Prompt, competitive, friendly. Great experience. Recommended

Great experience.

Contact: Sent them a request for a quote online, got a call back within an hour.

Pricing: The quote had a range, which I liked because I felt it meant they would take into account what they actually picked up rather than just charging the most they could get away. The very top of that range also matched the lowest quote I had that day from other companies. In short, very competitive price

Service: They said they would arrive between 8.30 and 10.30 the next morning (didn't get the quote until 5.30pm the night before) and they turned up at 8.10 and dealt with it all very quickly. I got a call as soon as the men were done to let me know it had gone well and inform me of the final price based on what they'd collected. Place is totally clear of everything i wanted and they offered to send me pictures to confirm.

In short. 5 stars. Great friendly service, prompt and competitive price. Recommended

I was so impressed by the prompt service (less than a day from placing my order - which was a Sunday) and the polite, helpful and professional service I received. I can honestly say I will be recommending Handyrubbish to friends and family

Job well done

I reside in Ireland and needed a collection from a house in London W12 . I booked Handyrubbish approx 3 weeks before my collection date. Two men with their van arrived at the appointed time. They did work very hard and while I believed all the items would be shifted in one load , it required a second load. Having disposed of the first load the men returned and worked just as hard and fast. At all times I was aware of the price it was costing me. While I thought that they were a touch expensive I was happy with my experience. Given that I travelled to London just to do this task, I have no hesitation recommending the company. They did the job I asked them to do.
