Clearing a home in Shenstone can feel like a lot to take on, whether it is a parent’s cottage near Main Street or a larger family home. SRW Services offers house clearance Shenstone households can rely on, taking the whole job off your hands so you can concentrate on the people and decisions that matter.
After seeing the property and agreeing what is to be cleared, we plan the order of work and the size of the team, so the day is organised from the start.
We treat every home with respect, are patient with families facing difficult decisions, and tidy and sweep up before we leave.
We are licensed waste carriers and fully insured, and all of our work is guaranteed. The team answers your questions plainly and keeps you informed as the clearance goes on.
The home visit and quote are free. We can clear single items, lofts, sheds, a few rooms or the whole house. We carry everything away ourselves, so there is no skip permit to arrange or collection to wait for.
SRW Services is a family run house clearance business, established in 1999 and staffed by fully qualified people. Our base on Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall is about 8 miles from Shenstone, and the A5 and the A5127 Birmingham Road give a straightforward run into the village.
Shenstone sits about 3 miles south of Lichfield, 13 miles north of Birmingham and 7 miles east of Walsall, within Lichfield District in Staffordshire. Much of the land around the village is green belt farmland. We work with families, executors, solicitors, landlords and estate agents, as well as homeowners getting ready to move.
Shenstone’s conservation area covers the old core of the village around Main Street, Church Road and parts of Pinfold Hill. Many homes here are two storey cottages of local red brick, some timber framed, built close to the road with little front garden. That usually means steep stairs and small rooms, so larger pieces need careful handling on the way down, and everything is carried straight out to the roadside. Pinfold Hill is a main route and can be very busy, while parking can be tight on Main Street and in the streets around the station, so it pays to agree early where the van will stop.
Along New Road, which runs from Station Road, there are Edwardian and inter war semis close to the station, where the same parking question applies. Holly Hill Road, Chestnut Drive, St John’s Hill and Footherley Road are lower density, with houses set in large gardens, where sheds, garages and overgrown borders can add as much to the job as the house itself. The neighbourhood plan notes a high share of residents at or near retirement age, so a clearance may follow a move to somewhere smaller.
A team of two or three people usually arrives at the agreed time, with extra hands for a larger house. Before anything leaves, we go through the rooms with you, or whoever is there for you, and sort each item into keep, donate, recycle or dispose, so anything you want to hold on to is set aside first.
Furniture and household goods in good condition are passed to charity where possible, recyclable items are separated out, and the rest goes to licensed or registered waste transfer stations, keeping as much as we can out of landfill. We work room by room and handle the heavy lifting, including fridges, garden waste and bulky pieces from upstairs. When the last load is on the van, the team sweeps through so the property is left clear and ready for whatever comes next.
Along with the village itself, we cover the scattered homes and farmhouses around it, including Footherley, Little Hay and Shenstone Woodend further down Birmingham Road. If the property sits down a long drive or a narrow lane, mention that when you get in touch so we can plan the team and access.
Yes. We do not move belongings to the new home, so it usually works best for her to move first and take what she needs. Once she has settled in, we come back and clear whatever she has left behind.
That depends on the diary when you contact us. Same day visits are sometimes possible but cannot be promised, so get in touch early if there is a completion date or the end of a tenancy to work towards. The time the clearance itself takes comes down to how much there is to clear and how easy access is, rather than the size of the house. We will give you an idea of timings once we have seen the property.
In most cases, yes. Empty, tidy rooms are easier to photograph, easier for buyers to picture themselves in and simpler to show on viewings. In Shenstone’s older cottages, some of them timber framed, a clear property also lets surveyors and buyers see the condition of floors, walls and lofts without anything in the way.
Not necessarily for the whole day. What stays and what goes can be agreed with you at the home visit. You might come for the start and return at the end, perhaps by train to Shenstone station, or ask a relative to stand in for you. Tell us what works for you and we will talk it through before the date is set.
Clearing a property in Shenstone with SRW Services follows three straightforward steps, so you know what is happening at each stage.
Get in touch and tell us about the property and what needs to go. We arrange a time to see it, note anything that affects access, such as stairs, gates or where the van can park, and then give you a clear quote.
Once you are happy with the quote, agree a date with us that suits you and anyone else involved, such as other family members or an executor. Before the day, we confirm how many people are coming and when they will arrive.
The team works through the property in the order agreed and loads everything onto the van. Before we leave, each room is checked against the plan, so you can be sure everything agreed has gone.
Alongside house clearance, we handle flat clearance, garage clearance for packed garages, sheds and outbuildings, and garden clearance for overgrown plots and large gardens. For bulky items, old appliances and general household waste there is rubbish clearance, and local businesses can arrange office clearance. Where someone has died, bereavement and probate clearance is handled sensitively and discreetly.
Shenstone falls within our Lichfield house clearance area, and the same team covers Stonnall, which shares the parish with Shenstone, along with nearby Hammerwich and Burntwood. To arrange a visit and talk through what needs clearing, contact us.
