Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Mayfair

House Clearance Mayfair is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our approach to upholding human rights, setting a zero-tolerance policy for any form of forced labour, exploitation or trafficking, and describing the practical steps we take to ensure ethical, lawful practice in every aspect of our Mayfair house clearance services.

We operate as a responsible provider of Mayfair house clearance and related property clearance services. Our senior leadership team endorses this policy and integrates it into our corporate governance. All employees and contractors receive training that emphasises the importance of dignity at work, lawful employment practices and the recognition of indicators of modern slavery.

Scope and commitments

Our commitment extends beyond the immediate business to include third-party suppliers, sub-contractors and partners used in house clearance in Mayfair and surrounding areas. We apply a strict supplier code of conduct which demands transparent labour practices, lawful pay, and free choice of employment. Where necessary, we will terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to meet these minimum standards.

Zero-tolerance policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, which is embedded in our contractual terms. Any allegation or evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, or withholding of wages will prompt immediate investigation and, if substantiated, swift remedial action. This stance applies across our core activities, including furniture removal, estate clearances, hazardous waste handling and transportation services provided by our Mayfair clearance teams.

To operationalise this policy we conduct pre-engagement checks, verify the right to work documentation for all staff and require suppliers to declare their own anti-slavery policies. We also promote worker welfare through fair scheduling, clear pay structures and avenues to report concerns without fear of retaliation.

Supplier audits and due diligence

We undertake a programme of risk-based supplier audits and due diligence tailored to the nature of services provided. Audits include documentary review, site visits and interviews with staff where appropriate. Suppliers identified as higher risk receive enhanced scrutiny and must implement corrective action plans within agreed timeframes. We record findings and monitor progress until compliance is achieved.

Reporting channelsWe provide multiple, confidential reporting channels for staff, clients and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made through internal reporting lines, line managers, or via an anonymous whistleblowing mechanism. All reported incidents are treated seriously and investigated by a designated compliance officer.

We encourage anyone witnessing or suspecting exploitation to come forward. Our approach protects whistleblowers from victimisation and includes immediate steps to ensure the safety and welfare of affected individuals while investigations proceed. We record and review each case to identify systemic issues and opportunities for improvement.

Monitoring, transparency and annual reviewAs part of our ongoing commitment we publish this modern slavery statement and review our policies and procedures annually. The review covers audit results, training uptake, incident reports and supplier performance. Outcomes from the annual review inform updated risk assessments, enhancements to supplier due diligence and additional staff training where gaps are identified.
