 It is for this reason that many people nowadays are turning to professional house clearance London companies to take the stress away.  Below I have listed a few tips to help plan and execute your house clearance with the minimum amount of stress.

Firstly you need to work out how much time you have to complete your house clearance.  Proper planning will make sure that the house clearance process runs smoothly and generally you will need to allow around ½ a day for each room that you need cleared.  Remember that allowing yourself more time than you may need can be invaluable. 

Once you have done this you can then begin to decide what you want to keep and what you want to throw away.  This is a very important stage as you will need to go through all of your possessions and decide what you want to keep and what you can give away,Make your House Clearance Easy Articles sell or have cleared.  A simple way to keep track of your sorting is to label your items, the easiest system to use is a traffic light system.

Red = House clearance company

Orange = Items to be sold/given away

Green = Items you want to keep

You will need to be pretty ruthless during this stage and only use green labels for items that you definitely want to keep.

Once you have labelled everything you can start to move items around so that all items are grouped together according to your labelling system.  It is a good idea to start with the items that you want the clearance company to take and leave the green items until last so you have more space to move around and can be gentle with the items you want to keep.

 

If you live in London there are plenty of house clearance companies you can use.  Before you call the house clearance London Company you will need to know roughly how much stuff you have that needs to be cleared.  An easy way to do this is to visualise a standard skip and decide whether you have enough stuff to fill, a skip or even more than one.  It doesn’t matter if you are little bit out as most house clearance London companies will just need a rough idea.

 

WARNING – Identity theft is on the rise in the UK so when you are clearing unwanted items make sure that any confidential documents are treated carefully.  Some clearance companies will offer a secure shredding service for a small fee.  Also make sure you do not dispose of documents you may need at a later date.
