Clearing a family home after someone has died is a horrible job to have hanging over you.
There's the paperwork, the estate, the family decisions — and then there's the actual house. Cupboards full of belongings, furniture that needs moving, boxes in the loft and years of stuff to sort through.
We can take the physical side of it off your hands.
We'll work at a sensible pace, treat the property and belongings with respect, and clear only what you've agreed with us.

Help With Probate Clearances
Key Collection
If you're not local, you don't necessarily need to travel to Plymouth just to open the door.
We can arrange access through an estate agent, solicitor, neighbour or key safe where appropriate.
Looking for Specific Items
If there's something you're trying to find — paperwork, photographs, jewellery, documents or a particular family item — tell us before we start.
We'll know what we're looking for and can put anything we find to one side.
Keeping Useful Things Out of the Skip
If there are clothes, books, furniture or household items that are still in good condition, we can separate them from the rubbish rather than treating everything as waste.

Clearing a Plymouth Family Home
A lot of the properties we deal with are older houses with steep stairs, narrow halls and cupboards that haven't been opened in years.
That's fine.
We're used to taking things apart when necessary, getting bulky furniture through awkward doorways and working carefully around the property.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you collect keys from an estate agent?
- Yes, where this has been arranged in advance. We can collect keys from an agreed location, carry out the clearance and return them afterwards.
- Can you provide paperwork for probate?
- Yes. We can provide clear invoices and records of the work carried out for your own records or the estate.
- What happens to photographs and personal paperwork?
- If you've asked us to look out for particular personal items, tell us before the job. We'll keep an eye out for them and put anything relevant to one side rather than simply loading it.
