Job details
Project overview
This job concerned a one-bedroom cottage in Islington, N1, where the goal was to prepare the cottage for handover without removing fixtures. This job is documented in houseclearance.co’s internal job records with a price of £1,040.
For a job like this, the person authorising the work needs to approve a room-by-room keep/remove list before loading starts, so nothing needed is taken by mistake.
Items removed and quantity
The inventory for this job covered:
- A double bed
- Table
- Chairs
- Shelving
- Small appliances
- Loft-stored boxes
- A wardrobe
Taken together, this amounted to an estimated 9–12 cubic yards of material. Fitted fixtures, hazardous waste, paint and rubble were excluded without a separate assessment, along with wall-fixed units and building rubble – items a project like this typically handles separately rather than through a house clearance.
Access and logistics
Handling this job needs to account for a narrow hallway and low doorway, together with parking permit considerations. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions.
How the clearance was completed
Bulky furniture in the inventory may need to be safely disassembled where necessary to work within the access conditions above; items outside the agreed scope – wall-fixed units, hazardous materials and building rubble – are left in place.
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
This job's price paid was £1,040. That figure reflects the estimated 9–12 cubic yards of material removed, the possible need to disassemble bulky furniture, and the access conditions noted above (a narrow hallway and low doorway; parking permit considerations), which affect carry distance and loading time.
