A professional domestic loft clearance follows a structured process, from initial contact through to final waste disposal and paperwork. Here's what happens:
- Booking and assessmentYou describe the loft contents and access (is there a hatch, ladder, loft boards?). We confirm a date and give you a time window. No deposit needed upfront.
- Arrival and safety checksThe team inspects the loft for hazards—loose boards, low headroom, asbestos awareness of any friable insulation, and structural stability. We bring our own ladder and harnesses if needed, following BS 1129 ladder safety standards.
- Sorting and removalSalvageable items (furniture, electronics, books) are separated. Scrap metal, timber, plasterboard, and general waste go into bags or our vehicle. Fibrous insulation disposal follows environmental regulations for any suspect materials.
- Loading and transportAll waste leaves your property the same day. Nothing is left on the drive.
- Payment and paperworkYou pay on completion. We provide a waste transfer note confirming legal disposal at licensed facilities.
Total time depends on loft size and contents density, typically 2–4 hours for a standard attic clearance.
