Emptying a Smethwick home can feel like a lot to take on, whether it is a Victorian terrace in Bearwood, a 1930s semi or a flat in one of the town’s high rise blocks. SRW Services offers house clearance Smethwick households can rely on, taking the job off your hands and leaving you with an empty property and one less thing to worry about.
Before the day, we agree what is going and how the work will run. A team of two or three, or more for a larger home, then works through the property room by room.
We treat every home with respect, whether it belonged to a parent or a past tenant. The team handles belongings with care and, on tight streets, plans in advance where the van will stop.
SRW Services is a licensed waste carrier with fully qualified staff, and the business is fully insured. All of our work is guaranteed, whatever the size of the job.
The home visit and quote are free. As an alternative to a skip, there is no permit to arrange and no wait for collection, and the team does all the carrying.
SRW Services is a family run house clearance business, established in 1999. Our base on Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall is about 8 miles from Smethwick.
Smethwick is one of the six towns that make up the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell, and it sits where the borough meets Birmingham. West Bromwich and Oldbury lie to the north and west, while the Birmingham districts of Handsworth, Winson Green, Harborne, Edgbaston and Quinton border the town to the south and east. We cover homes right up to the Birmingham boundary as well as those around the High Street.
Smethwick’s older streets shape how a clearance is planned here. Bearwood, in the south of the town just above the Hagley Road, is mainly Victorian terraces on the roads off Bearwood Road. Cape Hill is a late Victorian district whose street pattern was never designed for cars, and many of its streets are busy with traffic or lined with parked vehicles. On streets like these, finding somewhere for the van to stop close to the door can be the hardest part, so we work out loading well before the day.
South of the High Street, St Alban’s Road has Edwardian brick terraces on one side and 1920s houses on the other, so each house is assessed on its own rather than by the street it stands on. Galton Village is newer low rise housing, rebuilt in the 1990s, and elsewhere there are 1930s semi detached houses, modern new builds and some high rise blocks of flats, where lifts, stairs and shared hallways become part of the plan.
Clearance day begins with sorting. Working with you, or with whoever is overseeing the job, the team puts every item into one of four groups: keep, donate, recycle or dispose. Furniture and household goods in good condition are set aside to go to charity rather than to waste, and as much as possible is recycled so it stays out of landfill. Anything that cannot be donated or recycled goes to licensed or registered waste transfer stations.
Items are carried out and loaded as the work goes, and once the last load has left, the team tidies and sweeps through each room, leaving the property clear for whatever comes next.
We clear homes across the whole town, including Bearwood, Cape Hill, Rood End, The Uplands, Galton Village, Black Patch and Soho, French Walls, and the Smethwick parts of Londonderry and Warley. Properties near Warley Woods, West Smethwick Park or the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital on Grove Lane are all within reach, as are streets around the canal and Galton Bridge.
Yes. Flats in taller blocks need a little more planning, so when you get in touch let us know the floor, whether there is a working lift and where a van can stop near the entrance. If the building has rules about using the lift or moving items through communal areas, tell us and we will work within them.
Living some distance away need not hold things up. Whether the home is a terrace in Cape Hill or a newer house in Galton Village, once we have seen it the details can be agreed without you being there for every stage, including anything the family would like kept. We can also deal directly with the executor or solicitor handling the estate, so the clearance fits around the probate process rather than your travel.
Yes. A partial clearance can take out the contents of a spare bedroom, a back room or a garage, or just a few unwanted pieces of furniture. That can include the loft of an older Smethwick terrace or semi, with the rooms you are still using left as they are.
When we see the property, we look at how each large item will come out through the hallway and front door. Sofas, wardrobes and appliances are carried out by the team, with care taken over banisters, doorframes and stair carpets, which matters in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces found across Smethwick.
Getting a Smethwick property cleared takes three straightforward steps, and each one is talked through with you so you know what is happening and when.
Get in touch with the address, the rooms or outbuildings involved and a rough idea of how much is in them. Mention anything that affects access, such as parking or stairs. After we have looked over the job, you receive a clear quote and can decide in your own time.
We then agree a date for the clearance. If access needs arranging, for example keys held by a relative or an executor, we settle the details beforehand so the day itself runs smoothly.
On the day of the clearance, the team works to the plan made at the visit. The loft, garage, shed and garden are included where they are part of the job, and anything you have set aside is left untouched.
Our house clearance service handles single items, a few rooms or a whole property, alongside flat clearance, garage clearance and garden clearance. If you only need unwanted items taken away, there is rubbish clearance, and businesses can arrange office clearance. Our bereavement and probate clearance supports families, executors and solicitors. We also help landlords get a rental ready for new tenants, and help owners and estate agents prepare a property for sale.
Smethwick is part of our Sandwell house clearance area, alongside Oldbury, West Bromwich, Rowley Regis and the rest of the borough. To talk through your clearance, contact us.
