House Clearance Dearne – South Yorkshire

Customer Requirements

A client living in Thailand, where he was a British diplomat and resided with his family, contacted us. His elderly mother had passed away unexpectedly and, though he had been to South Yorkshire for the funeral, he hadn’t managed to put her affairs in order. He had inherited the three–bedroomed detached property in Dearne’s suburbs and, while attending the funeral in South Yorkshire, had chosen some of his mother’s personal items to keep. We were asked to clear and clean the home as well as tidy its somewhat overgrown garden. The keys were to be collected from an estate agent who was tasked with marketing the property.

House Clearance Overview

We showed up at the residential street in the suburbs at 8.30am ready to get to work. Parking was no hassle because of the wide road. We could easily tell that the furniture was of good quality, and we had a few items which would bring in some cash from re-sellers while others didn’t have much value. One team stayed inside while our gardening crew trimmed foliage, cut the grass and cleared out the flower beds. Finally, we cleaned every inch – including steam-cleaning all fitted carpets – leaving the house in good condition by 5 o’clock.

Customer Comments

The better furniture in the house clearance was sold through our own secondhand shop, with proceeds going towards offsetting for our service. The rest of the fittings that could still be used were donated to a homeless hostel in Dearne. Only around 10 percent of the total items cleared were recycled.
