You can find out if a company has a waste carrier licence by checking the gov.uk links below and typing in the business name. Quite simply, if you don’t find a company’s name in the register, they don’t have a licence to clear your property.

About Us
Your local house clearance experts, Essex House Clearances, is a small locally based and locally-run business providing property clearance services across most of Essex, including the Chelmsford, Braintree, Brentwood and Colchester regions, plus all surrounding areas. We take pride in offering a reliable, friendly, efficient and personal service to local property owners, property agents and landlords alike.
We have extensive experience of all types of local property clearance, so whether you need a ‘normal’ house clearance, probate clearance or need a commercial property clearance, we can help quickly and efficiently.
There can be many reasons for a property clearance and we’re experienced enough to know how to deal with them all. Probate clearance – a great many clearances are needed after the passing of a family member and our teams always try to be as flexible, tactful and compassionate as possible in such cases. We’re able to work either with yourself or your appointed agents or keyholders to ensure everything is done in the least disturbance.
We’re often asked to clear properties that have become over-filled due to hoarding and this does not present us with a problem. It may take a little time to clear a genuinely over-filled property but we are accustomed to it.
A large percentage of the local property clearance work we undertake comes from private property owners and personal reccommendation, but it’s worth saying that we also offer our services to letting agents, estate agents and legal representatives who need our assistance. We also have a referral policy for those interested in working with us on a regular basis.
Recycle not landfill
Regardless of the type of property we are asked to empty, we try to recycle as much as possible. When we undertake a property clearance, any unwanted furniture that is still good enough to use will be donated to deserving local causes and charities where possible, The same applies to household items such as electrical good, clothes and a whole range of things. Once we finish sorting through the items we remove, anything which has no realistic chance of being reused is taken to a commercial recycling centre where it will be broken down into its basic components to ensure everything possible is recycled. We’re your local property clearance experts, providing a friendly, efficient, reliable and trustworthy service at all times. As an added bonus, we offer service with a smile, totally free of charge!
