How to hire a smooth and efficient house clearance in Croydon

You will need the services of house clearance in Croydon primarily for clearing the place when you are moving out, or a loved one is moving into new premises. Either way this calls for the need to clear articles that are no longer needed. There are high levels of stress involved in all of these tasks and any one of these can be fraught with unhappiness, particularly if you choose the wrong house clearance company when there are many to choose from! For instance, you could be liable to pay a hefty amount of fine if the rubbish is not disposed off the right way.

Given the amount of problem that can arise if attention is not given, so how do you find an insured, reputable, environment agency registered and responsible house clearance company? Fortunately there are ways to make this easily achievable and here are some tips to help you make the right choice when picking a home clearance company.

1. Use search engines and the Internet to narrow down your options. Select 5 to 6 companies and go over their website to check all that they offer.
2. It is always recommended to read through customer reviews and testimonial pages for establishing good service levels.
3. Speak to the house clearance company and arrange for them to visit you FREE of charge to discuss your requirements. If they refuse to visit free and just want to quote you over the phone, move on to the next one.
4. Get a hold of some written testimonials when they visit you and phone some clients.
5. Make sure to look at their clearance vehicle and the way they dress. If they have a untidy old van and look unkempt themselves, it’s fair to say that their service will also fall short of your expectations. Tidy staff and tidy vehicle is a yardstick to measure an efficient and effective service.
6. Ensure you get a fixed and firm quote in writing e.g. email and at least 2 alternative quotes to compare it with. Don't accept verbal quotes as these have a practice of accumulating once they commence their work.
7. Don't pay until the end and if they insist on payment, give them 25% or so as a sign of good faith.
8. If you think you have special items that could be worth something go and get them valued. Don't depend on the honesty of any house clearance in Croydon to tell you what each article is worth.
9. Be on the watch guard when the staff arrives to perform the job. Finally, before they leave check that they only take what you have designated for clearance. Once they've departed it’s too late to get items back. Pay particular attention to external items, e.g. garden ornaments, pots/shrubs etc.

It is time like these that we can take a decision out of haste. But remember that anyone with a vehicle donned in a uniform can call themselves a home clearance service. However, all of them aren’t professionals and it is up to you to approach each with caution.
