Specialists in bereavement clearances

We know that wrapping your head around a new world of ‘probate’ is hard. We know that doing this whilst grieving and keeping up with your other commitments is even harder. Having to go through a lifetime of precious memories and possessions of a loved one can be a confusing, anxious and stressful time.

This is why we provide a specialist clearance approach for families who are grieving; to make their lives as easy as we possibly can. We can either offer a helping hand, working alongside you as you sort through the property, or we can carry out the full clearance on your behalf.

There’s not much you can do to make someone feel better when they’re grieving, but we certainly do our best to take any pressure off them where we can.

"Thank you for the house clearance work you undertook on my late mother's house. You stayed cheerful and explained how the leftover items would either be recycled or how you worked with local charitable organisations. Thank you for finding time to undertake the work in a busy December, allowing us to complete on the property promptly."

Complete sensitivity

We are known throughout Gloucestershire for our kind, caring and sensitive approach to all clearances. However, we deal with probate and deceased estates in a more specialised, empathetic manner; ensuring the family/friends are looked after and they have nothing unnecessary to worry about.

We ask you to gather the items you would like to keep and either remove them or leave them in the corner of the room with a sheet over them. We will then sensitively sort through everything else, deciding what can be recycled, donated or upcycled.

Our approach is incredibly personal and is something you won’t experience with a ‘man with a van’ or a larger removals company working to tight deadlines.

A clearance in tribute to your loved one

We do our absolute best to help tailor your loved one’s house clearance to them as a person. We will always treat all of their belongings with the utmost respect and can even organise the donation of some of their items to a cause/charity close to their hearts.

During a time where there’s a lot of sadness, some comfort can be taken in the fact their belongings are living on, rather than being thrown away. It can be comforting to think that their belongings can bring joy to someone else. We make it our mission to ensure your loved one’s clearance is a tribute to their life and ensure the whole team conducts the clearance with dignity.

Support

Whether you’d like a helping hand as you sort through the property, or you’d like us to complete the clearance on your behalf; we will be here every step of the way to support you. If you don’t live locally, we can give you regular updates and easily liaise with estate agents/family members etc.

Clearance

We’ll clear the property (of any size); take belongings to either be recycled, upcycled or donated; and then return to clean it professionally. We can also liaise with solicitors if there are specific instructions regarding certain items under probate.

Sale

We will always leave your property ready for vacant possession; meaning it’s ready to either be put back on the market or for its new owner to move into. We’re often told that our clearances help properties sell quicker and even sell for more, as they look so presentable.

If you’re reading this & thinking about enquiring, first of all, we’re very sorry for your loss. Secondly, if you’re looking for a house clearance service that can really do your friend or family member justice, please give us a call for a chat on 07909 846679 or 01452 290086.
