House clearance in Hitchin

Hitchin has been a market town for a very long time, and St Mary's, the largest parish church in Hertfordshire, sits in the middle of streets that show it: timber-framed and Georgian houses round the market and the old yards, Victorian terraces walking distance from the station, and larger family houses on the roads out towards the countryside. Each has its own awkwardness. A cottage in the centre has steep, narrow stairs and a front door on the pavement, a Victorian terrace has a cellar or a loft that has been filling up for decades, and a bigger house has a garage, a shed and a garden that all need doing too. We clear them all the same way, room by room, keepsakes set aside, everything carried out by us and the rooms swept, and the price is agreed in writing first, from photos, a video or a viewing: from £349 for one bedroom. North Hertfordshire runs the district's bulky collection, but we could not read its current charges from the council's own site, so we do not quote one here. The county's recycling centres need an ePass and refuse business waste. Our price is in writing before we start, for the whole house.
