Why You Shouldn’t Choose A Clearance Company Without Adequate Research

If you are currently considering or trying to organise a house clearance Surrey in preemption for a move or to simply regain lost space, deciding on a company to go forward with should be done with adequate research. Rushing the process could lead to fines, damage and other issues you don’t want to deal with. 

Do You Need A House Clearance?

House clearances are typical for those that want to remove unwanted items before moving house, after a loved one passes or to simply regain some occupied space. House clearances involve professionals entering your property and going room to room, removing and disposing of any items that you haven’t noted for them to leave. The professional team will also manage the disposal and removal of the cleared items. 

Whether you need a surrey clearing or house clearance is down to you. If you feel that one is necessary it is a great idea to consult professional companies to manage the process as it can be extremely time-consuming and strenuous for those without adequate experience.

Checking For Licences & Accreditations  

One of the most important factors to keep in mind during the company vetting and comparison process includes checking their licences and accreditations. Choosing the wrong company could lead to severe issues such as heavy fines and even damage to your property. 

Clearance companies are usually insured to take on all household clearances. They may also be registered with relevant agencies such as the environmental agency as registered waste carriers. Some companies may also have scrap metal dealers licences, allowing them to handle and offer you cash back for scrap metals found during the clearance. Checking the customer reviews of the company is the perfect way to reinforce their legitimacy, allowing you to gain an insight into the company’s previous work and the customer’s feedback. Obtaining a duty of care waste transfer note is essential as it protects you from flytipping when they transport and dispose of your waste. Without one, you could have to pay fines of up to £2,000 if the tipped waste is tracked back to you.
