​Hello my name is Gareth Walker, I help people by clearing properties. Clients all have their own different reasons for wanting to clear a property, If you are recently bereaved, may I offer you my deepest condolences. The one thing I never forget when carrying out this type of work is that the property I am clearing may well be a place which someone recently called  home.

 

I purposefully use a non sign written van as I feel it is more discreet and more befitting for the service I provide. My website, my business cards and my reputation are my way of communicating with clients and I do not have a shop. The way that I believe a house clearance ought to be carried out, differs quite dramatically from the companies out there who arrive in big sign written vans to perform an impersonal service. I believe that everything ought to be done with dignity and respect for the person who used to live. For example, if I do need to dismantle something in order to fit it on the van, I always would do that inside of the property. 

​

What you can expect from me on clearance day, is the peace of mind you get from trusting your clearance to someone who has received removals industry training and who is an experienced house clearer. But, most importantly to someone who will always turn up once a booking has been confirmed.​

 

The most common question I get asked is " How does it work" and so I will answer that here. I do a variety of clearance work, however here my answer specifically refers to house clearances bereavement, or moved to an old peoples' home clearances.

 

After families have had plenty of time together to decide what has been necessary to earmark for disposal and after they have had time to remove the items of sentimental value to them, they are welcome to arrange for me to view the property after which I will be able to offer my most reasonable fully inclusive, no obligation quotation. If it so happens that there are items in the property with residual value in them, then that value will be offset against disposal costs and this will be reflected in the quotation you recieve.

 

 

As I am old fasioned, I then arrange a suitable date and time for a viewing which I still believe is the best way forward. However, I realise that isn't always possible because clients are living out of the area or overseas. For those clients I would like to let you know that I am available to video chat online, alternatively a walk through video, or photos of the property to be cleared sent to me via e mail or whattsapp should suffice in order for me to offer my most affordable fully inclusive quotation.  

​

I am not an antique dealer or collectables specialist with a shop. If you have antiques or collectables which you would like to be valued, I recommend you seek out the services of a professional valuer. I donate bric a brac, clothes, books, furniture to the Sue Ryder charity shop. But, if a client has a preferred charity of choice with a local drop off point, I am more than willing to load up the items the charity has agreed to except and deliver them on their behalf of my clients once they have arranged a suitable time to drop off with the charity of choice.

• I am a licensed waste carrier  E.A waste carriers license number CBDUO19029

I use two sizes of van to carry out my work. My long wheelbase van is quite versatile at only 4.5 metres in length and can access places where no lorry could go. I always aim to complete my clearance work on the same day.

​​

I offer affordable fully inclusive quotes so my clients know exactly what their clearance will cost, well before clearance day. If you have any questions regarding my house clearing service, my name is Gareth, feel free to give me a call.
