Our Backstory

Over the last few years I have been given sporadic jobs from friends and acquaintances where they have asked me to move bits and bobs, or on occasion, perform a total house clearance. People that know me well know that I am reliable and that I am “the man for the job”. So back in 2022, myself and Marcus decided to bite the bullet and start a house clearance business in Bournemouth. We did some preliminary marketing and set up a provisional website, (with of course the obligatory teething problems), but since the summer of 2023 we have started to get calls, and have now been up and running properly for about 6 months. We are based in Bournemouth, and we serve primarily the Bournemouth and Poole metropolis, all quarters of Dorset and Hampshire, as well as parts of Somerset and Wiltshire. Although we are relatively new to the sector, I have also been working as a courier for over ten years, and I have provided a link to my Shiply profile, “BazTheVan”, so that you can get a clear idea of my business reputation and standards. (I am afraid that in this line of business miscommunications are rife owing to the platform I use, hence the occasional duff notes). Nonetheless, I service roughly 4000 new clients annually, of whom statistically 3986 are extremely happy, and those times where there is dissatisfaction is often for reasons totally out of my control.

How We Work - Part 1

The first point of contact is a phone call or email - you just get in touch and we go from there. One of us will come round and assess the job. Unlike a lot of companies, we factor into the quotation re-sellable goods. It’s not always easy to get the full value for an item, but we certainly take into account things of value when giving you a quote. (One reason it is not easy is because we have to shift things quickly so as not to take up storage space, and of course there are occasions where for whatever reason we cannot sell something, and it has to be given away, or disposed of). But that is our first point of contact. We will quote you for the job, pencil in when we would be able to do it, or if it is not urgent, you would pencil in when you would need the job doing, and we leave the quote with you. Hopefully you will come back to us.

We are based in Bournemouth, but are available throughout Dorset & Hampshire - Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown, St Leonard’s, Ringwood, Verwood, Wimbourne, Blandford Forum, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Dorchester, Weymouth, Swanage, Wareham, Southampton, Portsmouth, Lyndhurst, Lymington, New Milton, Winchester, Petersfield, Andover, Gosport, Eastleigh, Havant - and we also can work as far afield as Yeovil & Salisbury.

About You

We work with all sorts of people, and one common theme around clearing a house is that it often involves a death or an elderly person moving into some kind of formal care, or both. These situations can be traumatic and challenging for some people, and, if for instance you have been made executor of an estate and you live on the other side of the country, they can be a practical headache also. We have dealt with our fair share of such problems in our own lives, so we hope we can be understanding of and sympathetic to your problems and challenges in such situations. More often than not you want a problem solved quickly and painlessly, which is our remit. Of course end of life problems is not the only scenario; people need houses cleared for all sorts of reasons, some banal like the end of a tenancy, some more emotive, like a departure or a broken relationship. Whatever the reason, we are respectful of your personal feelings, your privacy, and your need to advance in your life with minimal inconvenience.
