Modern Slavery Statement — Pinner House Clearance

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Pinner House Clearance and affiliated teams to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We declare a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. This statement applies to all services provided by Pinner house clearance, Pinner clearance services and related contractors engaged in property clearances across the region.

Our approach is grounded in transparency and continual improvement. We recognise the risk that house clearance in Pinner and neighbouring areas may involve complex sub-contracting arrangements. To address this, our company maintains clear procurement rules, mandatory contractual clauses and regular training for staff to identify signs of exploitation. The Pinner property clearance team promotes an environment where concerns are taken seriously and acted upon promptly.

We operate a zero-tolerance stance: allegations of modern slavery or evidence of forced labour will trigger immediate investigation and, where confirmed, termination of contracts with the offending supplier. As part of this stance, Pinner house clearances will pursue all available legal avenues and cooperate with relevant enforcement agencies to protect those affected and remedy harms.

Supplier engagement is a core part of our safeguards. We conduct supplier audits and risk assessments to evaluate compliance across our value chain. These assessments cover recruitment practices, pay and conditions, work hours, and the presence of recruitment fees. Suppliers are required to demonstrate that they do not use bonded labour or coercive recruitment methods.

Our supplier audits include:

• document reviews and verification of payroll and contracts,
• site visits and worker interviews where feasible, and
• remediation plans for identified issues with clear deadlines.

Audits are scheduled based on risk level; higher-risk suppliers undergo deeper due diligence and more frequent monitoring.

We require all suppliers to sign our standard anti-slavery clauses and to maintain policies consistent with this statement. Contracts include rights to audit, suspension and termination for breaches. In addition, staff involved in procurement and operations receive periodic training to spot red flags and enforce compliance. Strong governance ensures these measures are implemented consistently across all Pinner clearance operations.

We provide multiple reporting channels so workers, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns safely. Reports can be made through internal channels, directly to designated managers, or via anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are treated confidentially where possible and investigated promptly. Our reporting process includes risk assessment, safeguarding steps and liaison with specialists as needed.

How we respond: upon receiving an allegation we will take immediate steps to ensure the safety of potential victims, preserve evidence and suspend implicated parties pending investigation. If exploitation is confirmed, we will take corrective action including contract termination, restitution measures and referral to law enforcement or welfare services.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Monitoring and Review

We commit to an annual review of this statement and our operational controls to ensure ongoing effectiveness. The review will consider audit findings, incident reports, changes in legislation and best practice. Outcomes of the review will inform updated policies, training programmes and procurement procedures.
