Modern Slavery & Ethical Conduct Statement
Last updated: October 2025
1. Introduction
DrClear House Clearance is fully committed to operating ethically, with integrity, and in full compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations, supply chain, and partnerships.
Although we are a small, family-run business, we recognise our responsibility to prevent and combat any potential exploitation connected to our work.
2. Our Business
DrClear House Clearance, owned and operated by Krzysztof Szczesny (Chris), is a licensed waste carrier (Licence No. CBDU549477) providing professional property clearance services across Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley, and the wider West Midlands.

Our work involves collaboration with recycling facilities, disposal sites, suppliers, and local charities.

We are committed to:
Ensuring that everyone working with or for DrClear House Clearance is treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.
Promoting ethical behaviour and transparency across all levels of operation.
Ensuring our suppliers and subcontractors share the same values and comply with UK labour laws.
Supporting human rights and equality of opportunity.
We do not use or condone:
Forced, bonded, or involuntary labour

Local charity partners
We expect all partners and subcontractors to:
Comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Health & Safety at Work Act 1974

We take practical steps to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our supply chain:
Conducting informal due diligence when engaging new suppliers.

Ensuring any subcontractors are legally employed, paid fairly, and properly insured.
If we identify any supplier or partner acting unethically, we will immediately review and, if necessary, terminate the relationship.

We encourage everyone to report any concerns about potential exploitation or unsafe working conditions, either internally or to relevant authorities.
