I would also like to mention that
Harrowells were enquiring with regard
to how satisfied we were with the
house clearance particularly regarding
attention to environmental issues,
and I have informed Harrowells that
we were very satisfied and pleased
with the service from start to finish,
I informed them that the house was
left tidy and that you send
photographs of the house following
the clearance, which I think is a
brilliant idea for families who may live
some distance from the property.

Thank you once again for a very
considerate and efficient service.

Call us today for a free assessment and a binding written quote.
Telephone quotes are not in
the best interests of the
customer:

No two house  clearances are alike so
how can there a be fixed fee?            
There usually isn't.  
Companies quoting over the phone
for house clearance without
assessment often invoice at a higher
rate than initially quoted. Reason
given: more there than you stated or
they believed.

Expecting you to accurately say what
the house clearance entails allows
additions to the bill - YOU got it
wrong.

Items of value are an important
factor. Some companies ignore them
and just quote a fixed fee.

WE want to value them and use the
value to reduce any fees. Because of
this our clients, on average, paid
lower fees than those charged by our
competitors.

We take the time and travel to give
you a free written binding quote.

You make a decision based on facts
and we are both in agreement as to
the fixed position.

We want OUR clients to be assured
about where they stand.t

We prefer to assess before quoting -  to safeguard you.   

We don't want to place the emphasis on you to assess a situation you may never have come across before.

We don't expect you to decide what is a lot or a little clutter, or how big a van WE will need and is there space for
it, or how long a job may take.

We want to give you the best price possible, not one that is hedged to take into account all the possibilities.

We consider it dishonest how some firms have hidden get out clauses allowing increases if YOU get it wrong.

We want to give a written binding quote.    If it  takes longer than thought we stand the loss.    
If it takes less time than thought we reduce the fee (in 1/2 hour segments).  

We make an allowance on items we can assess but not otherwise.

We want to give you peace of mind as to all the job entails and how we will handle it .

We are happy to put in extra effort and go those extra miles to make sure you are well served.
Can we send photographs via e-mail instead?

An alternative to a physical assessment but dependant on accuracy of the photographs. We reserve the right to
adjust a quote if they mislead us as to the details of the task.  We need wide angle shots including as much of the
contents as possible and not forgetting inside cupboards, drawers, attics, garages and outbuildings.
E-mail them to dh@northernclearance.com.    
And what if we want a quote without any initial assessment?

In this instance we cannot give a written quote that is binding.  We will not be able to make any allowance for items
of value.

We will attempt, from what you tell us, to guesstimate the length of time the job will take and will verbally quote a
fee.  We reserve the right, at invoicing, to amend the fee to take into account the actual time taken plus the tipping
fees and any  environmental or other charges we have to pay.       But no VAT.
BEWARE !!
When comparing websites watch out for web pages that say one thing and a page of "terms and
conditions" in small print and in another place (usually not obvious) which contradict or allow increases
in price.       Always make sure you receive written confirmation of the quote.
When comparing service and getting quotes ask the following.

Are you registered with the environment agency and have full liability insurance?

Are you local to us or based elsewhere and trying to cover a massive area (even nationwide)? One company uses
many websites implying they are based in specific towns but are really only based in one City not even in
Yorkshire.

Will one person be my point of contact and be involved from beginning to end?

Can we see testimonials from satisfied clients?  

Will you clear all the contents or are you limited to how much you can carry?

Is the quote set in all circumstances or are there any circumstances where I may have to pay more?

Do you charge VAT and is it included in quoted price?  Do you give an allowance for saleable items?

If I have to make an assessment of the size of vehicle required what happens if I underestimate?
(0ne competitors answer is " If there is any excess waste left over once the van is full we will arrange for a skip
to be delivered which we will fill for you free of charge, but you will have to pay for the skip hire and any permit
that may be necessary").

Householders Legal Duty of Care

Since the 21st November 2005, every householder in the UK has been placed under a duty to ensure that their
waste is disposed of properly, and in accordance with the law. Before this date, the duty only applied to
businesses. Every householder is now required to take reasonable measures to ensure that they only transfer
their waste to an authorised person. An authorised person is either a Registered Waste Carrier, or site that holds
a Waste Management Licence.

The duty of care was expanded to include householders to help in the fight against fly tipping. If householders
only use legitimate contractors, they can be satisfied that their waste will be disposed of lawfully. Rogue traders
will lose custom, and then be forced to act within the law, or cease trading. Householders who fail to take
reasonable measures, regardless of whether the transfer led to the waste being fly tipped, commit a criminal
offence. The maximum penalty upon summary conviction is £5,000.

When arranging any waste to be collected householders should:

Ask the contractor if they are a Registered Waste Carrier, and for their registration number
Confirm that they are registered with the Environment Agency by telephone on 08708 506 506, or online at
www.environment-agency.gov.uk/publicregister

The truthful answer is maybe or maybe not

In any form of clearance we incur costs. These are labour, transport and we pay tipping fees.
We need to recoup these costs and make a profit.

In the majority of cases the second hand value of items reduces our fees.

a) the value exceeds the costs so we pay the client
b) the value equals the costs so we remove everything for free
c) the value is lower than costs but reduces the fee in an agreed way.

Of course there may be no second hand value so no fee reduction.

So the answer to the question is it depends on the size of property, its position, and many other factors
AND the quantity, quality and value of the items inside.
Without an assessment we can't determine the value of items so any telephone quote is meaningless.

We want to give you a written binding quote so please ask us to attend for a free assessment.
