Is An Edinburgh House Clearance deal best option?
If you live in Scotland and you are, for whatever reason, left the task of arranging a house clearance in Edinburgh, you will find yourself facing the disheartening prospect of having to clear a property of household rubbish and waste.
The items that can be found in an Edinburgh house clearance can range from large kitchen appliances through to lounge furniture and on to all sorts of car oils and fluids from the garage.
But you really do not have to stress yourself too much as there are a couple of quality options open to you.
The first option open to you is to hire a skip and do the work yourself.
The second option is to employ the services of the local council and have them do the uplift.
The third is to employ the services of an Edinburgh house clearance service.
Admittedly, at first glance they all offer a solution to the problem but on further investigation, one stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Let us take each one and analyse them.
When hiring a skip you will need to have enough space around your property to allow for proper placement and you may have to be prepared for damage to your garden or driveway.
Something else to consider when using a skip is that any large or heavy items that need to be removed will require assistance from friends or family and these people cannot always be expected to drop everything and come running to help you.
Not to mention the sheer logistics involved if you happen to live on anything other than the ground floor of a block of flats.
Regarding the second option, we can indeed make an appointment with the Edinburgh council but they may limit you as to the amount and type and items that are to be lifted and use guidelines that are so restrictive that you might as well just as not bother.
Saying you do make that appointment with the council, you will find that the time they pass to you is so general that it will necessitate a full day off work.
The third possibility has all of the advantages of the previous two but has the added benefit of having absolutely none of the shortcomings.
Look to some of the following from a quality clearance firm to help assist you in getting the job done.
Flexible appointment times that suits you and not them.
They must be capable of carrying out every aspect of their job quickly and efficiently.
They know of the best ways to dispose of or recycle the clearance items entrusted to them.
Take pride in their work and clear up any possible residual mess.
Possession of vehicles that allow for easy access will help maintain a cleaner working environment and means that they will not be adding to the mess.
But before you decide on what house clearance company to use, you have to decide on their suitability.
One of the main considerations must be cost, so look to either a consistently well priced firm or one that may be advertising a special offer.
The importance of professionalism cannot be overstated as they could find themselves dealing with a request to clear the house of a recently deceased member of family and sensitivity towards the situation is a must.
Environmental considerations should be at the fore front of your thoughts and a Scottish Environmental Protection Agency registered firm is a must.
What it means to you is that you will have peace of mind as being licensed by SEPA assures you that the company is capable of dealing with waste management and disposal in a safe and proper manner.
Should you fail to secure the services of a SEPA licensed operator then the consequences will that fly tipping will increase and that the environment will suffer irretrievably.It is unfortunate but the evidence of the increase of fly tipping is out there, you only have to look at certain country roads and waste grounds to see this.
