House Clearances – What You Can and Should Keep

House clearances are a part of life, every so many years the average home accumulates a great deal of items which are noHouse junk longer needed, or have been broken and never repaired. You shouldn’t share your living space with clutter, and organising a full house clearance is one of the most effective and hassle-free ways to get rid of items you no longer need, and make some money while you are at it.

Many of the better London based house clearance companies can buy items and appliances off you, if they are in decent working order, or if they can be easily repaired and resold. The beauty of a specialised house clearance is that you don’t have to lift a finger as the entire process will be handled by diligent, well organised clearance teams who will sort through the items quickly and efficiently.

If you have to get rid of large amounts of different items such as redundant appliances and electronics, leftover furniture from recent renovations, or general household junk and rubbish, you can also request a preliminary clearance viewing. Many of the house clearance companies in London will be more than happy to visit you for a free job viewing in advance. During this process, you might actually realise that there are items which you like to keep. For instance, if you are building a tool shed in your garden, or something similar, certain building materials and supplies leftover from a recent home renovation will come in handy and save you some money from buying new materials.

If you are good with the soldering iron, and like tweaking around with things – you can try and give broken electronics or other electrical appliances another chance in life. Using a specialised house clearance service organised and provided by a registered, licensed company also ensures proper disposal of the items which cannot be used. It is important to secure the services of a clearance company which recycles and reuses as much as possible of the junk they collect.

Tossing things down landfills is not the right waste management practice, so go with a service provider who guarantees reuse and recycling of discarded items and materials. This is usually confirmed by receiving a waste transfer note issued by the respective processing facilities like recycling plants, crusher depots, incinerators, purifiers etc. The waste transfer note is given to you by the house clearance company.
