A probate clearance is sorting, not shifting. Paperwork, photographs and anything of value are set aside before work starts, and the contents are assessed for the estate rather than quietly taken away.
In Southwark we work with independent firms that hold an upper-tier waste carrier licence, carry at least £2m public liability insurance, and have been checked against the Environment Agency register before they can quote you. Tell us about the property once and up to three of them will price it.
