Nothing is removed until the executor has confirmed the plan.
The team works room by room. Items are separated into:
If we are unsure about an item, we stop and ask.
Items with value can go to:
Sale proceeds belong to the estate. Auction gives the clearest record, since you get a catalogue entry and a sale note.
Charities take goods that are clean and safe. Upholstered furniture must still have its fire safety label.
Many families choose a charity the deceased supported. Tell us the name and, where they collect locally, we will route items there.
At the transfer station, loads are separated into timber, metal, textiles, paper, and rubble.
Electrical goods follow WEEE rules. Fridges, freezers, and televisions are treated at approved facilities.
Only what cannot be reused or recycled goes for disposal. That is usually contaminated, broken, or unsafe material.
Hazardous items, such as paint, chemicals, and asbestos sheeting, are handled separately and cost more.
Some things deserve care rather than a skip:
Tell us before we start and we will set them aside for the family.
We survey the property, then send a written quote. No fixed price is given before we see the contents.
