House clearance in Bruntsfield

Your local clearance team

Bruntsfield sits on the south side of Edinburgh, between Tollcross and Morningside, and its streets are lined with solid Victorian tenements, with larger villas tucked in around Whitehouse Loan and Greenhill. Our crews travel through from our depot in the east end of Glasgow, around 45 miles along the M8, and every Edinburgh job is booked in advance so the right team and truck arrive. We clear flats overlooking Bruntsfield Links, homes off Bruntsfield Place and the Marchmont tenements across the grass.

A Bruntsfield clearance can be one room in a shared flat or the whole contents of a family home kept for decades. Send us photos or book a visit, and we settle on a rate before anything is moved. On the day we phone ahead, take apart wardrobes and beds, lift carpets and carry everything down the common stair. Anything you want to keep is set to one side, and the flat is swept before we leave. Back at the depot, over 90% of what we collect is reused or recycled.

  • We call ahead on the day so you know when to expect us
  • Up-front rates agreed before any work starts
  • Friendly, uniformed and fully insured team
  • Furniture dismantled and carpets lifted
  • Sweep and tidy once the property is empty
  • Over 90% of what we collect is reused or recycled
  • Registered waste carrier, so your waste is handled legally
  • We do not remove asbestos or hazardous waste

Local know-how

Clearing a flat in Bruntsfield

What to know before you clear a property in Bruntsfield, and why most people find one visit from our team easier than doing it themselves.

One trip down the stair, not dozens

Emptying a third-floor tenement flat on your own means carrying every chair, box and mattress down a stone stair, then finding somewhere to load a hired van on a busy street. Our team does the carrying in a single, planned visit, with enough people on the stair to move bulky pieces safely and a truck big enough to take the full contents in one go. You hand over the keys and we handle the rest.

Doing it yourself

Bruntsfield residents can use the council's community recycling centres at Seafield, Sighthill and Craigmillar, but only with a booked appointment. Plenty of people on the south side do not run a car at all, and a van or trailer needs its own booked slot plus ID, and cannot be taken into Craigmillar. Seafield or Sighthill means a drive across the city every time, so a full flat soon turns into several bookings and a lost weekend.

Tenements, villas and parking

Most homes here are tenement flats reached by a shared stair with no lift, often with a long carry from the top landing. Bruntsfield Place, Leamington Terrace and the roads towards Marchmont are lined with permit and pay-and-display bays, so we work out where the truck can stop before we arrive. The villas around Whitehouse Loan and Greenhill bring different work, such as garages, garden sheds and lofts, so mention these when you ask for a rate.

Questions

Bruntsfield house clearance FAQs

How is the price for a Bruntsfield flat worked out?
It comes down to how much there is, what it is and how hard it is to get out. A top-floor tenement flat with a narrow stair and a packed box room takes longer than a main-door flat with half the contents. Send us photos of each room, or we can arrange a visit, and you get an up-front rate agreed before any work starts. We will not guess a figure blind, because no two flats are alike.
Will you carry everything down a tenement stair with no lift?
Yes, this is everyday work for us in Bruntsfield and Marchmont. We take bulky pieces such as wardrobes and bed frames apart inside the flat, take care not to mark the stairwell, and carry it all down by hand. Sofas and armchairs come down whole and are loaded separately, because Scottish rules on persistent organic pollutants mean upholstered seating needs its own treatment.
Do I need to be in Edinburgh on the day?
No. Many of the families we help live elsewhere, and executors often prefer not to be there. You can leave keys with a neighbour, a solicitor or with us, tell us what should stay, and we will phone you on the day. Anything personal we come across, such as letters, photographs or jewellery, is put aside and handed back to you.
Can you clear a rented flat between tenants?
Yes. We carry out end of tenancy and void clearances for landlords and letting agents across the south side, removing whatever the last occupants left behind, from mattresses and broken furniture to bags stuffed in the press. The flat is swept when we finish, so cleaning, repairs or a new let can go ahead, and businesses receive waste transfer paperwork for their records.
Do you also cover Marchmont, Merchiston and Tollcross?
Yes. We clear homes right across the south side of Edinburgh, including Marchmont, Merchiston, Tollcross, Morningside and the Grange. Every Edinburgh job is planned ahead from our Glasgow depot, so give us the dates that work for you, along with any access or parking details, and we will build the booking around them.
