Insurance and Safety — Feltham House Clearance

At Feltham House Clearance we prioritise your safety and property protection by operating as a fully insured rubbish company. Our commitment to robust insurance, rigorous staff training and comprehensive health and safety processes ensures every clearance is managed professionally, responsibly and with minimal disruption. Whether you choose an insured waste removal company or our dedicated clearance team, you can expect clear evidence of cover, transparent procedures and consistent on-site standards.

Public Liability Insurance: Why It Matters

Proof of public liability is non-negotiable when engaging an insured rubbish removal provider. Our public liability insurance protects homeowners, tenants and third parties against accidental damage or injury that might occur during a clearance. This cover includes repairs to property, medical costs and third-party claims. We keep up-to-date policies and produce documentation on request so clients can verify that the insured clearance company they hire has the appropriate limits and endorsements to match the scope of work.

Insurance Details You Should Expect

When evaluating an insured clearance specialist, look for explicit details such as the policy limit, insurer name and cover start and end dates. Feltham House Clearance routinely provides this information and explains how our public liability insurance integrates with contract terms. Being an insured rubbish company means we not only hold cover but also manage claims processes and maintain records to ensure continuity of protection from the first site visit through to final disposal.

Our approach to safety extends well beyond insurance documentation. We enforce a structured staff training programme that covers handling techniques, manual handling legislation, safe lifting, waste segregation and hazardous materials awareness. Every operative completes induction training and periodic refreshers so the team that attends your clearance operates under the same high standards whether they are working in a domestic home, communal block or small commercial site.

Training also incorporates practical risk recognition and communication skills. Our team is trained to identify potential hazards—unstable furniture, protruding nails, asbestos risk indicators and sharps—and to alert clients where specialised remediation is required. An insured waste removal company should demonstrate both insurance cover and a documented training regime; we provide both, combining policy protection with competent, competent people in the field.

PPE and on-site equipment are cornerstones of our operational safety. Staff arrive equipped with the correct personal protective equipment for the task, including high-visibility clothing, steel-toe boots, nitrile gloves, dust masks or respirators and eye protection. We also use mechanical aids such as trolleys, lifting straps and compact stair climbers to limit manual handling injuries. In addition to comfort and efficiency, the PPE we use reduces risk exposure and supports safe working practices for every job.

A transparent risk assessment process is essential to a professional clearance. Before any work begins, our surveyor or lead operative completes a written risk assessment that documents the hazards, evaluates the level of risk and specifies control measures. This document outlines safe systems of work, identifies zones to be cordoned off if necessary, and sets out emergency procedures. For complex jobs our risk assessment is reviewed with the client and adapted to site-specific conditions so everyone understands the controls in place.

Risk assessments form part of a continuous safety cycle: assess, plan, act and review. After completion we record any incidents and near misses, then update our processes and training to prevent recurrence. This dynamic approach is why an insured clearance company should not only have cover, but also a proactive risk management culture. Our paperwork and audit trails give clients confidence that health and safety is actively managed rather than being a static compliance exercise.

Finally, documentation, compliance and responsible disposal practices underpin every clearance. We maintain waste transfer notes and disposal records to demonstrate that rubbish is handled in accordance with environmental law. As an insured rubbish company we combine robust insurance, formal staff training, proper PPE and a meticulous risk assessment process to safeguard people, property and the environment throughout every stage of the clearance.
