- What happens to the items you remove?
We make every effort to reuse and recycle items whenever possible, as we take our commitment to the environment seriously.
- What if the amount of stuff is more or less than estimated?
We understand that circumstances can change, so we adjust the price accordingly to match the actual size of the job.
- Which furniture and items hold value?
Antiques, art, collectibles, and high-quality designer furniture have resale value. We assist in finding good homes for other items through local initiatives.
- Why can’t you provide an exact price over the phone?
We need to assess the job in person to determine factors such as the time required, any resale value, and recycling or disposal costs. We can, however, provide estimates over the phone.

The cost is influenced by three factors: labour, disposal/recycling costs, and item resale value. We calculate the price after evaluating the job, and our prices include all associated costs.

You should consider choosing us for our professionalism, reliability, competitive pricing, and adherence to regulations. We’re also committed to eco-friendly practices in the North East.
