Services we write about, and what they cover

A plain-English summary of everything HaulEra does across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton, from commercial cleaning contracts to weekly bin collection.

Commercial cleaning and clearance guidance for West Midlands businesses

Facilities managers, landlords and letting agents deal with different pressures to households: lease deadlines, insurance conditions, duty of care paperwork and keeping a site trading while it is cleared. These are the points that come up most often on commercial jobs.

• Waste transfer notes are not optional on a commercial site. Ask for one on every collection and keep it for two years — it is what proves you met your duty of care if waste is later fly-tipped.
• Out-of-hours clearances usually work out cheaper overall on retail and office sites, because the crew is not working around staff, stock or customers.
• Book the clean straight after the clearance, not a week later. Dust settles, floors get marked again and you end up paying twice.
• For warehouse and industrial units, racking, pallets and scrap metal often have resale value that can be offset against the clearance price.
• Lease exits are judged on the schedule of condition, so photograph the unit before and after: it settles most dilapidations disputes quickly.

Clearance and rubbish removal questions, answered

How much does a house clearance cost in Birmingham?

Prices depend on volume, access and disposal weight rather than room count. Single items are the cheapest band, part-house clearances sit in the middle and full probate clearances at the top. Send photos and you get a fixed price that does not change on the day.
