Probate clearances,
handled with care.

When a loved one's home needs clearing, we take it off your plate. The whole house, garage, sheds and garden cleared in 2 to 3 days, a clean at the end, and you don't need to be there. Fully licensed, discreet and priced fairly upfront, across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London.

What's included

One team for the whole property

Families, executors and estate agents call us when a property needs emptying and handing back ready for sale or the next tenant. We do the whole lot in one booking, inside and out.

Inside

Full House Clearance

Every room, cupboard and loft. Furniture, appliances, carpets, clothes, books and the paperwork that builds up over a lifetime. We sort as we go, so anything you've asked us to look out for, like photos, documents, jewellery or a particular keepsake, is set aside for you rather than loaded onto the van.

Outside

Garage, Sheds & Garden

Garages and sheds emptied, and taken down if you'd rather they went too. Overgrown gardens cut back, cleared and tidied so the property shows well in the estate agent's photos and the buyer isn't put off before they've got through the front door.

Deep Clean at the End

  • Kitchen, bathroom & floors cleaned once everything is out
  • Ready for viewings, valuations or a new tenant
  • Optional, just ask when you book

Donation & Recycling

  • Bigger items in good condition donated or recycled where we can
  • Helps offset the cost of the clearance
  • Everything else disposed of properly on our licence

Keys & Access

  • You don't need to be there
  • Key safe or code box, or we collect keys from you or the agent
  • Photos sent when the job is done

Working to a Deadline

  • Completion dates & estate agent photos
  • Tenancy handovers & care home moves
  • Usually cleared within 72 hours of starting

Part Clearances

  • Just the garage, loft or garden if that is all you need
  • Single rooms or single bulky items
  • Priced for what we take, nothing more

End-of-Tenancy & Landlord Clear-outs

  • Same careful service for landlords & agents
  • Rubbish left behind by tenants cleared
  • Gardens tidied between lets

How it works

Simple, quick and at your pace

Most probate clearances take us two to three days from start to finish, including the garden and a clean at the end.

We know this isn't a normal clear-out. Some families want to go through everything themselves first, others would rather it was done while they're not there. We fit around you, and nothing leaves the property that you've asked us to keep.

We're a fully licensed Upper Tier waste carrier with public liability insurance, so everything we remove is disposed of properly, and we can provide a waste transfer note if the solicitor or the estate needs one.

A mix of rubbish removal and furniture collection and delivery over 3 addresses. Sam was very responsive to my enquiry and very communicative on the day about the job. Would definitely recommend them.

"A transparent quote and a great communicator"

Sam was quick and efficient right from the start, responding almost immediately. His quote was broken down transparently and included margin for any changes to the scope of work. A great communicator, he finished the job very fast and to a high standard, clearing up well afterwards. A pleasure to work with!

Good to know

Probate questions, answered

Do we need to be there while you clear the house?
No. Many families would rather not be, and that's completely fine. We can use a key safe or code box, or collect the keys from you, a neighbour or the estate agent. We'll keep you updated along the way and send photos when it's finished, then hand the keys back wherever you'd like.
How long does a probate clearance take?
Usually two to three days from start to finish, and that includes the garage, sheds and garden and a clean at the end. We can normally have a property and garden cleared within 72 hours of starting, unless it's a very large house, in which case we'll tell you upfront how long we think it will take.
What happens to everything you take?
Larger items in good condition are donated or recycled where we can, which helps offset the cost. We'll be honest though, a lot of what comes out of a home has had a full life and isn't suitable for donation. Everything else is disposed of properly on our Upper Tier waste carrier licence, and we can provide a waste transfer note if you need one.
Can you look out for documents, photos and valuables?
Yes, just tell us what matters. We sort as we go rather than throwing everything straight on the van, so anything you've mentioned, and anything else that looks important like paperwork, photographs, jewellery or cash, is set aside for you to collect. If you'd like to go through a particular room yourself first, we'll work around that.
Do we have to wait for probate to be granted before clearing?
The timing is one for your solicitor or the executor to confirm, as it depends on the estate. Many families clear once probate is granted or once a sale is agreed, and sometimes earlier if the property is being rented out or needs securing. Whatever date you're given, we'll work to it.
How is a probate clearance priced?
On how much there is and what's involved, so you only pay for what we take. Send us a few photos of each room, the garage and the garden, or we'll pop round for a free look, and we'll give you a fair, fixed quote upfront. The price we agree is the price you pay, with no hidden extras.
Can you clean the property afterwards?
Yes. Once everything is out we can deep clean the kitchen, bathroom and floors so the property is ready for viewings, a valuation or a new tenant. Just let us know you'd like the clean when you book and we'll include it in the quote.
Which areas do you cover for probate clearances?
We're based in Hemel Hempstead and cover Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London, including St Albans, Watford, Luton, Dunstable, Harpenden, Berkhamsted, Tring, Aylesbury and the villages in between. If you're not sure whether we reach you, just ask.
