Question 1

Learn more about House Clearance in Ilford

Accepted Answer

House clearance services are used when customers require renovation waste, unwanted furniture, old household appliances and other general junk and bulkier items to be cleared from the property to make way for something else. Typically these types of services are required at short notice when our customers need their space back because a property needs to be emptied or they are waiting on a delivery.

The Borough of Ilford in the east of London has weekly waste collections for regular and recyclable waste. In the case of the council removing bulky items, removal can be arranged, but a house clearance service carried out by a professional private waste contractor is usually the most comprehensive solution to get rid of many items in one go.

Question 2

Professional house clearance services in Ilford

Accepted Answer

Professional house clearance removal services are not easy to come by, which is why we have built the Wayst platform. Our aim is to provide you with quality driven service providers that will carry out a service with the customer and environment in mind.

We will accommodate your date and time requirements upon booking, however we require pictures of the waste and area to clear beforehand to ensure the load has been properly estimated before our clearance teams venture out to do the work.

When the clearance teams are on their way you will receive a communication to let you know we are on our way to save you hanging around and upon arrival the load will be reviewed against what has been booked. If all matches then the clearance will go ahead with minimum disruption and you not worrying about lifting heavy items, however if it is more than what has been booked then the clearance team will requote, at this point, to guard against any hidden costs there is no obligation. If the load is less than you have booked we will charge the lesser amount. Once complete you will be issued with all the relevant documentation including a waste transfer note detailing where the waste was generated from and then sent to for disposal.

Question 3

House clearance costs

Accepted Answer

Because of the high demand and varying options you have to choose from, house clearance services will differ in cost. The way we charge is based initially on the size of the load (based on how much waste you have to clear, each load size has an allocated amount of labour for two operatives, if you have heavier waste like soil, bricks etc then the weight restriction could come into play however 90% of the time it is based on capacity. We charge per item for hazardous and specialist waste streams such as paint, monitors, fluorescent tubes, white goods etc as these require separate waste processing to general waste.

The average price of a load as part of a house clearance is £300 + VAT, however for smaller loads this can be as low as £120+VAT, please note that these are just baseline suggestions.

While there are many budget options for household clearance and waste removal, it is up to you to do due diligence to ensure that the company is licensed and will adhere to regulations. If the price of the clearance seems too good to be true, then it probably is, waste is expensive to dispose of properly and if your waste is disposed illegally, you will ultimately be held liable for any extra costs incurred by the authorities.

You can keep the cost lower by ensuring that your house clearance team can park close to the property, have quick, easy access to the furniture, boxes and other items that need to be removed. Always ask your house clearance service provider for a breakdown of the costs if you are unsure of anything and want to avoid hidden costs.

Question 4

Responsible removal of household rubbish

Accepted Answer

While weekly waste removal coordinated by the local council is often good enough for our daily needs, we may find ourselves with larger amounts of waste from time to time.

A household clearance company will be able to remove different streams of waste, all in one vehicle. Sorting your waste before the collection will save time, and potentially some cost. After the household clearance service has collected your waste, it will be transported to the appropriate depot – a transfer centre for general waste, and reuse and recycle depots for waste that can be rescued from landfills.

All waste companies that work on your behalf should be licensed as a waste carrier with the Environmental Agency and should issue a Waste Transfer Note after every clearance they do. This note will contain your details, their details and details of the type of waste removed and will serve as proof that your waste is disposed of legally.

At Wayst, we ensure that waste going through our platforms are mostly reused and recycled where possible.

The green gateway aims to improve provision for both pedestrians and cyclists to use the connecting road between the two boroughs.
