From photo quote to final sweep-up: what happens when you book a collection. The best option depends on the item, the property and how quickly the space needs to be clear.
Start with photos
Photograph the whole load, not just the largest item. Include stairs, doors and the route to the vehicle.
Confirm the collection
The quote should say what is included, what may change the price and when the crew is due.
Clear and sort
The team loads the agreed items, separates useful materials where practical and leaves the cleared area swept.
QUICK CHECKLIST✓ Show every item✓ Mention heavy pieces✓ Keep wanted items separate
When a collection service is the easier choice
If you cannot lift the items, have tight access or need the space cleared on a set day, a crewed collection can save time. Send photos of the full load and route so the quote covers the work properly.
