Whether you are sorting a parent’s Victorian house in Harborne or emptying a Moor Pool home before a sale, SRW Services will take the whole job off your hands. We provide the careful house clearance Harborne homes call for, doing the lifting and the clearing so you can focus on what comes next.
We offer a free home visit before quoting, and on the day a team of usually two or three people, more for larger properties, carries everything out and tidies and sweeps up afterwards.
Clearing a loved one's home can be hard, so we listen carefully to what you want and handle every belonging with respect. The team is polite and considerate with your family and your neighbours alike.
We are licensed waste carriers and fully insured, and all of our work is guaranteed, so you know exactly where you stand from the moment you say yes.
We offer free quotes and a free home visit before quoting. Unlike hiring a skip, there is no permit to arrange or collection to wait for, as we carry everything out.
SRW Services is a family run house clearance business, established in 1999. Our base on Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall is about 11 miles from Harborne, a suburb and Birmingham City Council ward roughly 3 miles south west of Birmingham city centre. The suburb has Edgbaston to the east, Selly Oak to the south and Quinton to the west, with Bearwood and Warley, both in neighbouring Sandwell, to the north. We clear single items, a few rooms or entire properties, whether that means a house, flat, apartment, bungalow or office, as well as garages, sheds, lofts and gardens.
Most of Harborne’s Victorian housing is found around the High Street, and the suburb also has early 20th century homes. Older properties like these can hold years of belongings in every room, loft included, so we allow enough time to work through the house properly. Around St Peter’s Church and Old Church Road, the Harborne Old Village conservation area keeps its winding village roads and mid 19th century brick cottages, so checking access and a loading spot beforehand is essential.
About 300 metres north of the High Street is Moor Pool, a garden suburb and conservation area of semi detached houses, terraces of four, six and eight houses, and three two storey blocks of flats. Ravenhurst Road is the main route through the estate, but the council’s conservation area appraisal notes that most of its roads are narrow with grass verges, so parking is only possible on one side. We plan where the van can wait and allow for carrying items further, particularly from upstairs flats.
North of Moor Pool there is 1930s housing, and after the First World War about 350 houses were built on the Tennal Hall Estate at nearby Tennal. With interwar homes like these, we ask early on about outbuildings and garden space so nothing is overlooked.
On the day, the team arrives, usually two or three people, with more for larger properties. We begin with a quick walk round together to confirm what you are keeping, what can be donated, what can be recycled and what needs disposing of, and anything to be kept is set aside before lifting starts. Bulky furniture, appliances including fridges, garden waste and general household rubbish are then carried out and loaded with care. Suitable items go to charity, as much as possible is recycled, and the remainder is taken to licensed or registered waste transfer stations, helping keep waste out of landfill. When the last room is empty, we tidy and sweep through so the property is left clear and ready to hand over.
It depends on the size of the property, how full it is and how easy it is to load. A flat or a few rooms is a smaller job than a full Victorian house with a loft and garden, and on Moor Pool’s narrow roads the walk to the van can add carrying time.
That is not a problem. The clearance can be arranged with whoever is looking after the Harborne property for you, such as a relative who lives closer, and they can join the team for the walk round at the start of the day so your wishes are followed while you are away.
If you can, yes. Important documents, photographs, jewellery and keepsakes are best removed or gathered in one room before the day. In older Harborne homes it is also worth checking the loft, drawers and the backs of cupboards. If there is something you have not found yet, mention it at the start so the team can look out for it.
Yes. Probate clearances often involve several people, and we are happy to deal with the executor or the family’s solicitor. We agree in advance who makes the decisions, so the clearance of an Old Village cottage or a large family home is carried out as agreed and nobody is left unsure about what has gone.
Yes. For a flat or a house near the High Street, we can clear furniture, appliances and anything left behind by previous occupants, along with rubbish from the garden or shed, so the property is ready to show and let.
Clearing a property in Harborne with SRW Services comes down to three straightforward steps, whatever the size of the job.
Get in touch with the address and a rough idea of what needs clearing, including anything in the loft, shed or garden, and we will give you a clear quote for the work.
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a date that works for you and anyone else involved, such as other family members or an executor. We also confirm parking and access.
When the date comes round, we clear the property room by room, exactly as planned, and the work carries on until everything in your quote has gone, with nothing left for you to lift.
Our house clearance service covers whole properties as well as single rooms, and we also offer flat clearance, garage clearance and garden clearance for homes in Harborne. For calm, unhurried help after a loss, see our bereavement property clearance. Smaller loads are handled through rubbish clearance, and local businesses can ask about office clearance. Several of these can be combined into one job, so a house, its garage and the garden are cleared together.
Harborne is part of the wider area we serve for house clearance in Birmingham, alongside neighbouring Edgbaston, Quinton and Selly Oak. To talk through your clearance, contact SRW Services.
