Rogue House Clearance Companies

When you deal with Iron Daisy Recycling for your home or commercial premises clearances you will get a professional service and we guarantee to take everything you need cleared, including all the rubbish and carpets if requested.

However, unfortunately ours is an industry plauged with rogues. Many companies offer to do free clearances but only take the items of value and claim they will come back to get the rubbish to complete the clearance but that's the last you'll see of them. Others demand payment up-front, remove items of value and leave the rubbish and low value items behind. Others will simply not bother turning up on the agreed date, leaving you in the lurch. We'd like to say that such instances described here are the exception, but regrettably they are common occurences and we often have to deal with people who have been badly let down by a rogue clearance company, usually during one of their worst times in their lives when an elderly parent has passed away, or had to go into long-term care. Many of the worst offenders appear on the 1st page of Google, or do heavy social media advertising, often claiming to be Nationwide. In fact most of those claiming to operate across the country simply take your money for at least a "deposit" then try and farm the work out to a trader near you.

Another factor we see regularly is the small trader offering house clearance services that turn up in just one van, often too small to get much of a load on. They will take a long time to do the job, plus you need to ensure they are disposing of your waste correctly as many charge low for doing the job. If they don't dispose of the items removed correctly then it will be classed as fly-tipping and you could be personally liable under the Duty of Care laws: Click Here For More Information 

If you want to save money on a clearance then consider listing items that are in reasonable condition on social media sales pages, etc. Even consider giving things away free of charge. You may be suprised at how much some of the older items can fetch; old vinyl records, old magazines, retro furniture, first edition books, etc. although most older items will regrettably just be rubbish of no value. You can also contact local charities to see if they will take anything, especially bulky furniture items, although be aware that most are very fussy what they take and they could take a few days or even weeks to go and view the items. But for what is left you should only deal with reputable local companies. You need two or more large vans present at the clearance property, plus an operating base/depot to do a clearance job properly and ensure all the waste is sorted and any reusable items are put back to use.
