10 A difficult job done well
Posted 02 December
Earlier this year, Simon and his team removed a large wooden pergola for me. It was badly installed, awkwardly sited in a corner of the garden perilously close to my neighbour's house, and the decking it sat on was rotting. The potential for things to go badly wrong was considerable, but Simon and his team did the job so neatly, carefully, and methodically that it all came down smoothly without a hint of trouble, and the area was left clean and clear without a trace of the pergola left.Verified reviewerJob location: BN1810 Collection of waste at short notice

In July this year I engaged Simon to remove a large, rotting garden shed that was very overgrown with brambles and ivy. This shed was in my back garden to which access is very restricted. Simon and his colleague arrived on the day agreed, and worked hard, methodically, and tidily to remove the shed, its contents, and the brambles and ivy. They did a very good job surprisingly quickly, and left the cleared area neat and clean. I would be happy to recommend themVerified reviewerJob location: BN1810 Great clearance service

A great service, the guy I spoke to was very helpful, professional and friendly. Organised a collection of some Scrap Metal I had in my garden, as mentioned they were really helpful and organised to collect the metal the next day. A great company would definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: PO2110 Great Service

We have been established in West Sussex area for over 10 years now. We started out as South Downs Antiques & Interiors in Barnham, West Sussex. Due to our sympathetic and professional approach to clearances, which were being requested from our customers, we took the decision during Autumn of 2018 to focus more on this side of the business. So, for the time being we no longer have a physical retail selling presence.
Our slogan is "We buy - We sell - We clear"
We offer a professional, friendly, sympathetic and free quotation on any residential or commercial clearance.
- Residential: house, flat, garage, garden, shed, attic, single items etc.
- Commercial: office, factory, pub, shop, container, storage etc.
- Licensed with the Environment Agency
- Public liability insurance
- Checkatrade vetted
All clearances are treated in the same manner. If we feel that any local charities or CIC companies can benefit from any of the furniture, interior items or Bric-a-Brac, then these shall be donated to them. Having dealt with number of these organisations over the years, we get to know which organisation would benefit from which items.
If there is any waste left, then this shall be disposed of at the appropriate recycling stations within the relevant county. We thrive on recycling the wood from the paper, the metal from the general etc. thus saving our planet and landfill sites.
January 2023 the Environment Agency introduced the POPS scheme. This is Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a group of organic compounds that have toxic properties, persist in the environment, accumulate in food chains and pose a risk to human health and the environment.
