When Sixtowns Waste was asked to carry out a house clearance for a private landlord in Meir Heath, the brief was simple. Clear the property and make it safe. What followed became a clear example of how strong project management and local expertise can turn a challenging void property into a successful refurbishment.
The property had been left in a poor condition with large volumes of waste in the garden and significant internal damage. The initial clearance was completed efficiently with careful handling of mixed waste streams and full compliance. The quality of the work and the way the site was managed led the landlord to ask a bigger question. Could Sixtowns Waste manage the full refurbishment?
Although refurbishment was a new service line at the time, Managing Director Ben Trickett brought years of project management experience to the job. By working with trusted local trades across North Staffordshire, the team delivered a complete internal and external refurb. This included garden clearance, repairs and fencing, replacement windows and doors, a new bathroom and kitchen, plastering, decorating, electrical and heating works, and final finishes.
The project supported at least seven local businesses from across North Staffordshire, reinforcing a commitment to using reliable local contractors who understand housing stock in the area. Each stage was coordinated to keep the project moving and reduce the void period for the landlord.
This approach has since led to further refurbishment projects and a maintenance work for Stoke-on-Trent City Council. What began as a house clearance in Stoke on Trent has grown into a wider property maintenance and refurbishment service designed to help landlords, councils, and property managers bring void properties back into use quickly and responsibly.
Founded in 2023, Sixtowns Waste continues to focus on looking at the whole picture. Whether that starts with waste removal, house clearances in Stoke on Trent, or full refurbishments, the aim is always the same. Manage risk, coordinate the right team, and deliver work that stands up to scrutiny.
