Why the waste carrier licence matters to you
If you pay someone to take waste away and it ends up fly-tipped, you can be held responsible. Householders have a legal duty of care to pass waste only to a registered waste carrier, and councils can issue a fixed penalty of up to £600 to a householder who fails to check. You can check any carrier on the Environment Agency's public register. Gordon's holds the correct waste carrier licensing, and the guide to checking a waste carrier explains what to ask.
After the clearance
A clearance is often the first step rather than the last. Once a garden is cleared it can be levelled and turned into a new lawn, beds and borders, have new fencing put in along the boundary, or be kept tidy with regular garden maintenance. Property clearances often lead into renovation and decorating work.

Clearances in Trowbridge and across Wiltshire
Gordon's Home & Garden provides garden and property clearances from a base in Trowbridge. With the correct waste carrier licensing, everything that is taken away is removed and disposed of responsibly, so you are not left with bags and piles to deal with afterwards.
Garden clearances
Overgrown gardens are one of the most common jobs, and plenty of projects begin with a garden nobody has touched in years. Overgrowth, green waste and unwanted garden items are cleared and taken away, leaving the space ready for a fresh start, whether that is new turf, raised sleeper beds, a patio or simply a tidy garden you can use again.
House and property clearances
Household items, rubbish and general property clearances are all covered. Whether you are preparing a property for sale, dealing with an empty property or getting a home ready for renovation or letting, unwanted items are removed, loaded and disposed of safely and efficiently.
Sheds, garages and outbuildings
Cluttered sheds, garages and outbuildings can be emptied and cleared so you can reclaim the space, with all the loading and carrying handled for you.
Waste removal
Post-renovation waste, green waste and general rubbish can be removed as a one-off job or as ongoing clearance work, depending on what you need. The aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible, handling the hard work from start to finish.
Areas covered
Clearances are carried out in Trowbridge and the surrounding Wiltshire towns, including Bradford-on-Avon, Melksham and Westbury. Somewhere else in Wiltshire? Get in touch and Matt will let you know if he can get to you. Quotes are free, and all work is fully insured.

Matt did a fantastic job of levelling my porch floor then tiled it and put skirting around also put in a window cill. He was very professional, polite and cleaned up after himself. I would highly recommend him and will undoubtedly be using him again for any future work I need doing. Great maticulous work.
Just had my garden transformed by Matt and his worker Mat, they worked solidly for 4 days and did an amazing job, they are really lovely people, kind, respectful, and really hard working. I have no hesitation about recommending them to anyone. Five star plus rating from me.
