This job concerned a four-bedroom detached house in Clapham, SW4, where the goal was to separate retained items from furniture authorised for removal. houseclearance.co put the request out to 7 carriers, 5 of whom bid, and the job record shows a price of £395.

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

Taken together, this amounted to an estimated 12–16 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 multiple flights of stairs and a restricted driveway; a reserved loading space. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions.

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 £395 up to £590, with the lower figure winning.
