Tips For A Successful House Clearance

July 12, 2024

Whether you’re downsizing or just wanting to get rid of clutter, a house clearance can seem like an overwhelming job when you’re faced with the prospect of it. And while they can be an intense and long experience, there is plenty you can do to help make the process as successful and streamlined as possible.


Here are some tips for a successful house clearance from the team here at Rose Removals.


Give Yourself Plenty Of Time


A house clearance can be a big task, so ensure you give yourself enough time to do it. Put a whole weekend aside, or book some time off work. If you’re being thorough, clearing a whole house might take a while! You could even break the clearance up over multiple sessions to make it seem a bit less daunting.


Keep, Donate, Recycle, Bin


The simplest way to work during a house clearance is to use categories to help you sort out all of your things. Keep, donate, recycle and bin are four of the most popular choices. You can express these categories in a number of ways, such as designating specific areas to put these items in, preparing boxes in which to put the items or colour coding with stickers/labels to easily see what is going to go where.


Utilise Local Facebook Groups & Sites


If you’d like to dispose of things but think that somebody might want them, put them up for sale or free on local Facebook groups or selling sites. If you set these items for collection you can have people come to your home and take the things away, saving you the time of disposing of them yourself.


Arrange Collections Or Deliver Yourself


Once you have decided what to do with all your stuff, you need to get rid of it! Try to arrange collections beforehand, so you’re not left with piles of stuff for days as you wait for somebody to collect it. You can also take things yourself to charity shops, recycling bins or the tip.


However, if you have a lot of stuff you might want to utilise a house clearance company such as the teams here at Rose Removals who can help you clear your house quickly and efficiently.
