    Clearing rubbish and unwanted items

    Posted 21 February

    It was time for a clear out and Simon was very helpful with advice, arrived on time and I’m looking forward to sorting more items for him to take away.

    Cleared room in care home following bereavement

    Posted 10 January

    I have used Simon's services before. He is always prompt, polite, efficient and leaves everything clean and tidy - just as is needed. I would definitely recommend, and would use again.

    Simon was very helpful with great communication. He and his team were punctual and courteous, taking great care of my property. Nothing was too much trouble. A stress free removals experience.

    Full house clearance

    Posted 23 December 2024

    I first came across Simon a year or so ago when he was clearing my neighbour's house, and I was impressed by his sensitivity and dedication to using local charities to try to reuse rather than throw out. So I had no hesitation in asking him to clear my mother's house. I was on a tight deadline with contract exchange and completion coming up in two weeks' time, but Simon started immediately and completed the clearance on time for me to hand over to the new owners. He was courteous and approachable throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending South Downs Clearance.

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.

What items contain POPs?

  • Sofas.
  • Sofa beds.
  • Armchairs.
  • Kitchen and dining room chairs.
  • Stools and foot stools.
  • Home office chairs.
  • Futons.
  • Bean bags, floor and sofa cushions.

All such items now carry a surcharge upon their weight too.

Other waste items that carry a surcharge are:

  • Mattresses
  • TVs
  • Fridges / freezers
  • Tyres
