Excellent service

An excellent service for a flat clearance. The team were punctual, polite and very helpful. If I need this sort of service again, I would certainly come back to this company

I whole heartedly recommend the…

I whole heartedly recommend the services of this company. What struck me most was that everyone I dealt with throughout the process (from booking, getting a quote, work being carried out) treated me with the identical high standards.
On the day the work was carried out I realised that I had slightly more items to remove than I was originally quoted for. This was not a problem and although I offered to pay a bit more they still honoured the original quote.
If you need a rubbish removal company do not hesitate to use these guys. I will will using them again for sure.

Excellent and efficient service

Excellent and efficient service. A great relief to get rid of so much stuff in my attic at relatively little cost. And it's nice to think that it won't all go straight into landfill.

Avoid at all costs

In reply: 1. My 90 year-old father suffered the stress of Clearance Solutions threatening our estate agent that they would dump all the furniture back into the old house. He then suffered the stress of a “Letter Before Action” threatening legal action against him and me when I asked for a compromise solution.
2. The two senior Clearance Solutions people confirmed on the day that there were many, many items they were taking to sell on – in fact one of the vans was specifically to take the more valuable pieces, with the other vans taking boot sale stuff plus rubbish.
3. There were a few breakages, as explained to the boss, but nothing valuable (the marble was probably already broken).

We made the painful mistake of using Clearance Solutions to do our removal and our house clearance. They multiplied their removals quote by three times when they'd half finished the job, saying there was much more stuff (3 times?!) to be moved. This defied all known logic because they also claimed the amount of stuff for clearance was the same as their original quote!

When I said I wasn’t happy (and in any case couldn’t pay the bill while I was physically driving from the old to the new property on removal day!) they asked the men to pull over midway and threatened to move everything back into the old house.
My 90 year-old father, who was already suffering the stress of moving out of the family home of 33 years, found all this an incredibly traumatic experience, as you can imagine. (The irony is incredible, because they claim to have links to Age UK!)

They also claim, on the not-for-profit LCRN website as well as to us when they came to quote, that they offset ‘costs against the resale value of items cleared’. Indeed, they admitted on the day that they were taking a lot of good quality stuff to sell on, but of course there was no mention of this when their bill came in.

Other complaints include: various breakages, one of their men disappearing an hour after he arrived on the first day leaving them short of manpower, the boss failing to pass on the access/parking details of the removals destination to his team, tipping receipts promised but never supplied.

Apart from the breakages, they point-blank refused to address a single one of these complaints, or to reduce their bill to something in the same ball-park as their original quote. Instead, they threatened my father with legal action.

Reply from Clearance Solutions ltd

Dear John,

I’m extremely sorry that you feel so let down by your experience. We’re a small family run business and it’s been really disappointing to hear how unhappy you were. We’ve taken your comments on board and feel we’ve investigated this case thoroughly.

I was sorry to see your comments about your father, although he wasn’t present at the move, we know moving house can be a stressful time.

We have insurance to cover damage and loss, if you would like to make a claim, please contact me. I’m pleased that we have managed to establish that the chip on the table preceded our involvement.

We have a transparent pricing model based around how much labour and vehicles are required to get the job done. On arrival we immediately flagged up that we’d need far more resources to finish. We discussed this with you and agreed a new price before sending in the extra resources at your instruction.

Where there are items that can be resold, we make agreements with clients in advance, and reduce the bill accordingly. We always put this in writing so that it’s really clear. Due to the circumstances of this job, where all of the assets had been taken to auction, it wasn’t appropriate or discussed. We are members of various re-use organisations. We do endeavour to get as much re-used as possible, minimising disposal charges for our clients, and avoiding landfill.

Excellent

Clearance Solutions were helpful from start to finish for our office move. The clearance guys on the day were professional, polite, helpful and extremely efficient. They went above and beyond to make a stressful day a lot easier.

Highly recommended!

We're extremely pleased

We're extremely pleased with all the work done in clearing our deceased aunt's house. The (very messy) house was cleared very well, and they even cleared the overgrown garden, which hadn't been tended for years. Everyone was very professional. Highly recommended.

Clearance made easy!

Communication with tireless Emma could not be easier. She patiently adjusted quotation to various changes and replied to my questions very promptly. The crew that actually cleared our office was very punctual, polite and cooperative. Keep up the good work guys!

Excellent

From the initial call with Emma the dreaded job of clearing an elderly relative's 3 bedroom house, garage & shed could not have gone better & everywhere was left cleaner than it had been in 40 years .
Everyone involved was professional, courteous & supportive in a difficult time for me.

Arrived on time

Arrived on time, very polite and got the job done with a minimum amount of fuss. Making the arrangements prior to the day was easy as well.
