House Clearances

The Real Cost of a Cheap, Undocumented Clearance

6 min read

Fly-tipping liability, uncontrolled biohazards, lost paperwork and failed re-lets — why accountable, licensed clearance work costs more and saves more.

We are asked regularly for a cash job, no paperwork, cheapest possible. That is not us, and it never has been. Being clear about that saves everyone a wasted phone call.

What goes wrong

  • Waste fly-tipped and traced back to the property owner, who carries the liability
  • No transfer notes, so an executor cannot evidence what happened to the contents
  • Contaminated mattresses and carpets landfilled instead of heat treated or incinerated
  • POPs upholstery disposed of unlawfully
  • Biohazards spread through the property by dry brushing and domestic vacuums
  • Documents, medals and photographs skipped because nobody was looking for them
  • A failed re-let or a delayed sale because gas, electrical or damage issues were never reported

What accountable work looks like

A written quotation before anyone attends. Licensed carriers and correct waste streams. PPE and containment where there is a biological risk. Keepsakes and paperwork set aside and logged. Certified trades arranged where certification is legally required. Photographs and a completion report at the end.

Councils, housing trusts, solicitors, care home groups and NHS teams do not use us because we are the cheapest van on the road. They use us because the file stands up afterwards.
