Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

House Clearance Gateshead Leading The Way

After two years of looking at practical ways of increasing the level of house clearance recycling from its current level of 75%, Gateshead House Clearance companies have opened their doors to publicise their work so far. Although there was much talk and hype with recycling industry leaders being shown around a new recycling facility and statements relating to the increase in House Clearance recycling, I found it hard to pin any of the house clearance company officials down to any specific new recycling ideas especially in the area of reuse. Yes, they could tell me that they re-use clothing & decent furniture but this isn’t particularly new as we here at Northern House Clearance Gateshead have been doing this from day one. Perhaps I was hoping for too much but I did expect to hear at least one example where the house clearance industry as a whole would be able to send a previously unrecycled materialst for recycling and that the figures would add up but unfortunately I didn’t. I don’t think the house clearance companies are the ones dragging their heels. I feel the problem lies with a hesitancy within the industry as a whole to grasp the problem of what to do with unwanted carpets & mattresses. I did not get the feeling that anyone was yet out there saying I need your old carpets & mattresses to increase our recycling turnover as you may know most carpets & mattresses end up in landfill. This is where it is essential that the recyclers use their influence to create real markets for the materials being dumped.

The other fear I have with larger recycling groups is that the team in the driving seat is most definitely the big landfillers, and not the smaller recyclers. Where does this leave the recycler who is not in the loop once the department stores have tied up agreements with the landfillers? I expect the answer is “he will be put out of business”. That is not where it ends though. We would then have a recycling industry that has no freedom of thought. Those affiliated would do as they are told or they would go the same way.

Shredder feed price fall

Carpets & mattresses shredder feed prices are dropping in response to the Landfill Tax, which comes into force on 1st October. Representatives from the house clearance industry have long been predicting trouble from the £7 a tonne tax on carpets & mattress waste. Pleas for an exemption to be made for this waste, which has already had the vast majority of recyclables recovered from it, have been ignored by the Government. Therefore costs at every link in the recycling chain will rise, and the inevitable result is that low profit margin recovery could be abandoned. Refrigerator recovery seems to be the most likely loser in this respect. So, on the one hand, this new tax has been designed by the Government to increase recycling rates and thus protect the environment, yet on the other hand, some products will suffer from reduced recycling rates. The phrase that springs to mind is: ‘Actions speak louder than words’, especially when they are written on Government headed notepaper.
