Painless Clearances

House clearance
services in Bristol

A room, a garage or a whole property. One price list covers all of them, worked out by the van load rather than by the type of job.

When a home changes hands

The three clearances that ask the most of a family. Each has its own page about what to decide before booking.

Probate & bereavement house clearance

Clearing a home after someone has died, for families and for executors, including those organising it from outside Bristol.

  • Keepsakes and papers are set aside before anything leaves
  • Keys, access and sign-off agreed with whoever is instructing
  • A clearance quote, kept separate from the probate valuation

Hoarding house clearance

For a home where belongings have built up until rooms are hard to use. Describing it can feel daunting, so start with the room causing the most difficulty.

  • Nobody needs to tidy before getting in touch
  • One room at a time is a perfectly good way to begin
  • Tell us what must not be thrown away, and it stays

Downsizing & moving into care

A move to a smaller home, a relative’s house or a care home usually leaves furniture behind. Begin with what is coming with you, then plan around what remains.

  • The clearance is planned around the moving date
  • Rooms can be cleared before or after the move
  • Moving the things you keep is arranged separately

Several jobs at one address? One visit, one price.

A house clearance that also takes the garage, the shed and the garden waste is one booking. It is usually cheaper and less disruptive than arranging each one separately.

Questions about our services

Can one job cover several of these?

Usually it should. The house, the garage, the shed and the garden waste at one address are one visit, priced on the total load.

Do you charge for a quote?

No, and there is no obligation in asking. Describe the property and we come back with a figure and what it covers.

How do I know how many van loads I have?

You do not need to. The guide price questions ask about rooms and contents in plain terms, and photos let us check the estimate before you book.

Is there anything you will not take?

Some items need specialist handling, and we do not offer certified data destruction. Mention anything unusual when you get in touch, and we will tell you before the job is agreed.

Not sure which one fits?

Tell us about the property in your own words. We will work out which kind of clearance it is, and you do not need to.
