House, Loft and Garden Clearances
Our house clearance, loft clearance and garden clearance services cover a wide range of household and outdoor items. Accepted waste can generally include old furniture, broken appliances, clothing, paper, bric-a-brac, garden furniture, hedge trimmings and light green waste. Keep in mind that recycling electrical appliances must be completed under the latest WEEE regulations.
Some items are classed as non-acceptable waste. These typically include:
- Medical or biological waste
- Asbestos-related materials
- Hazardous chemicals
- Paints and solvents (unless dried)
- Gas bottles or pressurised containers
If you feel unsure as to whether a particular item from a house or garden can be removed, our waste clearance team is always happy to advise those in or around the Brighton area, and many more across all locations in East Sussex.
Soft Demolitions
Soft demolition work is ideal when you need to remove internal structures or fittings without disturbing the building’s shell. We manage soft demolitions in Brighton prior to refurbishments and renovations in all homes and businesses. Examples of accepted waste items on soft demolitions include materials like timber, plasterboard, metal, internal doors, non-structural walls or ceiling tiles.
However, non-accepted materials may include:
- Hazardous construction waste (e.g. asbestos)
- Liquids such as paint, adhesives or oils
- Electrical wiring still connected to a mains supply
All soft demolition waste is sorted and disposed of responsibly in accordance with local regulations and key stipulations from the Environment Agency.
Builders' Waste Clearances
Our builders’ waste clearance service in Brighton supports all contractors and private clients who need the fast and fully compliant disposal of renovation or construction debris. Accepted waste includes bricks, rubble, timber, old piping, broken tiles and plasterboard, which builders use in abundance.
Items not accepted typically include:
- Asbestos sheeting or insulation
- Paints and adhesives
- Contaminated soil or waste
- Live electrical equipment
- Solvent containers unless empty and dry
We ensure all acceptable waste is recycled or disposed of correctly, with full documentation provided for your records especially if you run a business.
Probate House Clearances
Probate house clearance is an emotional and sensitive task. We help families in Brighton with the respectful and efficient removal of items from properties in the aftermath of bereavement. Accepted waste includes personal effects, furniture, small household appliances, books and general household clutter.
Non-accepted waste includes:
- Clinical or medical waste
- Sharps or prescription drugs
