Excellent customer service and professionalism from start to finish. Quoted same day on a house clearance, booked at time that was convenient to myself. Cleared house and swept up once finished. Would highly recommend using them.

Respectful & Discreet
We provide comprehensive property clearances during often difficult times, whether you’re managing probate, an end of tenancy, or a complex relocation. Based in the North West, our family-run team understands the unique challenges of clearing properties in Leigh, from navigating tight back-to-back terraced rows to clearing larger post-war estates.
We are trusted by local solicitors, estate agents and families alike to deliver a sensitive, compassionate service. As a Which? Trusted Trader and Trading Standards Approved “Buy With Confidence” member, we guarantee total peace of mind and professionalism at every step.
Operating as a fully licensed Environment Agency Registered waste carrier (licence number CBDU409710), we ensure your clearance is fully compliant with all Duty of Care regulations. Afterwards, we provide an instant digital Waste Transfer Note (WTN) and achieve a high landfill diversion rate by directing suitable items to local charities and licensed recycling centres.
Whether you need a rapid turnaround for a rental property or a carefully planned bereavement clearance, call our head office on 0161 339 7938 or WhatsApp photos to 07802 860 731 for a fast, free quote!
Firstly, we are trained bereavement professionals and hoarding specialists. We approach every clearance quietly and respectfully, following your specific instructions to the letter during sensitive situations.
Our own uniformed teams handle all the heavy lifting from lofts, cellars, garages and sheds. We safely navigate tight staircases in terraced homes and leave rooms swept and ready to use.
Valuables are carefully sorted and secured. Rather than just rushing in, we actively look for personal photos, important documents and items suitable for donation to set aside for you.
Finally, you do not need to be present while we work. For example, we can collect keys from a local agent or key safe, carry out the clearance while you are elsewhere and keep you updated with calls and before-and-after photos.

What We Clear

Firstly, give us a call, fill in our contact form or you can also WhatsApp a photo of the property to 07802 860 731 for a free quote. We can arrange a video walk-through or a short site visit.
Next, our uniformed team clears the property systematically, room by room. We are highly experienced in navigating the narrow doorways and tight access points typical of Leigh’s traditional mining terraces.
Afterwards, once the waste is removed, we then sweep through every room, including dusty cellars and back yards. The property is left vacant and broom clean, ready for a rapid sale or letting.
Finally, we ensure the vast majority of items we remove are diverted from landfill. Where possible, we prioritise reuse and donations to local community partners, with the remainder safely processed at licensed facilities.
Our transparent pricing is based purely on volume and weight, meaning you only pay for the space you fill. This is a far better alternative to skip hire where you often pay for fresh air.
Single Item:
Prices start from £80+VAT, equivalent to 10–15 bags. This is ideal for standalone bulky items like a large wardrobe or a heavy sofa from a spare bedroom or some general waste.
Quarter Van Load:
Next, roughly 20–30 bin bags or 2–3 cubic yards. Perfect for clearing a box room, under-stairs cupboard or removing old fixtures.
Half Van Load:
Then, around 6 cubic yards or 50–60 bin bags. Comparable to a standard 6-yard builders’ skip, for example, this is ideal for a large master bedroom clearance or stripping a kitchen.
Full Van Load:
12–14 cubic yards or 100+ bin bags. Equivalent to roughly two standard 8-yard skips, making it suitable for full house clearances and also extensive probate jobs.

Probate Clearance in Central Leigh:
We cleared full domestic furniture from a classic back-to-back terrace using our Wait & Load service. This meant avoiding the impossibility of placing a skip on the narrow street without blocking traffic or upsetting neighbours.
End-of-Tenancy Clearance near Slag Lane:
We swiftly removed accumulated household rubbish as well as some broken furniture from a post-war estate property. The landlord was able to re-let the home within 24 hours.
Garage & Shed Clearance in Semi-Rural Leigh:
We dismantled an old shed and also cleared years of heavy tools and garden waste. This saved the homeowner the hassle of applying for restricted van permits at the local council tip.
