    Recycling by caring people

    Posted 1 day ago

    I enquired on the companies website as they were local as well as offering to re-use and recycle my old furniture. I called following up my quote which was received promptly to answer any queries and booked it in with a 3 hour time slot the following week. I called the day before to add a few items which they we fine about and gave me a more specific time. On the day they arrived at that time, moved in swiftly, dismantling those bigger items and made no fuss about the extra bits left by my tenant. Thank you so much for a reliable and useful service.

    Excellent service

    Posted 07 June

    I used 2nd Chance to remove a sofa, sofa bed and king size divan and headboard. Everyone was really helpful from the office to the removal men. It was a really hot day and must have been very uncomfortable to work in. I could only give them short notice so was worried it might not happen but they turned up on time and were very polite. Thank you to all concerned.

    Decking and fencing removed

    Posted 23 May

    Another excellent job from 2nd Chance. I foolishly forgot to call and arrange a time for pickup but the staff went out of their way to arrange a pickup with another company to make sure I had my garden clear for the May bank holiday weekend. I am beyond impressed with their business ethics and service.

    John and Jayden did a marvellous job clearing some of the contents of our house because we are down sizing to a flat and needed to get rid of a lot of surplus stuff.

We provide clearance services at competitive rates, finding innovative ways to recycle and reduce waste of all kinds.

Founded in 2014, 2nd Chances has gone on to work closely with some of the leading property management companies in the country. We have collected reviews and references from our domestic customer base that highlight our professionalism and customer service which you can see in our reviews section.

We provide clearance services at competitive rates and make it our priority to ensure that we are constantly evolving with the Industry by finding innovative ways to recycle and reduce waste of all kinds.

As well as recycling and re-selling re-use, we also work closely with charity shops and re-use centres throughout London to keep costs and waste to a minimum.

* Service update: Man and Van Collections, deliveries and light removals: As of the 2nd September 2020 we have expanded our services to include light removals, we will be using a 3.5 tonne Luton with a tail lift for this type of work.


We undertake all manners of clearance work including:

  • Property
  • Event Venues
  • Warehouses
  • Offices
  • Houses
  • Flats
  • Lofts
  • Grounds
  • Building Sites
  • Storage units.


After covering thousands of miles and clearing countless tons of rubbish and refuse, it’s safe to say that no two jobs have ever been the same. We draw on our experience and training to ensure that we work to a safe and efficient standard amongst the hustle and bustle of London’s busiest boroughs. Our team are trained in manual handling and asbestos awareness.


We have grown from a local business to a city-wide operation in our time of business and aspire to be the industry leaders in front line clearance services. We make it a priority to make our turnaround time as short as possible as we understand that the need for space in London is high.

Thanks for taking the time to view our profile!
