WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DIFFICULT TIME
Losing someone is never easy. The practical tasks that follow can feel overwhelming. We are here to make one of those tasks easier.
Clearing a loved one's home is emotional. It is full of memories. It can feel intrusive. It can feel impossible to know where to start.
We understand. We handle everything with:
- Compassion — We treat every property and every item with respect
- Sensitivity — We work around you. We go at your pace. We do not rush you.
- Discretion — We are professional and unobtrusive. Neighbours need not know the details.
- Respect — These are not just "items". They are someone's life. We treat them accordingly.
You do not have to do this alone.

Is this for you?
This service is for families, executors, and solicitors who need a property cleared after someone has passed away.
- Families — You have lost someone you love. The house is full of their belongings. You need to clear it, but you do not know where to start. We are here for you.
- Executors — You have been named as executor of an estate. You have a legal responsibility to clear the property. We work with you.
- Solicitors — You are handling probate for a client. The property needs to be cleared, and you need documentation. We work for you.
A special note on remote properties: Many Okehampton and Dartmoor properties are in remote locations. Single‑track lanes. High banks. Few passing places. We know these properties. We know Belstone, Sticklepath, South Zeal, Chagford, Throwleigh, Bridestowe, and Sourton. We bring the right vehicles. We plan the access. We do not get stuck.
WHAT WE DO IN A DECEASED ESTATE CLEARANCE
- Full Estate Clearance — We clear the entire property — every room, every cupboard, every loft, every outbuilding. We leave the property clean and empty.
- Partial Clearance — Not every estate needs a full clearance. Maybe you only need a few rooms cleared. We clear what you need.
- Sorting and Categorising — We can sort through items at your direction. Separate items for family, charity donation, recycling, or disposal.
- Sentimental Items — We understand some items are irreplaceable. We will never remove anything you want to keep. We can set aside sentimental items for you to collect.
- Probate Support — We work with executors and solicitors. We can provide inventories, valuations for probate, waste transfer notes, and any other documentation required.
- Keyholding — We can hold keys during the clearance process. We can arrange access for solicitors, estate agents, or family members.
- Property Cleaning — Once the property is cleared, we can provide a deep clean (additional charge). This is often required before a property is sold or returned to the landlord.
- Garden Clearance — Estate gardens in Okehampton and Dartmoor are often overgrown. We clear them too.
HOW WE HANDLE PERSONAL AND SENTIMENTAL ITEMS
- We do not remove anything without your agreement. You decide what stays and what goes. We only remove items you have confirmed.
- We can set aside sentimental items. If there are items you want to keep, we can set them aside for you to collect. We can label them. We can store them temporarily.
- We can sort through items with you. If you want to be present, we can sort through items together. If you cannot be present, we can sort items on your behalf, following your instructions.
