Clearing a house — whether after a death, a move, or just decades of accumulated things — is emotional and exhausting work. We do it sensitively, completely and tidily.
Full House Clearance
A full clearance covers every item in the property — every cupboard, every drawer, the loft, the garage, the shed and the garden. We arrive with a large van (sometimes two), a team of two or three, and we work systematically room-by-room. Anything you want to keep is set aside in a marked area before we start.
We are a registered waste carrier and we sort the contents as we go: charity-suitable items go to local charity shops, recyclables go to the appropriate facility, and the remainder to the household waste site. Full clearances usually take one to two days.
Partial House Clearance
Sometimes you only need part of a property cleared — for example, the loft and garage of a house you have inherited but plan to move into, or a single room you have decided to clear out completely. We quote the same way as a full clearance, just for the rooms you specify.

Loft & Attic Clearance
Lofts accumulate decades of "we might use this one day" — old toys, photo albums, broken furniture, ancient electricals, suitcases full of newspaper. We clear and sort, point out anything that looks valuable for you to keep, and remove the rest.
Bereavement & Probate House Clearance
Clearing a parent's or partner's home is one of the hardest things many people do. We work slowly with you, take direction on what stays and what goes, do not push you to make rushed decisions, and treat the property with respect throughout.
For probate clearances we work with the executor and can provide written inventories where required.
Hoarder Clearance
Hoarder properties need a different approach — they are usually heavily occupied, sometimes structurally affected, and need a careful, sometimes contained, clear-out. We work with social services and family members where appropriate, never judge the occupant, and bring industrial-strength cleaning kit if needed.

Why Sunderland Customers Choose Us for House Clearance
Sunderland is full of trades and not all of them turn up. We hear that from new customers almost every week — someone has waited two days for a callback, taken a morning off work for a quote that never arrived, or been chased for cash on a job that was never finished properly. We built our reputation by doing the simple things consistently: answering the phone, turning up when we say we will, giving fixed prices in writing, doing the job to a tidy standard, and leaving the house cleaner than we found it.
We are not the cheapest in Sunderland and we do not try to be — but we believe we offer the best value when you balance price, reliability and finish quality.
The Process — What to Expect When You Book
1. Enquiry. Fill in our contact form with a brief description of the work and a few photos if you can — the more we know upfront, the more accurate our quote will be. We respond within 24 hours on working days, often much sooner.
2. Site visit and quote. For most house clearance work we like to visit the property to give an accurate fixed price. The visit is free, takes 15-30 minutes and there is no obligation. For very small jobs we can quote from photographs alone.
3. Booking. Once you agree the quote we send a confirmation email and book a date. We do not take deposits for jobs under £500 — you pay on completion when you are happy with the work.
4. The work. We arrive on the agreed day in the agreed time slot. We dust-sheet floors, protect skirting and furniture, and work tidily. We keep you informed if anything changes.
5. Completion and payment. When the job is finished we walk you through it, hand over any guarantees or certificates and take payment. Card, bank transfer or cash all welcome.
