Dear Irvin
I am just writing to thank you very much for all the assistance that you and your team have given to me in relation to the clearance of my family property.
As I explained to you when making arrangements for you to carry out this job the property, whilst it had been occupied ( I am not sure I can honestly say lived in!) up to four months ago had not been attended to for a great many years and on top of the dilapidation that was evident in the dampness, leaking roofs and collapsed ceilings in some rooms, it was also extremely cluttered! Sadly it was so cluttered in some rooms we could not see, never mind access, the other side of the room.
Just to make matters more complicated from my point of view I live many hundreds of miles from the property so were unable to meet to discuss matters beforehand which could have been a problem with a disreputable company.
You were professional throughout, you agreed a price with me and stuck to it. You and your team turned up on time and not only worked their socks off but did it with good humor and a degree of sensitivity given the fact that you were of course clearing out what had been my family's personal history!
The job took longer than either of us anticipated and as you know I felt sufficiently at ease to leave you with the key to finalise the clearance without my being physically present.
You very sensibly checked with me when anything looked important or valuable and you and your team cleared the entire house without causing me any of the anxiety or stress which I had expected!
I will certainly recommend you on a personal and professional level and wish you all the best.
Best wishes

I write with reference to the team from Abacus that came to our rescue today.
I won`t bore you with the tale of woe, but we were left with a small house that was in dire straits that my other half and I had been trying to deal with for a while leading to tears, tantrums and several unpleasant domestic rows-not to mention the hard work involved in just getting two foot inside the door.
I called Abacus. They arrived exactly when they said they would - in fact they were early! The situation in the house, it seemed, was much worse than I thought after my uninvited guests had departed, and was beginning to think that I would have to make arrangements for another day and then have to put off all deliveries etc that had been planned.
Abacus to the rescue!
The appropriate skip was ordered (50 yarder) and delivered that day and I was assured that they`d sort it all out the same day. The guys worked like Trojans and whilst identifying important documents and items selected as keepers, cleared the entire house without a moment of stress or anxiety on our part.
I wouldn`t wish what happened to us on a soul, but these things happen to a great or lesser degree all the time. In hindsight, I wish I`d called in professional help immediately rather than even attempt this task alone, and would have no hesitation in recommending Abacus to anyone with a similar problem, howsoever caused.

When we were faced with needing to restore order to my Mum`s horrendously cluttered bungalow once she had become ill and had to go into hospital, we initially tried to tackle the clearance ourselves. It quickly became apparent that, particularly living 300 miles away, the scale of the task was far too great. I discovered Abacus on the web and saw its photos of house clearances and testimonials from other people facing similar dilemmas.
Once I had spoken with Ian on the telephone I was impressed with his understanding, straightforward and non-judgemental manner. He put me at my ease in dealing with what was a highly emotional and sensitive situation. He reassured me that nothing shocked him and that no problem was too big for him and his team.
Having agreed the items to be kept, I sent Abacus a key and we agreed a date and time to meet at the property. Ian and his team caused me slight surprise in telephoning me to state that they intended arriving half a day early. As it transpired, this was of real benefit, as, once they had gained access to all the rooms (due to missing keys) the amount to be cleared was discovered to be even greater than we had anticipated.
Ian managed the whole situation in a highly professional and efficient manner. Despite the huge task with which they were presented, significant amounts of cash, personal possessions and items of great sentimental value were retrieved from the chaos and kept safe by the team. He and his team were courteous and extremley hard working throughout. The job took 2½ days and they started at 6am to finish by 4pm on the Saturday so as to minimise any inconvenience to the neighbours.
We are extremely happy with the work and the thorough clearance that Abacus carried out and we have no hesitation in recommending Abacus to others facing the same dilemma that we did.
Thank you for a superb job.
Yours sincerely A B

We contacted Abacus Property Clearances after trying to empty my parents' home for two years. The house was exceptionally full of a mixture of plain and simple rubbish, intermingled with items of considerable sentimental value.
It was with some trepidation at the thought of employing a clearance company that we contacted Abacus, but we now feel it was definitely the best thing we could have done.
Ian and his team salvaged furniture, ornaments and personal possessions from within the chaos of the house, whilst clearing the obvious rubbish and emptying the house in an incredibly short time given the amount of work they had to do. Their only break from work was five minutes in which to eat lunch. They worked tirelessly doing a demanding and difficult job.
The team of six men (plus an additional two to clear the jungle of a garden) were punctual, polite, and straight away got on with the job of clearing the house quietly and efficiently.
We were impressed by how Ian managed his team, who are a credit to him. They arranged everything, from the skip hire to the recycling, and did so in a calm, professional manner.
It was the small things that made the big difference during the clearance, for example, when a neighbour's car needed moving to allow skip access, Abacus politely and efficiently talked to the neighbour directly, without myself needing to be involved, and the neighbour happily moved his car straight away. It is the little things such as this that made the whole process that much easier for us.
Ian and his team were completely trustworthy, and after agreeing what was to be left in the house and what was to be removed, we were more than happy to leave them with a key to complete the job and forward the key back to us.
As the house clearance was particularly emotional for us, we were grateful for the professional, understanding approach that was shown by the team.
After seeing the results of Ian and his team's work, and the manner in which they went about it, I have no hesitation in recommending the company to other people that require their services.

Dear Sir, we needed a relative's house cleaning and emptying urgently. We called your company and you provided an excellent service. All the arrangements that were made with you were carried out as you had promised. You and your team turned up exactly the time you had said. You were friendly, polite and put us at our ease in what was a difficult and sensitive situation. You explained exactly what you would do for us and you carried it out to the letter. The result of your team's work was again exactly what you had promised. The keys were returned to us promptly and we are pleased with the result. We would recommend you to other people and we thank you for the service you delivered.

I booked a house clearance from Abacus over the internet. The house was a Victorian terraced house in Cambridge full of 50 plus years of clutter. The team arrived promptly and worked very hard through the (2) day. They did an excellent job. There was a wide range of of different materials and some very heavy and awkward loads. I would definitely recommend them.

Abacus live up to their reputation. I chose them at random from their website having read previous testimonials. The workers arrived on time, very helpful, hardworking and polite. The house was very cluttered and full of items to be cleared but they excelled themselves in clearing everything. They worked continuously, no breaks taken apart from brief lunch, always friendly and respectful of the fact that they were clearing my mother's house who can no longer stay here. Would strongly recommend them and would certainly use them in the future.

I am very pleased with the work you did on clearing the house for me. Your team were on time, friendly and helpful and did a good job. When you realised that the job was going to be much bigger than you expected you made arrangements to allocate more time to it there and then which was a great relief for me. I understand from neighbours that you were there until 7.00pm both Friday and Saturday - thank you. My wife and I went away for the weekend, returning on the Sunday afternoon to find the property cleared. I was especially grateful to Mike who agreed to fit a new lock on the front door when I explained that I was having trouble getting copies of the existing key. All in all a good job which has meant that I have been able to proceed straight away with arranging the sale of the property. Overall I am pleased with the work you have done and would recommend your company to others.

Abacus was booked for 9.00am and the team arrived promptly ready to complete the job. The team started work immediately. In the kitchen the (electric) cooker proved to be a problem to disconnect and remove, they persisted with it until it was free and were able to remove it safely. Everything was removed from the property with 1.5 hours. An efficient job done.

I had originally tried to clear the house myself but after checking on skips, tips etc. I decided to go for a house clearance company. I came across Abacus on the internet and after a brief conversation arranged for them to do the work. They were excellent. Turned up on time, finished when they said they would, left a clean job and were courteous throughout. No hesitation in recommending them.

I engaged Abacus to fully clear, and then clean my late sister's house. The task was massive and very unpleasant, but they quoted and stuck to a good price. The task was carried out promptly and to a good standard. They lived up to their 'we will not let you down' slogan in every respect. I would not hesitate to use their services again. Many thanks.

I have 22 years medical experience as a GP and I have never seen a parents' house in such a filthy and cluttered condition as this 3 bedroomed semi. The 6 men worked diligently for two full days amidst very distasteful conditions, but were good humoured and cooperative in efforts to preserve the few items of value amidst the filth. They found and handed in various unfound small valuables, and I would regard them as trustworthy in that respect. I feel they were good value as a service combined cleaning and disposal which would otherwise be difficult to obtain.

I found Abacus to be very professional and understanding in dealing with the matter in hand, which was a challenging clear-up to undertake. They carried out the job quickly and efficiently, this was most appreciated in view of the terrible conditions of the property concerned. This house could not have been cleared without them and I would happily recommend this company to anyone. Many thanks again to the guys for their hard work.

Abacus are a very professional yet caring company with high standards. From the initial telephone calls & e-mail dialogue to finally meeting the team, we were always impressed by their unfailing politeness as well as their good humour too. Faced with a task even more difficult than anyone had anticipated, they never once complained & went about their unenviable task with due diligence & respect. They quoted a price & stuck to it, arrived on time and completed when they said they would. In such a distressing circumstance, I am very grateful for their high standards and impeccable service.

The above company attended site as planned on the date above. They were punctual and signed in as requested. The foreman introduced himself and an introduction of the site took place before work commenced. The clearance was carried out efficiently and without fuss. The job was completed on time and all materials were removed. The void was difficult to work in with a restriction in height. Materials were random and not easy to gather together. I can confirm that we were very happy with the service that we received from Abacus.

I used Abacus to clear my mother's cottage after she had passed away, and to clean the property after clearance. The work people were kind, cheerful and extremely efficient in their work. I would have no hesitation in reccomending Abacus for any similar work or to any person with a similar task. Finally I consider their pricing to be fair and commensurate with the task. A job well done.

Following the death of a family relative we were confronted with the clearance of the house which was in a state of squalor! The rooms were elevated by 2-3 foot of rubbish, rotting food etc. We contacted the Abacus team who were extremely helpful & supportive, they arrived on time and despite the dreadful conditions worked tirelessly to get the job done. They did what they promised and cleared the whole house. The team was fantastic and did not complain in any way - great guys who we got on with very well and we cannot thank them enough, and would recommend them to anyone facing the kind of problems we were confronted with. Thanks to you all.

Dear Chris, Irvin and team (Abacus staff),
I am writing to express my gratitude to you for your recent property clearance at Ambleside, Cumbria, which was a colossal job as it involved 3 separate large buildings with over 45 years worth of associated furniture and serious amounts of clutter/junk in every single room.
Your team arrived early each day, you were very conscious of my customer sensitivities at a time of family bereavement and you displayed professionalism, honesty and good humour.
The scale of the task you faced cannot be underestimated and I would definitely recommend you and your team to anyone. Your punctuality was all the more impressive given the distance and time you had to travel to reach Ambleside in the first place.
Your good humour and friendly approach definitely contributed significantly to making the job go as smoothly as it did.
Thank you very much indeed.

I have been very impressed with Abacus House Clearance. We needed a house cleared urgently, and Abacus were able to do it at very short notice. They were reliable and came when they said they would, and when it became obvious that the job was much heavier and more time consuming than we had originally thought, they went that extra mile to get it finished, staying much later than planned and hiring an extra van for us. They were pleasant and helpful people to deal with.

They also phoned confirming that the job was completed. A very efficient service - highly recommended.

On the morning of the clearance Abacus arrived on time and with two van loads had the property completely clear within half a days work. This included everything moveable in the property and left the way completely clear for remedial work to progress. Thank you very much for your help.
