At Emmaus Bristol, we offer a professional house clearance service with a difference. While many of you may be familiar with our work providing a safe home and fresh start for people who have faced homelessness, you might not know that our house clearance service plays a big role in supporting this mission.
Our house clearance service is unique because it’s run by our companions, who gain valuable work experience and skills. Companions shared with us that they enjoy doing clearances because of the unusual items that can be discovered, and that they feel good helping with reliving any stress customers can experience. Many house clearance customers are downsizing or have been bereaved and have taken responsibility for clearing a loved one’s house.
Every item we collect is either sold in our shops or recycled, with the proceeds directly supporting our charity’s work. Here’s what a few recent customers had to say about their experience:
Please can you thank the team for their efficiency and helpfulness. They were all very polite and made a stressful situation more bearable.
I would like to thank you and the crew for all your help. Everything went to plan and the guys were pleasant, polite, helpful and did a brilliant job. I will definitely point anyone I know who needs your services, in your direction.
Our staff member Malcolm organises house clearances, and said: “When you choose Emmaus Bristol to provide this service, you are helping to support people out of homelessness in Bristol by generating work experience for Companions and essential income for our charity. At the same time, our focus is on reducing landfill by reusing, recycling or upcycling as much as possible from any clearance.”
If you or someone you know is downsizing, moving, or clearing a loved one’s belongings, we’d love to help. For a quote, please contact us by emailing socialenterprise@emmausbristol.org.uk or complete an online form at www.emmausbristol.org.uk/book-us/house-clearance
