Clearing a home after a death, with care and without rush.
After a parent or relative passes away, the home often has to be empty within a few weeks. We clear it carefully, set personal items aside and clean everything afterwards, so you keep time for each other.
Clearing the home the way you would yourself
Clearing a home after a death isn't an ordinary job. We first walk through the home together and agree what stays, what goes to family and what can go. Photos, papers and valuables are set aside. Usable items go to a charity shop, the rest is taken away. Then we clean the home for the sale or the landlord.

House clearance — questions
How soon can you start?
Usually within one to two weeks after the walk-through. If the handover date is close, we see what can be done faster.
What happens to the belongings?
Whatever the family wants to keep is set aside. Usable items go to a charity shop, the rest is removed via a container from our partner.
How does the container work?
The container is booked directly with our partner, in the name of the family or estate. We handle coordination and loading.
Do we need to be there?
For the walk-through, yes please. During the clearance you don't: with a key arrangement we work independently and keep you updated.
