Whether you are settling a parent’s estate in a period house in Edgbaston or emptying a mansion flat, SRW Services can take the whole job off your hands. For house clearance Edgbaston households can rely on, we clear what you no longer need and leave the property ready for a sale, a new tenancy or your own move.
Every job starts with a plan: which rooms come first, how the bulkiest pieces will come out and who on the team does what. That way the clearance moves steadily and nothing is left to chance.
Clearing a loved one's home can be emotional, so we treat belongings with respect and sort everything with you into keep, donate, recycle and dispose before anything leaves.
We are licensed waste carriers and fully insured, so everything that leaves your home is handled legally and responsibly. All our work is guaranteed, which means you know where you stand from the outset.
Your home visit and quote are free, and we clear anything from a single item or a few rooms to a whole house. No skip permit, no wait for collection: the team carries everything out.
SRW Services is a family run house clearance business, established in 1999, and every member of our team is fully qualified. Our base on Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall is about 11 miles from Edgbaston, a suburb that lies immediately south west of Birmingham city centre. The A456 Hagley Road and the A38 Bristol Road are the main routes through the area, with a railway station at each end: Five Ways in the north and University in the south. Harborne lies to the west, Selly Oak to the south and Ladywood to the north, and the University of Birmingham’s main campus sits in the south of Edgbaston.
The Calthorpe family developed Edgbaston from 1810 as a high class residential estate whose leases banned industrial and commercial building, so it has stayed mainly residential, with large houses and gardens. Edgbaston Conservation Area, first designated in 1975, is the largest in Birmingham, and its oldest homes are classical detached and semi detached houses of brick or stucco. These are large houses that can run to many rooms with sizeable gardens, so we usually send a team of two or three, with more people for larger properties.
In the area’s 1930s mansion flats and post war blocks with lock up garages, entrances, lifts and parking are shared, and we organise the loading around other residents. The Grade II listed Regency style houses on Lee Crescent call for extra care with stairs, doors and walls as each piece comes out. In Edgbaston Village, part of Greenfield Crescent is a shared surface with pedestrian only access at restricted times of day. We check the current times beforehand and load around them. Trams run along Hagley Road to the Edgbaston Village stop, and the van’s stopping place is agreed with you before the day.
On the day, we usually send a team of two or three, with more people when a property needs them. We start by going through the property with you and sorting each item into one of four groups: keep, donate, recycle or dispose. If you are unsure about something, we set it to one side so you can decide before the van leaves. What you are keeping stays put, suitable furniture and household goods are donated to charity, and we recycle as much as possible to keep waste out of landfill. Anything that cannot be reused or recycled goes to licensed or registered waste transfer stations. When the last load is out, we sweep up so the cleared rooms are left empty and tidy.
There is no single answer, because it depends on the number of rooms, how full they are and how much sits in the garden, loft or garage. A detached period house with a large garden is a very different job from a one bedroom mansion flat. That is why we visit the property for free before we quote, so we can see exactly what needs clearing.
When students move out, a shared house can be left with old furniture, bedding, kitchenware and bags of rubbish. We can clear the lot between one tenancy and the next, and if some furniture stays with the house, tell us which pieces and we will leave them in place.
Yes. Some of the nineteenth century houses near Five Ways and along part of Harborne Road have been used as offices, and we provide office clearances as well as domestic work. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving and general waste can all be cleared when you are moving premises or simply making room.
It is worth setting aside anything personal or important first, such as wills, bank papers, passports, photographs, spare keys and jewellery. In a substantial Edgbaston period house, these can be tucked away in drawers, bureaux and cupboards on every floor, so a careful look before the day saves worry later. There is no need to tidy, pack or move anything else, because the team handles all the lifting.
We can. Garages that go with post war flats can fill up over time with stored furniture, tools and boxes. We can clear one on the same visit as the flat or as a job of its own, so just tell us where it sits when you get in touch.
Here is how a clearance in Edgbaston works, in three straightforward steps that keep you in control of what goes and when.
Get in touch and tell us about the property, how many rooms are involved and anything you already know you want to keep. After we have visited, you receive a quote that sets out exactly what the work covers.
We agree a day for the clearance with you. Before then, let us know if anything has changed since our visit, such as a room or an outbuilding added to the job.
On the agreed day the team works through the property one area at a time, loading the van as each space is emptied. Once we have walked round with you at the start, you are welcome to stay or to leave us to it and check the rooms together at the end.
We handle house clearances, flat and apartment clearances, garage, shed and loft clearances, garden clearance and rubbish removal, plus office clearance for local businesses. Our bereavement and probate clearances are carried out with families, executors and solicitors. We also help landlords get rentals ready for new tenants, and owners or estate agents clear properties before a sale.
