Many people are surprised (and upset) to learn that after a loved one has passed on, their household belongings are worth next to nothing. It's unfortunately true that most commercial house clearance companies will pay very little because the transport and labour involved in a house clearance makes it unviable. We are happy to undertake complete house clearance projects, and once you have removed the items you wish to keep, we will dispose of everything else in a professional and sympathetic way. At a time of loss, it sometimes helps to know that at least your generosity could be helping others.
We would like to say a massive thank you to our donators, as we rely on the generosity of the residents of County Durham who have surplus or unwanted items particularly beds, cookers washing machines or sofas to donate. Without them we couldn't help anyone. Also we would like to say a thank you to our volunteers, as CDFHS is a volunteer run Charity without our volunteers there would not be a charity here to help the low income families and people who are in need.
By law, any upholstered items such as beds; dining room chairs and lounge furniture must carry a label on each item indicating that it complies with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988. Please check that your item has such a label. If it doesn’t we will be unable to accept it.
