Items removed and quantity
The inventory for this job covered:
- Armchair

- A compact sofa
- Rugs
- Packed storage boxes
Taken together, this amounted to an estimated 6–9 cubic yards of material. Fitted fixtures, hazardous waste, paint and rubble are excluded without a separate assessment.
Access and logistics
Handling this job needs to account for steep internal steps and restricted door clearance; a short pedestrian carry. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions.
How the clearance was completed
Armchair and the rest of the inventory were handled according to the access conditions noted above – steep internal steps and restricted door clearance; a short pedestrian carry. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions; fitted fixtures, hazardous waste, paint and rubble are excluded without a separate assessment.
Any reusable items are set aside for an appropriate reuse route where feasible, with the remaining waste going through authorised disposal channels.
Final cost and pricing factors
5 bids came in on this job, ranging from £695 up to £915, with the lower figure winning. The volume involved – an estimated 6–9 cubic yards of material – is a significant driver, alongside the access conditions already noted: steep internal steps and restricted door clearance; a short pedestrian carry.
