Questions To Ask Before Going Ahead With A House Clearance Company
Whether you are clearing your house due to downsizing, relocating or simply decluttering can be strenuous and time-consuming. This is where a professional house clearance company can step in and manage the entire process for you from the clearance stage to the transportation and disposal of the waste. With the company’s expertise, the entire clearance can be completed quickly saving you from any unwanted issues or stress arising.
However, there are a number of signs and important aspects to look into before going ahead with a professional clearance company. Performing these checks beforehand can eliminate the chance of hidden fees and potential fines, if the company disposes of your waste illegitimately. In this article, our house clearance London specialists delve into the important checks you should make before going ahead with clearance services.
Licences & Accreditations
You should always look into the company’s licences and accreditations, especially in the clearance industry. A professional house clearance company will possess full insurance for all work undertaken, they should also have accreditations from reputable sources such as the Environmental Agency Waste Removal licence. Without insurance, any damage to your property or to your items will not be covered.
Checking Customer Reviews
Another essential factor to keep in mind before organising professionals to step in includes checking customer reviews. Websites such as Checkatrade and Yell are great places to start, Google My Business reviews are another great source. Companies with no reviews or unsatisfied customers should indicate that the clearance company may cause problems. Customer service is one of the most important values here at Greenleaf Clearance. Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at what our previous customers had to say HERE.
Getting A Quote Before Work Begins
Most house clearance companies will provide you with a rough price or estimate over the phone. Whilst this can seem helpful, you could end up paying more than you initially expected once the clearance services are completed. To avoid this complication from arising, look for clearance companies that offer FREE no-obligation quotes. Our experts here at Greenleaf Clearance can arrive on-site to provide you with a guaranteed quote and price so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.
Getting Protection From Fines
Getting a duty of care waste transfer note is another consideration that homeowners should be aware of. Once the company has cleared your space and collected the items for disposal, the company should provide you with a duty of care waste transfer note. This note protects you from fly tipping fines of up to £2,000 if the waste is tracked back to you. We ensure that all waste that we collect is categorised based on its material and disposed of with the environment in mind.
