Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearances London Commitment

House Clearances London is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our operations and to implementing and enforcing effective systems to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement applies to all employees, contractors and partners working on behalf of the company. Our house clearance services in London are delivered under a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking.

We recognise the risks associated with the house clearance industry and the wider London supply chain. Our approach to preventing modern slavery in house clearance London operations includes clear policies, robust recruitment checks, and contract conditions that prohibit exploitative practices. We require all colleagues to comply with our code of conduct and to prioritise safe, lawful working conditions.

Policy and governance: Our board endorses a strong anti-slavery stance. The company maintains a written policy that makes clear our expectations of staff, suppliers and subcontractors. For our London house clearance teams, we mandate lawful right-to-work checks, transparent payroll practices and a culture that encourages reporting concerns without fear of retaliation.

We carry out regular due diligence on suppliers providing goods and services to our house clearance operations in London and beyond. This includes pre-contract checks, ongoing performance monitoring and targeted supplier audits where risk indicators are identified. Our supplier due diligence process assesses:

• labour practices and recruitment channels;
• payment and working hour records;
• subcontracting arrangements and chain of custody for items cleared.

Where audits reveal deficiencies, we require corrective action plans, set time-bound remediation, and when necessary, terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our standards. Our procurement teams incorporate anti-slavery clauses into supplier contracts and insist on transparency across multiple tiers of the supply chain for house clearance services London-wide.

We also undertake regular risk assessments focused on geographic, sectoral and operational factors. High-risk areas trigger enhanced scrutiny, including unannounced site visits for larger contracts and verification of worker identities and working conditions.

To support safe reporting, we provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. These channels include internal reporting lines, escalation to senior management, and anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and documented in accordance with our records policy.

We invest in ongoing training for our London house clearance staff and management teams so that they can identify signs of exploitation, understand reporting routes and apply the company’s policies in practice. Training is refreshed annually and adapted to reflect emerging risks in the waste removal and house clearance sectors.

In cases where modern slavery is identified, we prioritise the safety and welfare of affected individuals, cooperate with law enforcement and relevant agencies, and provide or facilitate access to appropriate support and remediation. Where exploitation is confirmed, we will terminate commercial relationships and pursue contractual and legal remedies.
