Selly Oak takes in the dense terraces of Bournbrook, many of them shared student houses, and the large villas of Selly Park. SRW Services is here for landlords between tenancies, executors and families who simply need more room. We provide house clearance Selly Oak households can rely on, with one careful team handling the whole job for you.
We plan every job in advance, so our team arrives knowing which rooms come first and what is staying.
Neighbours are never far away in a Selly Oak terrace, so we work tidily and considerately while we load. Inside, we treat your home and your family's belongings with care and respect.
We are licensed waste carriers, so any waste we take away goes to licensed or registered waste transfer stations, and the business is fully insured. All our work is guaranteed.
The home visit and quote are free, and we can clear a few rooms, part of the house or the whole property. Unlike hiring a skip, there is no permit to arrange and no collection to wait for.
SRW Services is a family run house clearance business, established in 1999, with fully qualified staff who take on homes of every size. Our base on Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall is about 12 miles from Selly Oak, which sits comfortably within the area we cover.
Selly Oak is a suburban area in south west Birmingham. Bristol Road and Pershore Road are its main routes, and the crossroads where Bristol Road meets Oak Tree Lane and Harborne Lane marks the middle of Selly Oak. Edgbaston and Harborne border it to the north, with Weoley Castle and Bournville to the south.
Most of Selly Oak went up in the late Victorian and Edwardian years as small working class terraces, where bulky furniture needs careful handling. Bournbrook’s terraces, built from about 1890, sit beside the main University of Birmingham campus, and a council report quoted Guild of Students research suggesting that up to 85% of them were being let as shared houses (HMOs). For landlords, the gap between academic years can be a natural time for a clear out, when one house may hold several bedrooms of furniture and whatever tenants left behind.
Between Bristol Road and Pershore Road, Selly Park is different again. Its conservation area is known for large houses in big gardens, with Georgian, Victorian and Arts and Crafts villas alongside interwar and post war homes, so clearing one for probate or a sale can take in lofts, outbuildings and gardens as well as the house. Off Pershore Road, the Selly Park Avenues conservation area covers the red brick Edwardian terraces of First to Fourth Avenue and Sir Johns Road, where a clearance has more in common with a Bournbrook terrace than with a Selly Park villa. With student lets, small terraces and large villas so close together, each Selly Oak clearance is planned around the property in question.
On the day, a team of two or three people usually arrives, with more for one of the bigger Selly Park houses. We start by setting aside whatever you want to keep, then go through everything else with you: suitable items go to charity, as much as possible is recycled to save it from landfill, and the remainder goes to licensed or registered waste transfer stations.
Bulky furniture, fridges and other appliances are handled by the team, along with whatever comes down from the loft or out of the garden, so nobody in your family has any heavy lifting to do. Once the rooms are empty, we sweep up and tidy before we leave.
That depends on how full the diary is. Same day visits are sometimes possible, but we cannot promise one, so it is worth getting in touch early. If you let a Bournbrook shared house, tell us as soon as you have the tenants’ leaving date, so we can try to plan the clearance for the gap before the next tenancy starts.
Yes. We help owners and estate agents clear properties for sale, either emptying the house completely or taking out the clutter so the rooms show well for photographs and viewings. For a Bournbrook terrace that has been a shared let, emptying every bedroom helps buyers see it as a family home again.
An executor or the family’s solicitor can arrange it with us directly. We work with both on bereavement and probate clearances, so either can be our main point of contact, agree the quote and set the date. Relatives who live further away are spared repeated trips to Selly Oak, which matters most when the house has a loft, outbuildings and a big garden to clear as well.
We cover every part of Selly Oak, including Bournbrook, Selly Park, Ten Acres, the Selly Park Avenues and the streets around Selly Oak Park and Lodge Hill Cemetery. We also cover Weoley Castle, Shenley Green, California and Moor Green, which share the B29 postcode district with Selly Oak.
There is no need. It helps to point out anything you definitely want to keep, either before the day or when we look round, but bags, loose items and furniture can all be left as they are. The same applies to a loft full of boxes or a packed shed in any Selly Oak home, from a late Victorian terrace to one of the 1930s houses next to Selly Oak Park.
Clearing a home in Selly Oak comes down to three straightforward steps, with nothing moved until you have agreed the quote and the date.
Get in touch and tell us what needs clearing. We arrange a time to look round the whole property, outside space included, and then send you our quote.
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a date that suits you, fitting in with any tenancy, sale or probate deadline wherever we can.
Our team arrives on the agreed day and works through the property room by room, loading the van as each space is emptied, until everything we agreed to clear has gone.
Our house clearance service covers houses and bungalows across Selly Oak, and our flat clearance takes care of flats and apartments. We also offer garage clearance, garden clearance and rubbish clearance, and lofts, sheds and single bulky items can be cleared on their own too. When someone has died, families and executors can turn to our bereavement property clearance, and offices are covered by our office clearance.
Selly Oak is part of the area we serve for house clearance in Birmingham, and the same team carries out house clearance in Harborne, Edgbaston and Bournville. Contact us to arrange your quote.
