This not only gives you evidence of the transfer to us, but also peace of mind that your unwanted items are being managed responsibly.
This is completed by our team digitally, directly from site once your job is complete, and emailed to you along with your invoice and before and after photos, so even if you are not present when we complete the work, you will immediately have the paperwork and can see what we have done, again delivering you peace of mind.
