Want the full picture first? Read our in-depth guide: Bereavement House Clearance Dublin: A Complete Guide for Families, Executors & Estates — How to approach clearing a parent's or relative's home — probate, executors, sorting belongings and what to expect on the day.

What's included in a bereavement clearance?

  • Removal of furniture, appliances and personal effects
  • Careful identification of sentimental or valuable items to retain — photographs, documents
  • Discreet handling of sensitive belongings
  • Full clearance of the property, including attics, garages and sheds
  • Responsible disposal, donation or recycling of unwanted items
  • Optional basic clean-up or deep cleaning on request

Who this service is for

  • Families clearing a parent's or relative's home
  • Executors and administrators handling probate
  • Solicitors and estate agents preparing a property for sale
  • Families managing a clearance from overseas
  • Nursing home and care transitions

Clearing a loved one's home, at your pace

Clearing a parent's or relative's house after a death is one of the hardest practical jobs a family faces. There's no need to rush it. Some families want the house cleared quickly so it can be sold; others want to go through things room by room first and have us do the heavy work afterwards. We fit around whatever you need, and we can clear in stages if that helps.

On the day, the crew works quietly and respectfully. Photographs, letters, documents, medals and anything that looks personal or sentimental are set aside in one place for the family — we'd always rather ask than assume. If there are items you want kept, moved to another address or passed to a family member, tell us and we'll organise it.

Working with executors and solicitors

Many bereavement clearances are arranged by an executor, a solicitor or a family member living abroad. We can work from keys, send before-and-after photos, provide written confirmation that the property has been cleared, and return keys to an agent or solicitor. If the house is being sold, we can leave it swept and ready for viewings or for the estate agent's photographer.

Donation and reuse

Families often take comfort in knowing that good furniture, clothing, books and household items have gone to someone who can use them rather than to landfill. Wherever items are in usable condition, we pass them on for reuse or donation; recyclables are separated; and only what genuinely can't be reused is disposed of at licensed facilities.

What's included

Everything from a single wardrobe of clothes to the complete contents of a house, including the attic, garage, shed and garden. Carpets, curtains and white goods can be included. We can also arrange a final sweep and tidy so the property is ready for handover.

I found Ciprians company on a Google search as I needed help with a very cluttered attic. I liked that the website said he would allow sorting and keeping on the day as I was as hoping to find items not seen for a long time. All other companies stressed that items to be kept needed to be removed before the visit.
I have added a photo of the cover Ciprian put on the stair carpet. He also cleans carpets and wears all his hats on every job.
His helper was unavailable but Ciprian did the job excellently on his own. Again I was given time to check before every bag was removed to his truck.
He reused my vacuum bags to gather loose items in the attic and removed everything including loose wood left left by previous workmen doing flooring.
I did not need anything put back into the attic as Ciprian had offered as it was to be left empty for another company who will install shelving etc
Excellent communication via WhatsApp prior to the day and very polite.
Reasonable price for the work involved..
Thank you..

Would highly recommend Ciprian! Himself & his colleague did an excellent job on a house clearance recently. They were extremely thorough, professional & efficient. They arrived promptly & there was good communication with Ciprian who was easy to contact. A job well done.

Ciprian and Will arrived bang on time and did the attic clearance in less than 2 hours. Perfect job, everything taken away and hall carpets hoovered afterwards.

Bereavement Clearance — frequently asked questions

Will you set aside personal items and photographs?
Yes. If we find photographs, documents or anything that looks sentimental or valuable, we set it aside for you to review before anything leaves the property.
Do we need to be there on the day?
No. Many families prefer not to be present. We can work from your instructions and keep you updated by phone or WhatsApp — and we regularly work with families who are managing a clearance from abroad.
Can you clear a house for probate or sale?
Yes. We clear properties for executors, solicitors and estate agents, leaving them empty and tidy so they're ready for valuation, sale or letting.
Do you offer cleaning after the clearance?
Basic sweeping and tidying is included. Deep cleaning of the property can be arranged on request.
Which areas do you cover for bereavement clearances?
Dublin (north and south), Kildare (Naas, Newbridge, Athy, Kildare Town and beyond), Laois, Carlow and Kilkenny, plus surrounding towns and villages in Leinster.
What if we find documents or valuables during the clearance?
Anything that looks personal, important or valuable is set aside and handed to you or the executor — never loaded with the rest.
Can you clear the house in stages?
Yes. Some families clear the main rooms first and the attic or garage later, or keep certain rooms untouched for now. We'll quote each stage separately.
How soon after a death can you clear a property?
Whenever the family is ready. There's no minimum notice from our side; we'll fit the clearance around probate, viewings and family arrangements.
Can you deliver items to family members?
Yes. Furniture or keepsakes going to relatives can be dropped to a local address in the same run.
Can you clear the house before probate is granted?
That's a legal question for the executor or solicitor rather than us — but once you have the go-ahead, we can usually book within the week.
Do you handle the whole house, including the attic, garage and garden?
Yes. Everything can be cleared in one visit so the family only has to deal with it once.
Can you clear a property for a family living abroad?
Yes. Many bereavement clearances are arranged from overseas by phone, WhatsApp and email, with keys held by a solicitor or agent.
Do you remove carpets and curtains as well as furniture?
Yes, if the property is being sold or refurbished we can strip carpets, curtains and blinds too.
