Garden clearance
Garden Clearance in Ballyclare
Challenge
The customer had cut back several overgrown hedges and shrubs, leaving a large amount of bagged garden waste, branches and broken outdoor items. Access to the rear garden was limited to a narrow side path, so the waste had to be carried carefully through the property boundary without damaging fences or paving.
Solution
We planned the collection around the available access and arrived with a suitable van, protective equipment and the tools needed to move the larger branches safely. The waste was separated into manageable loads before being carried from the garden and secured for transport.
Result
The garden and access path were left clear and tidy, allowing the homeowner to continue with their landscaping work without arranging multiple trips to dispose of the waste themselves.
Evidence
A clear before-and-after result
Photographs: Genuine before-and-after photographs of the garden and cleared area.
“Brilliant service from start to finish. The team cleared a large amount of garden waste and branches quickly, despite the narrow access down the side of the house. They were careful around the fencing and paving, and left the garden and path spotless. It saved me several trips to the recycling centre and made it much easier to carry on with the landscaping. I’d happily recommend them.”

Furniture collection and delivery
IKEA Furniture Collection and Delivery to Templepatrick
Challenge
The customer had purchased several flat-packed furniture items that were too large to fit safely in their own vehicle. The order included long and bulky packages that needed to remain dry and undamaged during transport.
Solution
The collection details, order size and delivery access were confirmed before the job. The packages were checked at collection, arranged securely inside the van and protected from movement during transport.
On arrival in Templepatrick, the items were unloaded carefully and placed in the customer’s requested ground-floor rooms.
Result
The complete order was collected and delivered safely in one journey, saving the customer from hiring a vehicle or making several separate trips.
Evidence
Collected and delivered in one journey
Photographs: Genuine photographs showing the furniture collection and delivery.
“Excellent service from collection to delivery. The team picked up our IKEA order in Belfast, loaded everything securely and delivered it to our home in Templepatrick without any damage. The packages were large and awkward, but they handled everything carefully and placed each item in the rooms we requested. It saved us the hassle of hiring a van and making several trips. I would definitely use them again.”

Home removal
House Move from Ballyclare to Carrickfergus
Challenge
The family was moving from a two-bedroom property and needed help transporting furniture, appliances, boxes and several fragile items. Access at the starting property was restricted, and the move had to be coordinated around the customer’s key-collection time.
Solution
The move was planned using an inventory of the main furniture and an estimate of the number of boxes. A suitable removal van and two-person team were allocated, with blankets and securing straps used to protect furniture during transport.
The van was loaded in an organised order so that essential items and larger furniture could be unloaded first at the new property.
Result
The family’s belongings were transported safely to Carrickfergus and unloaded into the requested rooms. The move was completed within the planned timeframe, allowing the family to begin settling into their new home that day.
Evidence
A carefully coordinated home move
Photographs: Genuine photographs of the loaded vehicle and furniture being delivered.
“We were really impressed with how smoothly the move went. The team arrived on time, handled all of our furniture and boxes with care, and kept everything well protected during the journey to Carrickfergus. They worked efficiently despite the limited access at our old house and placed everything in the rooms we asked for at the new property. The whole move was completed within the agreed timeframe, which took a lot of stress out of the day. We would happily recommend them.”

About McKnight’s Removals Company
Local, dependable help from Mark and his team.
McKnight’s Removals Company began after owner Mark was laid off during the pandemic. What started as local man and a van work has grown into a trusted removal, delivery and clearance service built through around six years of practical experience.
Mark personally attends every job, so customers deal directly with the person responsible for their move or collection. He usually works independently, bringing in trusted colleagues, including his brother, when a job involves heavier items, a larger load or additional planning.
His approach is straightforward: arrive when agreed, communicate clearly, handle belongings carefully and leave cleared spaces tidy. From single-item furniture deliveries and waste disposal to complete house moves, every job receives the same friendly and dependable service.
Based in Ballyclare, McKnight’s Removals Company primarily serves customers throughout County Antrim. Longer-distance collections, deliveries and moves across Ireland can also be arranged by request. The business is fully licensed for waste disposal and fully insured while transporting items between premises.
