Introducing Hunt 'n' Haul: More Than Just a Clearance Service

Hello, and welcome to Hunt 'n' Haul. If you're reading this, you might have a garage that's become a "no-go zone," a loft that's turned into a time capsule, or perhaps you're facing the heavy responsibility of clearing a loved one's home. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you found us.

My name's Michael, and I'm the founder of Hunt 'n' Haul, a garage and loft clearance service based right here in Huntingdon. We serve the town and surrounding villages across Cambridgeshire, but we aren't just here to move rubbish. We're here to help you move forward.

The Story Behind the Business

People often ask how I got into this line of work. I have a creative background in writing and acting, and I recently spent time working as a postman for Royal Mail, delivering to every corner of Huntingdonshire. I loved walking the Fens and chatting with residents, many of whom told me they felt overwhelmed by the clutter in their homes.

From delivering post to delivering peace of mind

But the real spark for Hunt 'n' Haul didn't come from a casual chat. It came from a personal experience last summer that changed everything.

My best friend's father died suddenly. He had lived in St. Ives his whole life, and over the decades, he had accumulated a life's worth of furniture, books, and memories. My friend, who is practically family to me, was grieving, and suddenly he and his sister were faced with all this stuff to sort through. I stepped in to help. We had to make difficult decisions: what to keep, what could be sold, what could be donated, and what simply had to go.

It was an incredibly difficult time, physically and emotionally. But as we worked, I realised something profound: Families don't just need "manpower" during these times. They need compassion. They need someone they can trust to handle a lifetime of memories with kindness, patience, and respect.

I realised that Huntingdon needed a service that understood this.

And so, Hunt 'n' Haul was born.

The Hunt 'n' Haul Difference

Because of that experience, I approach this work differently than the big, faceless clearance companies. I know that the objects in your garage or loft aren't just "waste." They are parts of your life.

Our process is simple but careful:

The Hunt — Before we load a single item, we work with you to identify what matters. We look for the "treasure." Things with sentimental value are set aside for you. Unwanted items with monetary value? We sell them on your behalf and return 30% of the profits to you.

The Haul — Once the treasures are safe, we clear the rest responsibly. We're Environment Agency registered (CBDU618952) and committed to zero-landfill wherever possible. We recycle, we donate, and we ensure everything is disposed of legally and ethically.

My Promise to You: I'll never rush you. I'll treat your home and possessions with respect. And I'll leave your space lighter, cleaner, and ready for its next chapter.
