If you own a large property, it is more than likely that junk and waste builds up on a regular basis. Property clearance can seem like a stressful and annoying process, not to mention time consuming, but with our helpful tips it should be much easier.
Hire a skip
The most effective solution for a large property clearance is hiring a skip. This way you will be able to toss any waste and rubbish strait into the skip, which allows you to be quicker and to de-clutter the junk areas with convenience. Skips come in different sizes so you should pick the right one for your needs. They can be specific for hard rubbish (concrete, bricks, etc.) or green waste (when you are doing garden waste clearance). We recommend getting a general waste skip, which is for anything except liquids and flammables.
Clearance services
There are a lot of professional clearance services available in London. They can help you with everything when it comes to property clearance. It doesn’t really matter if you hire a man and van service or a commercial clearance company – they will both help you quite a lot. The important thing when you hire professionals is that you have an estimate of the volume of the waste that needs removal. This way it would be easier for both you and the rubbish removal company to tackle the job. Keep in mind that it is usually better to overestimate if you are in doubt. This way the company will surely fit everything and not have to make more than one course.
The shed clearance
The shed can be considered one of the main junk places, due to the fact that it’s often the storage facility for a property. When replacing items that you decide to keep, you can implement some practical storage solutions. Here are some helpful organisation tips:
– Install shelves in order to store items. Place little items in jars and then on those shelves.
– Label everything (shelves, jars, drawers, etc.) so that you and everyone else don’t waste any time when searching for a certain item.
– Place S-hooks on the ceiling and on the walls in order to hang certain items like shovels and rakes. This way you use some free space and make the whole shed look more organised.
– Organise all items by categories. Good examples are having a bucket for everything garden related and another one for handyman items (screws, hammers, etc.)
– Label those buckets once they have been organised and place them on the shelves or inside cupboards.
Some other options
If your junk is mechanical equipment or furniture, there are some other solutions. In the case where your items are in good condition, it is always a good idea to have a garage sale and make some money in the waste clearance process. Wooden furniture can also be recycled after being broken down into smaller pieces. Just make sure that you have removed all the cushioning.
This concludes our short list. Good luck and proceed with caution!
