Clearing a loved one's home, handled with care.
Sorting through a lifetime of belongings is hard at the best of times, and harder when you're grieving. We take the practical side off your hands: one team walks through the home with you, sets aside what matters, buys what has value, and clears the rest.
Not sure where to start?
Tell us a little about the home and we'll call you back. The assessment is free, and there is no obligation.
The things families worry about, taken care of.
Nothing important is thrown away
Wills, title deeds, policies, ID documents, photographs, letters and jewellery are set aside and handed to you or the executor.
You keep what you want
Tell us what the family is keeping before we start, and it stays exactly where it is.
You don't have to be there
Many families live far away, or would rather not be present. We can collect keys from an attorney or estate agent and keep you updated.
A fair offer for anything of value
Furniture, watches, art, vehicles and collectables are valued and bought at a fair price, which often offsets the cost of the clearance.
Usable things go to good homes
Clothing, bedding and everyday furniture are donated to local charities and care homes wherever possible.
A record of everything
Every visit is recorded on body cameras, and you receive a written record of what was assessed, bought and removed.
Four gentle steps, from the first call to handing back the keys.
Talk to us
Call, WhatsApp or send the form. We'll listen first and explain how it works. There's no pressure to decide anything.
We walk through the home
With you, or on your behalf. We note what the family is keeping and value anything worth selling.
We clear with care
Papers and keepsakes are set aside, valuables are bought fairly, and the rest is donated, recycled or removed.
Keys back, broom-clean
The home is left clean and ready to sell, let or hand over — often within days.
The same people, from the first visit to the last
Every clearance is carried out by Heritage Clearance's own trained team — never outsourced to a subcontractor or a different crew each visit. The same people who assess and value the property are the ones who clear it.
Every visit is recorded on body cameras, for your protection and ours, and every clearance comes with a clear written record of what was assessed, purchased, and removed.
One call instead of five.
Clearing a home usually means finding an auctioneer, a furniture buyer, a charity collection and a rubbish removal company, then coordinating them all yourself. We do it as one job.
Doing it piece by piece
- Weeks spent finding and vetting the right auction house or buyer
- An auction listing, viewing days, then a sale date months away
- Separate companies for valuables, furniture, and general clearance
- You're left coordinating the whole process yourself
The Heritage Clearance way
- One team assesses, values, and clears the home in a single visit
- No auction queue — a fair, on-the-spot offer for anything of value
- Valuables, furniture, and everything else handled together
- The home left broom-clean, usually within days
- Every visit is recorded on body cameras, for your protection and ours

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from families, executors and agents.
We're not ready to let everything go yet. Is that all right?
Yes. Tell us what the family wants to keep and we work around it. You can list everything to be kept aside before any work begins, and we only clear what you have agreed to.
What happens to personal papers, photographs and keepsakes?
They are set aside, never thrown away. Wills, title deeds, policies, ID documents, photographs, letters and jewellery are handed to you or the executor.
How fast can you clear a property?
We can typically assess a property within 24-48 hours of your call. Once approved, the clearance itself is usually completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the estate and the volume of items.
Do you buy valuables, or just take away rubbish?
We do both simultaneously. During our assessment, we identify items of value (watches, furniture, cameras, vehicles, etc.) and make a fair, upfront cash offer. The value of these items is often used to offset the cost of the general clearance and rubbish removal.
What happens to the items that aren't valuable?
We have a strict ethical clearance policy. Usable clothing, bedding, and basic furniture are donated to local charities and care homes. Unusable items and general waste are sorted and disposed of responsibly at licensed recycling and refuse facilities.
Do I need to be present during the clearance?
No. Many of our clients are overseas or simply prefer not to be present. We can collect keys from an attorney or estate agent. Every clearance is recorded by our staff on body cameras to ensure total transparency and peace of mind.
Do you clean the property afterwards?
We provide a 'broom-clean' handover as standard. This means all items are removed, floors are swept or vacuumed, and surfaces are wiped down. The property is left clear, secure, and ready for sale, letting, or handover.
