Flats are priced on the carry, not the contents. Stairs, lift access and where the van can legally stop change the job more than the number of rooms does.
In Hackney we work with independent firms that hold an upper-tier waste carrier licence, carry at least £2m public liability insurance, and have been checked against the Environment Agency register before they can quote you. Tell us about the property once and up to three of them will price it.
What a flat clearance includes
- All labour and the vehicle
- Licensed disposal, with a waste transfer note for your records
- Dismantling furniture where it will not fit through the door
- Sweeping through afterwards, left broom-clean
- Resale value on good furniture offset against your price
- Donation to charity of anything usable, receipts on request
