I've recently paid to have my dearly departed parents house cleared. In the loft, which is converted but with a rickety loft ladder for access, was a 4 drawer filing cabinet. How my father got it up there is a mystery but I wouldn't have wanted to be the guys bringing it down !
weirdly no - happened once and as we were getting skip after skip it wasn't worth the hassle of going back and claiming a couple of hundred quid. The experience I mentioned was for my own property .... and I wasn't going for a busman's holiday so went to my solicitor !
