Kensington House Clearance — Insurance and Safety

At Kensington House Clearance we prioritise safety, compliance and peace of mind. As a fully insured rubbish company operating across domestic and commercial sites, we combine robust insurance cover with rigorous safety systems so clients can rely on an experienced, responsible insured waste removal company. This page outlines our public liability position, staff training standards, personal protective equipment (PPE) policy and the practical risk assessment process we follow on every clearance.

Public Liability Insurance: What We Carry

Our public liability insurance is a core part of being an insured rubbish removal company. We maintain high-limit cover that protects clients and members of the public against accidental injury or property damage resulting from our activities. Having this cover means that if an incident occurs during a house clearance or waste collection, there is a clear, insured route for resolution rather than leaving the customer exposed.

Cover details: our policy provides comprehensive protection, tailored to the risks associated with household clearances, bulky waste removal and light demolition work. Typical elements include:

• Public liability for third-party injury and property damage
• Employers’ liability to cover staff if they are injured while working on your property
• Loss and damage cover for items handled under contract where appropriate

Staff Training: Competence at Every Job

We invest in ongoing training so every team member meets the standards expected of a professional insured waste disposal company. Training covers manual handling, safe use of containment and lifting aids, correct segregation of recyclable and hazardous materials, and customer-aware working practices. All staff complete induction training and regular refresher courses to keep competence current.

PPE and Safe Clothing

Personal safety equipment is mandatory on all calls. Wearing the right PPE reduces incident risk and is a non-negotiable part of our operational culture. Our PPE standards include:

Mandatory PPE: hi-visibility vests, protective gloves, steel-toe safety boots, dust masks where appropriate, eye protection and hard hats for any site with overhead risks. PPE is supplied by us and replaced on a scheduled basis. We also document PPE checks so the entire team remains compliant with health and safety regulations and our own company standards.

Risk Assessment Process: Systematic and TransparentEvery job is assessed before work begins. Our risk assessment process is designed for clarity and to reduce surprises on the day of collection. The approach used by our insured rubbish company is methodical and recorded, ensuring both safety and insurance compliance.

Typical stages in our on-site risk assessment include:

• Initial site survey to identify trip hazards, unstable items, hazardous materials and access constraints
• Identification of required PPE, machinery and additional labour
• Selection of the appropriate disposal route and confirmation that waste streams comply with current regulation
• Preparation of a simple method statement outlining the safe sequence of work

Implementation and monitoring: once a plan is agreed, supervisors make sure the team follows the method statement and adapt to any changing conditions. This documented approach supports our role as an insured junk removal provider and simplifies any insurance follow-up should an incident be reported.

Site Safety and Equipment Maintenance Safe working requires attention to tools and machinery. We maintain a scheduled maintenance regime for vehicles, trolleys, lifting straps and power tools. Pre-shift equipment checks are carried out and logged so our status as an insured waste removal company is backed up by demonstrable asset care.

Waste segregation and legal disposal: our teams separate recyclables, general waste and controlled items. Hazardous materials are identified during the assessment and handled according to the law. Working with licensed transfer stations and authorised disposal facilities ensures that every load is tracked and handled in line with environmental and insurance requirements.

Incident response and continuous improvement: we have clear emergency procedures, an incident reporting system and a programme of internal audits. If an event occurs, our staff follow a step-by-step response and we co-operate fully with insurers to resolve claims quickly. Beyond immediate response, each incident feeds back into training and process improvements so that our position as a trusted insured waste disposal company continues to strengthen.
