clearances, with some taking a few select items. They can often cater to your requirements, taking items out of your home where needed. Items are then either donated, sold, recycled or disposed of responsibly.
If items are sold, these funds can sometimes be used to offset the cost of the clearance. You should check before booking a company that they offer this as part of their service.
In the case of someone passing, the executor of the will is responsible for arranging the house clearance. It is very often paid for out of the deceased’s estate.
Charities and councils sometimes offer house clearances, but this is not standard across the UK so check your local council website and charities. With Compare My Move, you can be connected with verified clearance companies in your area. They will complete the clearance to a high standard, disposing of items correctly.
