House clearance in Corstorphine

Your local clearance team

Corstorphine was a village in its own right until it joined Edinburgh in 1920, and it still feels like one around the Old Parish Church and the High Street. For our trucks it is the first part of the city we reach: the A8 from the M8 runs straight into Glasgow Road and St John's Road, so the run from our east end Glasgow depot is a simple one. We work across the district, from Clermiston and Drumbrae on the slopes of Corstorphine Hill to East Craigs, Carrick Knowe and Broomhall.

Many clearances here follow a downsizing move, a move into care or a death in the family, and they often involve a house that has been lived in for forty years or more. We start with photos or a visit and an agreed rate, then arrive on the planned date with a uniformed team. Furniture is dismantled, carpets are lifted, the loft and garage are emptied and the house is swept. Everything goes back to Glasgow, where over 90% of it 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 home in Corstorphine

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

A whole house in a single visit

A family home in Corstorphine usually holds far more than one room suggests: a full loft, a garage of tools and paint tins, a shed and a garden that has been left to grow. Rather than weeks of car runs, our team clears the lot on one booked day, bringing enough people and space to finish the job. You do not need to sort anything first, just tell us what you want kept.

Doing it yourself

The closest community recycling centre to Corstorphine is Sighthill, on the other side of the Calder Road, with Seafield and Craigmillar further east. Every visit has to be booked as an appointment, and if you borrow a van or tow a trailer you also need a booked slot and ID, while Craigmillar will not let a van in. Emptying a three-bedroom house this way means many separate trips through west Edinburgh traffic.

Bungalows, villas and the A8

Corstorphine is full of 1920s and 1930s bungalows and semis with driveways, which makes loading straightforward, but their lofts are often the biggest part of the job. Older stone villas sit near the Old Parish Church and below the Hill, while flats line St John's Road above the shops. That stretch of the A8 is one of the busiest roads in the city, so for flats there we agree a loading point on a side street first.

Questions

Corstorphine house clearance FAQs

What decides the cost of clearing a house in Corstorphine?
The volume of contents is the main factor, followed by the type of items and how easy they are to reach. A bungalow with a packed loft and a full garage takes more time than a tidy flat, even if the living space is similar. We look at photos or visit the property, then give you an up-front rate before anything is moved, so you know where you stand.
Can you empty the loft and the garage as well?
Yes, and in Corstorphine they are often the largest part of the clearance. We bring down everything stored in the loft, clear garages of old furniture, tools and boxes, and take apart garden sheds if you want them gone. We cannot take hazardous items such as paint, chemicals, fuel or gas bottles, so we will point these out if we find them.
My parent is moving into care. Can you clear around the things they are taking?
Yes. Tell us which pieces are going with them or to family, and we will label and leave them, or set them aside in one room. We then clear the rest of the house. Personal papers, photographs and anything valuable we find are kept safe and handed over, and the house is swept so it is ready for sale or rent.
Do you work in Clermiston, East Craigs and South Gyle?
Yes. As well as Corstorphine itself we cover Clermiston, Drumbrae, East Craigs, Carrick Knowe, Broomhall, South Gyle and the rest of west Edinburgh, along with Wester Hailes, Gorgie and Livingston. Edinburgh work is booked ahead from our Glasgow depot, and we call on the day once the team is on its way.
Is the waste disposed of properly?
Yes. We are a registered waste carrier with SEPA, so nothing we remove from a Corstorphine home is ever fly-tipped. Items go back to our Glasgow depot to be sorted for reuse, charity and recycling, sofas are kept apart for the right treatment under the persistent organic pollutant rules, and you receive paperwork once the job is complete.
