There is no doubt that decluttering your home can be quite the challenge. It can be a stressful experience, which is why we are here to share some tips with you. Before you make any decisions of conducting the house clearance London, it is important to be aware about the kinds of waste that need to be carried away. Make a thorough evaluation of the situation in order to help yourself get an idea of how you will take on the process with all the annoying work that comes with it. Let’s begin with the tips now! Here we go:
1.Make a Plan
First of all – come up with a good plan of where you will start and how you will proceed. Try to make an estimate of the time that you will need and make sure that you focus only on the house clearance, without distracting yourself (it’s really easy to do that, so you have to be strong). For a thorough house clearance it is recommended to have at least twelve hours for each room (yes, we know it sounds like a lot, but we want the real thing, don’t we?). It is essential that you give yourself the required time, so that the stress can be at its minimum. Get help by at least one person, because otherwise it’s really easy to get demotivated. There is always the option to simply call in professional waste collection services.
2.Separate the Unwanted Materials from the Treasures
Now that you are done with the initial planning, we advise that you go through every single item in the house. Separate them by two categories – items that you want to keep and such that are junk and have to go. Remember that you are not aiming at emptying your house, but rather changed in the best way possible. Make sure to identify the items that can be sold and those that are suitable for donation. A good way to mark your items while going through them is by labeling them with differently coloured labels. Marking everything will help you save a lot of time and avoid confusion after you start dealing with them. Another good idea is to place the items that have the same coloured labels placed in single locations. It doesn’t take time and makes the whole procedure much more organised.
3.Estimate the Volume of Stuff that Needs to be Cleared
The recommended way for estimating the amount of items that need to be disposed of is to simply think in terms of a regular domestic skip. Walk around all the rooms in your house and assess the number of skips that all unwanted items would occupy. Keep in mind that this is an estimate, you are not obligated to be perfectly accurate. Once you are ready with determining the volume of all the waste in every room, sum it up and get the total volume estimated.
4.Choose the Best Option that Suits You
It is quite simple. There are four options to consider when it comes to house clearance: do it yourself (DIY), hire a skip, conduct your local council, or use professional waste collection services. Every option has pros and cons, so you have to be able to make one (it’s usually made in accordance to your budget). Choosing the DIY option is the best one if your budget is tight and if you think everything can be easily handled. Keep in mind that if you hire professionals it is crucial to check if they have the appropriate Waste Carrier License.
