A Local Dorset House Clearance Service

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 Dorset. 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 Ferndown on the outskirts of Bournemouth, and we serve the whole of Dorset, as well as Hampshire and parts of Somerset and Wiltshire. (In fact, given that the preponderance of Dorset’s inhabitants reside in Bournemouth and Poole, we originally tried to brand ourselves as House Clearance Bournemouth but Ferndown where we are based does not count as Bournemouth, in the eyes of the algorithms, and thus we now identify as a Dorset House Clearance Company. Such are the travails of marketing and ranking in 2024. However!! We are five miles from Bournemouth and Poole so we really are particularly well-positioned and very much available for house clearances in Bournemouth, {and house clearances in Poole}).

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 and can offer you something for them. Given that we have finite storage space and have to shift things pronto, we cannot expect to get the full value for an item, but we certainly take into account things of value when giving you a quote. (There are of course occasions where, for whatever reason, we cannot sell something, and it has to be given away, or disposed of - so our quotes take all these factors into account). Anyhow, 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 you need the job done further down the line, you would advise us of when you would need the job doing), and then we leave our 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.
