House Clearance Questions

It depends on how much there is to clear, the size and type of property, access (stairs, parking, distance to the van) and how much can be reused or recycled. A single room costs much less than a full house. The quickest way to an accurate price is to send a few photos, and the quote is free with no obligation.

Yes. Photos of each room, the loft and any outbuildings are usually enough for an accurate quote. Send them through the quote form or on WhatsApp. For very large or complicated jobs we may suggest a short visit or video call.

No. Many customers give us access through a neighbour, solicitor, estate agent or key safe, especially when they live far away. If you prefer to be there to point out what stays, that is fine too.

As early as you can, especially if you are working to a sale, tenancy or estate deadline. Shorter notice is sometimes possible, so ask and we will tell you the earliest date we can offer.

A single room may take an hour or two. Most houses are cleared in one or two days, and very full or large properties can take longer. We will give you an estimate with your quote.

Evening and weekend clearances can be arranged. Tell us what suits you when you ask for a quote.

Almost everything in a normal home: furniture, beds and mattresses, appliances, kitchen contents, clothes, books, carpets, garden furniture and the contents of lofts, garages and sheds. We cannot take hazardous waste such as asbestos, gas bottles or some chemicals, and will explain how to deal with those.

Yes. We can clear a single room, a loft, a garage or just a few large items, and leave everything else as it is. See our partial house clearance page.

Yes. Tenement stairs and shared closes are part of everyday work in Scotland. We protect the common areas and leave them as we found them.

Yes, with patience and without judgement. Where the person still lives there, nothing is removed without their agreement. See our hoarding clearance page.

We sweep up once the property is empty, so it is clear and tidy. If you need a professional deep clean for a sale or a new tenant, we can tell you when the property will be ready for the cleaners.

Yes. We take a patient, respectful approach, work at a pace that suits the family, and set aside photographs, papers and personal items. If the property is part of an estate, we can work with the executor or solicitor.

In Scotland the legal process for dealing with an estate is called confirmation. The executor decides when the contents of a home can be cleared, and a solicitor can advise.

Yes. We set aside photographs, letters, bank and pension paperwork, jewellery and anything that looks personal or valuable, and return it to you.

We sort as we clear. Good furniture and household goods go to reuse and charity partners where they can be accepted, materials are recycled, and only what cannot be reused or recycled is disposed of through licensed facilities.

Yes. We are registered with SEPA as a waste carrier, and our registration number is available to customers on request.

Yes. We clear properties between tenancies, work to check-out reports and can collect keys from your office. See our landlord and property clearance page.

Yes, including offices, shops, warehouses and larger commercial buildings, outside working hours if needed.

We arrange clearances throughout Scotland. Our local pages cover towns from the Scottish Borders and East Lothian through Edinburgh and Fife to Dundee, Angus, Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen. If your town is not listed, ask and we will confirm.

Yes, with a little more planning. Rural properties, farms and island homes may need a visit or extra time for travel and ferries, which we will explain in your quote.
