Yes, we have public liability insurance, employers liability insurance, goods in transit insurance and all our vehicles are insured for hire and reward (a legal requirement for removals).  Additionally, we hold an upper tier waste carrier and broker licence issued to us by the Environment Agency.  Our registration number is CBDU311463.  

You can check our details on the Environment Agency’s Register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers

Naturally we hold full public & employers liability.

Additionally we hold ‘Goods in Transit’ insurance so we can conduct small removals on your behalf such as to another property or auction house, as well as being fully insured for  delivering items you have sold or purchased.

You can see some of our core documents by scrolling down on our environmental page.

Yes.  Though only legally obliged to issue waste transfer notes to business customers, we choose to issue a digital waste transfer note to ‘every customer for every clearance job’.  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. 

For removals or house clearances we will attend to provide you with a quote.  For smaller jobs, we are able to discuss things over the phone to provide you with an estimate.  This will be firmed up when we arrive.

Contact us as soon as possible, slots fill up quickly.  

When you contact us explaining how we can help.  We will be able to check the diary to ensure we have available slots.

We are generally booked up 2-4 weeks in advance, however this window fluctuates, so best to give us a call and we will see what we can do.

Absolutely.  It is easiest when customers are on site.  However we appreciate this isn’t always possible.

Providing we have clarity on what items are to go, have access to remove them and, you or someone can be available on the phone at the time of our visit to answer any questions we may have, that is absolutely fine.   

In exceptional circumstances we may be able to do this, however it is unsafe for our teams to work in the dark.  Please contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss your options.

Once we have agreed a booking and your deposit has been received, we will email you a booking confirmation.  Our team will also text you when they are on the way.

For removals, once the work is complete, we will email you and invoice showing paid.  For clearances, we will also email you before and after photos, as well as a waste transfer note so you can evidence proper disposal of your items.
