Why Charlotte started CL Clearances

The business was built after Charlotte helped a friend with a shed disposal and saw the same problem repeating across the area: people needed items removed, but didn’t have the time, the means, or a suitable vehicle to do it safely and legally.

That gap wasn’t just practical — it was personal. Many clearances happen during stressful moments, including loss and bereavement, when clients need a steady, respectful service that keeps things moving without adding pressure.

CL Clearances now provides waste clearance support that’s designed to be reliable from first contact to final sweep-up.

That origin translates into practical benefits:

  • Clear communication before work starts

  • A calm approach in difficult situations

  • A service that’s organised, not rushed

  • A finish that leaves the space usable again

Charlotte Leighton

Charlotte Leighton is the founder and the person clients speak to when arranging work.

That direct contact keeps the process efficient:

  • Questions get answered quickly

  • Access details and timing are confirmed properly

  • The job stays aligned with what you actually need removed

You can reach the team during working hours:

🕒 Mon–Fri: 8am–5pm

🕒 Sat: 8am–12pm

Licensing & compliance (kept simple)

Clearance work only makes sense when it’s handled legally and responsibly.

  • Waste Carriers Licence: CBDU291452

    this means your waste clearances is covered by a registered carrier, reducing the risk of improper disposal coming back to you.

If you’re a landlord, homeowner, or business arranging a clearance, that licence is a practical safeguard — it shows the clearance is being handled through the right channels.

How work is approached

Clients usually come to CL Clearances because they want the job done without the usual back-and-forth.

The approach is straightforward:

  • Listen first

    understand what needs removing and any constraints (access, timing, neighbours, sensitive items).

  • Quote clearly

    no-obligation quotes so you can make a decision without pressure.

  • Remove efficiently

    keep the site safe and workable while items are being cleared.

  • Leave it tidy

    the goal is a space you can use again immediately.

This is a service you can rely on when you need a clearance handled properly — whether it’s a single item or a full property.
