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 County Durham Results Of Recycling Survey

House Clearance Durham is currently collating the results of the first private county Durham survey on the packaging content of collected household waste, which has shown that tonnes of waste packaging is thrown away each year in County Durham. The survey involved hand-sorting waste from 250 households, and confirmed the suspicion that households using wheeled bins produce significantly more waste for collection than those using traditional dustbins or plastic sacks. The mean amount of waste collected per week from a household with a wheeled bin was 18.8 kg, compared to a household using plastic sacks, which produced 12.4 kg of waste. The wheeled bins users waste also produced more packaging waste by weight, although it was lower as a proportion. It is worth taking a look at the preliminary results of the survey.

Comparison of wheeled bins and plastic sacks in the UK (kg per week)

mean waste per household—-(wheeled bin)18.8—-(plastic sack)12.4
mean packaging fraction —-(wheeled bin)3.1 —-(plastic sack)2.4
mean non-packaging —-(wheeled bin)15.7—-(plastic sack)10.0

Another survey looked at by House Clearance Durham is on how socio-demographic and behavioural factors affect the amount of packaging waste thrown away by households. John Graham from House Clearance Durham said, “These figures are the most accurate that have ever been produced and provide a sound basis on which future waste policies can be made. Subsequent surveys will enable House Clearance Durham to refine these figures even further allowing for example for seasonal variations. They will also act as a check on how much packaging waste has been successfully diverted from collected household waste.”
