Clearing a parent or partner's home is a job nobody wants while they are grieving. We take the physical work off you and keep you in control of what stays.
A lifetime fits into a house very tightly. Sorting it is slow, and doing it alongside a funeral, the bank and the lawyer is more than most families can carry. We start with a walk through the property and a list of what you want set aside, then work through the rest.
Papers are the part people worry about most, so we handle them separately. Anything that looks like a document, a photograph or jewellery goes into a marked box for you rather than a bag for the tip.
Once the house is empty we clean it properly, whether it is going to market, going back to a landlord or being handed to a family member to live in.
Most families use the full service, but you can book any part of it on its own.
You can join us for all of it, some of it, or none of it.
We go room by room with you and note what is being kept, donated or cleared.
Papers, photographs and valuables are boxed and handed to you before anything leaves.
Donations go to charity where possible, recyclables are separated, the rest is disposed of.
A full clean so the property is ready for the agent, the landlord or the family.
Yes. We can work to a written list, send photographs of anything we are unsure about, and hold items aside until someone can look at them.
Anything usable is offered to charity where we can arrange collection. Recyclables are separated. The rest goes to the tip.
We can take on minor repairs and repainting so the property presents well. Ask when we quote and we will price it separately.
Yes. Odour treatment is part of the clean, and where the source is in carpet or soft furnishings we will tell you if replacement is the more sensible option.
Our vehicles are unmarked and we do not discuss the property or the family with anyone.
We can usually assess within a few days. Timing after that depends on the size of the property and how much sorting is involved.
Buyers decide in the first thirty seconds and photographers shoot in the first week.
