Time on Site

Small flat or single‑room collections typically take 1–3 hours; a full‑house clearance or jobs with multiple stair carries usually take 3–6 hours. Factors that extend time include narrow access, long carry distances, dismantling needs, parking distance or the requirement for specialist disposal

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• do you provide a waste transfer note and where will items be taken?

• are fridges, mattresses or hazardous items accepted and what are the extra charges?

• how many operatives and what vehicle size will you send for my job?

• do you dismantle large items and is dismantling included or charged extra?

• what insurance and licences do you hold (public liability, waste carrier registration)?

• will you need parking permits or a suspension and who arranges them?

How to Avoid Surprises

• measure large items and check doorways/stair widths before booking

• clear walkways and remove fragile items from the route

• tell the trader about fridges, paint tins, asbestos or other hazardous waste in advance

• arrange parking or a suspension near the property and have payment ready for permits

• secure pets, protect floors with coverings if needed and have someone on site to confirm items to take
