1. What will it cost?

It is entirely dependant on what needs clearing. We are looking to buy antiques and good quality furniture that is in good condition. We will charge for items to be taken to the recycling centre such as broken appliances, carpets, mattresses and sofas that are unfit for resale. Most of these items are charged upon their weight so it really depends upon the quantity. The other factor to affect the cost is the amount of labour a clearance will take. Stairways and accessible parking can influence cost so in most instances we would need to pay a visit beforehand. We offer a free no obligation quotation.

4. What is rubbish and what is fit for resale?

In most cases we will need to view items to make a decision. Carpets, soiled mattresses, sofas and upholstered items are all deemed as rubbish. We are looking for antiques and good quality items in good condition for resale.
