Sensitive House Clearance

Clearing a home after a bereavement or during a difficult change is hard enough without the heavy lifting. We cover Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire with discreet support. Our sensitive house clearances are calm, discreet and led by your instructions, with paperwork and keepsakes set aside as we go. We can work to a written brief if you cannot be there, and provide photo updates when needed. Digital Waste Transfer Notes are included and we aim for around 95% landfill diversion through reuse and recycling.

FAQs

Answers to common questions

How do you handle bereavement clearances?
Quiet, respectful working with a single point of contact. We follow your brief, set aside personal items, and work at a pace that suits you.
Can you work unattended with keys?
Yes. We can collect keys and carry out the clearance to a written plan, then send photos and a simple report.
Do you inventory contents before removal?
Where requested, we can photograph key areas and itemise agreed categories before removal.
How do you deal with hygiene risks?
We risk assess, provide PPE, and allow extra time for careful handling. If specialist cleaning is needed, we can refer you.
Will you liaise with an estate agent or solicitor?
Yes. We can coordinate access, collect keys, and return them once the property is secure.
What do you do with personal papers and photos?
We set these aside for you and never dispose of them unless you give written permission.
