Lee and his team have just finished and did a fantastic job. I have no complaints and the price for what was required (garden,house,loft) was very good. … More They arrived on time and I left the house open to them whilst I went to work. Upon my return everything was cleared. I was kept contact with on issues or enquiries throughout the works. Will definitely use again if I require work after the renovation or in the future and will be refering them to anyone who is looking for a clearance company.Cheers Lee

I am not someone who normally writes reviews, but I have been so impressed by this company's assistance I feel it's the least I can do!
Being … More over 150 miles away, and having the mammoth job of clearing my late uncle's flat, I found Lee, who dealt with the whole process efficiently and professionally. The flat is on the 2nd floor with no lift and my uncle was a hoarder, but Lee moved everything including a piano and his fees were extremely reasonable for the hard work involved
Lee communicated with me the whole way and made a very stressful time, so much easier for me. I can't thank him enough and would highly recommend him.

Fabrice Ortarix ★★★★★ 8 years ago
After reading our local Community Newspaper about Lee who found during clearance some WW1 veterans medals, tracing up who it belong too so it could be … More return, quite impressive. Often company will not bother and make a capital gain. Not Lee and its clearance business. We recommended it to some friends and they were very please with the overall service Lee offered. We will too call for its service when the time come. Keep up the good work. Regards Fabrice O
Clive Maxwell ★★★★★ 9 years ago
As with many people seeking house clearance on the coast I needed to clear my mothers home fairly quickly.I chose Lee’s service with care reading enough … More reviews on Google the Checkatrade site and his own web site.clearanceservice.co.uk ticked all my boxes.I wanted a small fairly local business as I felt I’d get a more personal and friendly serviceHis quote was I felt realistic for the work involved, his team still had a lot to do to finish the job after the leaving the flat.As expected they worked cleanly ensuring even though it was a wet day that nothing was tracked inside.In fact the garage was cleaner than when my mother moved in.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation.
