At L H Clearances, we often say that we don’t just move “stuff”—we help people move forward. As a father-and-daughter team, we understand that behind every pile of garden waste or old shed is a story, and sometimes, those stories are deeply personal.
Recently, we were called to a home in the Hertfordshire/Essex area to help a lovely lady named Margaret.
A Meaningful Mission
Margaret reached out to us for a garden clearance, but this wasn’t just a standard tidy-up. Her late husband had spent years collecting various items in the garden and shed—his “treasures” and projects. Before he passed, it was his specific wish that Margaret clear the space so she could enjoy the garden without the burden of maintaining or looking at the clutter he had accumulated.
It was an emotional task for Margaret, and we felt privileged that she trusted Lee and Laci to handle it.

How We Helped
Garden clearances can be physically demanding, but when they involve a bereavement, they require a different kind of care. Here’s how we approached Margaret’s job:
-
Sensitivity First: We worked closely with Margaret to ensure that nothing of sentimental value was accidentally removed. We took the time to listen and move at a pace she was comfortable with.
-
Complete Transformation: We cleared the old garden furniture, weathered structures, and the various items that had been tucked away for years.
-
The “L H” Finish: As with all our jobs across Hertfordshire and Essex, we didn’t just load the van and leave. We swept the area and left the garden tidy, so Margaret could look out her window and see a clear, peaceful space.

Why Choose a Family-Run Business for Probate Work?
Handling a loved one’s possessions is never easy. Many of our clients find that “big” national companies can feel a bit clinical or rushed. Because we are a family-run business, we bring:
-
Respect: We treat every item as if it belonged to our own family.
-
Patience: We understand that these jobs can be emotional and we never rush our clients.
-
Reliability: We show up when we say we will, taking one more stress off your plate
