Emptying an Acocks Green terrace near Stockfield Road or an interwar council house after a death, a house move or ahead of a sale is rarely a quick job. For house clearance Acocks Green families can rely on, SRW Services brings a friendly, practical team that takes on the heavy lifting while you deal with everything else at your own pace.
Before the day, we agree exactly what is going and what is staying, so the team arrives with a plan. Rooms are cleared in a sensible order and loading is worked out around access and parking.
We work calmly and respectfully, giving families time with personal belongings when they need it. Vans are parked considerately, shared paths and driveways are kept clear, and your neighbours are treated as politely as you are.
We are licensed waste carriers, fully insured and staffed by a fully qualified team, and all our work is guaranteed.
A free home visit means we see the real job before we quote, not a guess, whether it is a single item, a few rooms or the whole house.
SRW Services is a family run house clearance business, established in 1999. Our base on Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall is about 14 miles from Acocks Green, a suburban area and ward in south east Birmingham. The Grand Union Canal runs along its northern edge and the city boundary with Solihull lies to the east, with Tyseley to the west and Fox Hollies stretching south towards Hall Green. Warwick Road, the A41, passes through the middle, running towards Birmingham city centre one way and out towards Olton and Solihull the other, which gives our vans a direct main road in.
Acocks Green has a broad mix of housing, and each type changes how a clearance is planned. The older homes include Victorian and Edwardian houses, among them terraces from around 1900 near Stockfield Road, where carrying items down from upper floors and lofts can take more time. Large council estates followed from the mid 1920s, including the showpiece estate around Fox Hollies Park, and privately built semis went up between Douglas Road and Mansfield Road in the interwar years. Where a home like this comes with a garden, shed or garage, we can clear those on the same visit.
The Stockfield Estate, in the north of the ward, is different again. Its original concrete houses were rebuilt in phases from 1991 with courtyards and cul de sacs instead of through roads, so we check where the van can stop and how far everything needs to be carried. Some large old houses have also been replaced by small blocks of flats, where shared entrances and stairways must stay usable for other residents while we work. For homes close to The Green, where Warwick Road meets Shirley Road and Westley Road and most of the shops are found, we think about parking and loading times before the day.
On the day, we usually send a team of two or three, with more people for a larger property. If you are there, we begin with a quick walk round together to confirm the plan; either way, everything is sorted into the four groups you agreed with us: keep, donate, recycle and dispose.
Suitable furniture and household items go to charity, as much as possible is recycled, and the rest goes to licensed or registered waste transfer stations, keeping landfill to a minimum. Heavy pieces are eased round stairs, banisters and door frames. Once the last load is on the van, we tidy and sweep through so the property is left clear and ready for whatever comes next.
Let us know which floor the flat is on, whether there is a lift and any building rules we should know about. Gather anything you want to keep in one room or mark it clearly, especially paperwork, photographs, jewellery and spare keys. Nothing you have asked to keep will be taken.
Tell us when viewings start or when completion is due, and we will look at the diary with you to agree a clearance date. We help owners and estate agents clear properties for sale. Anything included in the sale, such as fitted wardrobes or kitchen appliances, stays exactly where it is.
It can. Some families prefer to take the items they want first, then have the rest cleared once decisions are made. With an interwar semi between Douglas Road and Mansfield Road, for example, we could clear any garage or shed first and clear the house itself on a later date agreed with you, so nobody feels pushed into clearing a lifetime of belongings in one go.
Methodically. In a Victorian or Edwardian house that has been one family’s home for a long time, belongings tend to gather in every room, the loft and the shed. We work through one area at a time, check anything that looks personal or important, and set aside enough time for the size of the house.
Every part of Acocks Green, with the same service throughout, whether the property is on the Stockfield Estate, close to The Green or among the streets around Fox Hollies Park and Round Pool. If the home is just over the Solihull boundary, ask and we will let you know if we can help.
Clearing a property in Acocks Green comes down to three straightforward steps, and you stay in control of what goes at every stage.
Tell us where the property is, what kind of home it is and roughly how much needs to go, and we will arrange your quote, sometimes on the same day when the diary allows. We will always be straight with you about availability.
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a date for the clearance with you, your family or whoever is handling the sale. If someone else will be letting us in, we arrange keys and access beforehand.
On the agreed day the team arrives ready to work, carries out everything that is going and loads up. You are welcome to stay throughout or simply walk through the finished rooms at the end before we leave.
Full house clearance is only part of what we do. Alongside it we offer flat clearance, garage clearance, garden clearance and rubbish clearance, plus office clearance for local businesses. Our bereavement and probate clearance service works with families, executors and solicitors. We also clear rentals for landlords between tenants, and help owners and estate agents get properties ready for sale.
Acocks Green is one of the areas we cover across Birmingham. Elsewhere in the city we clear homes in Yardley, Stechford and Edgbaston. When you are ready, contact us to arrange your quote.
