House Clearance
We had a phone call from a man who has lost his brother a couple of months ago. He needed to
clear the house in Colchester, Essex. He said that the property is
in a bad condition. After a long conversation it became apparent that the two-bedroom house is quite
hoarded, and we are looking at verminous clearance. Also, the property has no electricity supply.
On top of that there was a water leakage over last few weeks. All the contents was quite wet and
heavy.
The client asked us to notify him in case if we locate any sellable items or items of potential
sentimental value
Plus, the house is located on a narrow road with no parking.
It doesn’t seem to be a quick job…
On a day we picked up the key from a local estate agent and arrived to the property at 9am.
The property was hoarded indeed, some rooms were filled with the rubbish waste-high so we couldn’t
move around. In addition, there were rats in the house.
The hardest part was to manually pick up and bag all the items.
Then the driver was doing circles around the block not to cause a big jam while two other lads were
throwing as much bags as they could each circle into the van. That’s the sort of job where even
three-man team doesn’t look big enough.
Sadly, at the end of the day we were able to complete the two loads only. It was apparent that we
needed another day.
Luckily enough we left the next day blank for this team as we suspected that may occur.

Day2
Returned on the next day we worked hard up to 7pm only made two more loads, but we completed the job
finally.
The client has requested us to leave carpets, white goods, some furniture and a shelf with records
because he’s not been able to inspect them earlier because of a clutter.
We dropped the key through the letterbox of estate agent as it was too late and off home.
That was a really good job.
