I’ve used Second Chances several times now and they’ve always been extremely helpful and efficient. Their staff are always very helpful and accommodating. Second Chances have a great ethos and recycle / reuse outlook so this is an amazing plus for those seeking an environmentally-conscious solution to any waste management or clearance needs. I highly recommend Second Chances and their team to anyone in need of such work being undertaken.

Scheduling Shambles

I booked 2 weeks in advance agreeing a time and a date and paying the agreed fee in advance. On the day the work was sublet to another van line who were despatched to a wrong address 10 miles away.Seven phone calls and messages initiated by me to resolve the situation resulted in that van eventually arriving at my location 6 hours late. The actual removal of the furniture from the house was careful and respectful and satisfactory. But 6 hours late means I wasted most of my day and had to cancel other appointments.No apology .No explanation.

The trader replied (on 20/09/2025)
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry for the severe delay you experienced and fully understand your frustration at how this disrupted your day. While I’m pleased you were happy with the care taken during the removal, the delays and communication issues fell short of the standards we aim to deliver. On the morning of your booking, we suffered an unexpected system failure that disrupted scheduling and caused confusion with addresses and timings. I spoke with you at 8am to advise that we would arrive closer to midday rather than 9am, but unfortunately further complications led to more delays. For this I sincerely apologise. To clarify, your job was not sublet — we used one of our trusted carrier partners, who was best located to you, to ensure the collection could still be completed. The items were then safely returned to our depot for re-homing, as agreed. I appreciate this was not communicated clearly, and that lack of explanation added to your frustration. We are reviewing our systems and communication processes to prevent this from happening again. Thank you again for your patience on the day, and for recognising the care taken once the removal was carried out.

Liam and this team were great. They provided the service quickly and efficiently. They were easy to contact and did the job well, and left my garage really clean afterwards. I will use them again and would highly recommend them.

We've used 2nd Chances for a number of jobs for our commercial property business, including the removal of general waste and removal of office furniture including desks, large cupboards, fridges, the lot! Liam at 2nd Chances has always provided a competitive price, is prompt at replying and is friendly. We'd definitely recommend them.

We would highly recommend 2nd Chances for their excellent work in clearing away a large amount of rubbish left in the front yard of the property. Neighbours had reported seeing rats but this did not deter the company from taking on the job. They were kind and friendly on the phone and nothing was too much trouble. They took before and after photos so we could see the complete transformation of the site and that the work had been done to an excellent standard. We live away from the property, so this was a great reassurance and a delight to us and the neighbours. A huge thank you to the guys at 2nd Chances!

I recently had a small mixed load of rubbish removed. This company is reliable, helpful and very polite. I have had larger pieces of work completed in the past and my experience has always been very positive. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
