Every clearance is different, so it helps to start with the situation you are in. If you are dealing with the home of someone who has died, our bereavement clearance and probate clearance services are designed to be gentle, unhurried and organised, with keepsakes and paperwork set aside for the family. If you simply need a whole property emptied, our full house clearance covers everything from the attic to the shed.
Smaller jobs are just as welcome. You might only need a loft cleared, a garage emptied, a garden tidied or a few bulky pieces taken away through furniture removal or rubbish removal. Landlords and tenants can use our end-of-tenancy clearance, businesses can ask about commercial clearance for offices, shops and storage units, and we also help with homes that have become overwhelming through hoarding clearance.
If you are not sure which service fits, do not worry. Send us a few photos by WhatsApp on 07898 719 509 and we will suggest the simplest option.
Working around your timetable
Some clearances are planned months ahead, others arrive suddenly with a house sale, a tenancy ending or a family emergency. We like at least 48 hours' notice and most people book a week or two ahead, but if your timeline is tight, tell us at the start and we will do our best to help. We would rather be honest about what is possible than promise something we cannot deliver.
What every clearance includes
- A free, no-obligation quote based on photos or a visit.
- A friendly team arriving at 9am on the agreed day, with a van that holds around 1.5 tonnes.
- Clearance of whatever you need, including food from the cupboards.
- Disconnection of standard appliance connections and lifting of carpets if needed.
- Sorting of every item, with usable goods donated or reused and materials recycled.
- Paperwork, photos, valuables and keepsakes set aside for you on request.
- A tidy property at the end, with keys returned if we collected them.
You can read more about the process on our how it works page, and see how pricing is worked out on our house clearance prices page.

Five simple steps to a clear property
No fuss and no surprises – here’s what happens from your first call to the moment you get the keys back.

- 2

Based on the volume and access – no hidden extras.
- 3
Pick a date
Around 48 hours’ notice is usually all we need.
- 4
We clear, you relax
We arrive at 9am, keys can be collected for you.
- 5
Donate & recycle
Usable items go to charity, the rest is recycled.
Big vans, fewer trips
One van load ≈ four builder’s skips
Our vans carry around 1.5 tonnes of household items – about the same as four 8-yard skips. No skip permits, nothing left on your drive, and we do all the lifting.
- A typical 3-bedroom house takes about 3–4 hours
- If one trip isn’t enough, a second load costs 50% of the fee
- Everything sorted for donation and recycling

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Which service do I need for a deceased relative's home?
Most families choose bereavement clearance, and where an estate is being settled, probate clearance. Both follow a similar approach: we work at your pace, set aside paperwork, photos and keepsakes, and clear the rest. Tell us your timeline when you get in touch and we will advise on the best way forward.
Can I book just part of a property?
Yes. Partial clearances are common, for example a loft, garage, garden or a few rooms. You can also keep certain furniture in place and ask us to remove only the rest. Send photos and tell us exactly what should stay and what should go.
Do you clear commercial premises?
Yes. We can clear offices, shops and storage units, and we can work around opening hours where possible. Please send photos or a description of the space and any access restrictions, and we will provide a free quote. If you have any other questions, call or WhatsApp 07898 719 509 and we will be glad to help.
What if I am not sure what the job involves?
That is completely fine. Send us a few photos by WhatsApp or use the quote form, and describe the situation in your own words. We will tell you which service suits it best and what we would expect the job to involve.
