Fairer House Clearance Preston
A house clearance is a charged service.
Lancashire House Clearance Preston charge based on the amount of stuff to clear. A Much Fairer House Clearance Service is offered to everyone needing a house clearance company in Preston.
Many other companies do the same but not many allow a value to any of the contents.
Therefore you just pay what they ask with no reduction at all.
We look at any possible value in the items to be cleared and deduct this value from the cost and so, this means you have less to pay.
This does not mean we are doing the clearance on the cheap.
Getting rid of junk is expensive and every house clearance involves junk collection and disposal. It simply means that as a fairer house clearance company, we get the value of the contents to pay some of the cost where appropriate.
Some items which cannot be re-used could have a surcharge added. The most common of these are sprung mattresses, fridges / freezers and old CRT televisions. Gas bottles are another surcharge item we come across fairly regularly.
Surcharges are not in the initial quote because they may not apply. If a fridge is sellable, it is an asset, therefore we would not add a surcharge. We would allow a value for it and deduct the value from the cost of your job.

More Stuff Can Mean Less Cost
One of the quirks of the house clearance business is, although jobs are charged by volume, more stuff can mean less cost. Obviously we can only talk about how our company operates.
When a job is priced up by volume, that is not the end of it.
Everything is looked at to work out if it has any value, where it does, that value is taken off the cost of the house clearance.
House Clearances have an average of 30% reduction in cost. There have been jobs where the value exceeds the cost and in this case, you would be paid to have your house clearance done by us.
