House clearance in Dalry

Your local clearance team

Dalry runs west from Haymarket along Dalry Road towards Gorgie, a busy, tightly built district that grew up around the railways, breweries and distilleries of Victorian Edinburgh. Its homes are mostly tenement flats above and between the shops, plus the listed Dalry Colonies, the rows of two-storey terraces built in the late 1860s. We reach Dalry from our depot in the east end of Glasgow on dates agreed in advance, and clear homes from Haymarket and Roseburn to Murieston and Caledonian Road.

Whatever the property, the process stays simple. You show us what needs to go, through photos or a visit, and we agree a rate before we start. The team arrives on the day after a phone call, dismantles furniture, lifts flooring and clears every room, cupboard and cellar space. Anything you have asked to keep is left alone, and we sweep up as we finish. The contents travel back to Glasgow to be sorted, with over 90% reused or recycled.

Local know-how

Clearing a home in Dalry

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

Our crew, one visit

A Dalry flat can look small until you start to empty it. Box beds, cupboards under the stair and hall presses hold years of belongings, and every bag has to be carried out by hand. Our team takes on the whole lot in one visit, working room by room with a truck waiting outside, so you are not left juggling borrowed cars, loading spaces and trips across the city.

Doing it yourself

The nearest of Edinburgh's community recycling centres to Dalry is Sighthill, out past Gorgie and Stenhouse, and you need a booked appointment for every visit, as you do at Seafield and Craigmillar. A hired van or trailer must also be booked in and you need to show ID, and Craigmillar does not accept vans at all. With heavy items and a stair to tackle, that is a big task for one person.

Colonies, tenements and Dalry Road

The Dalry Colonies have upper flats reached by outside stone stairs on one side and lower flats entered from the other, so access depends on which door is yours. Tenements on Dalry Road and the streets off it share a common stair, and the main road carries heavy traffic and buses, so we usually load from a side street. Tell us the floor and the door when you send photos.

Questions

Dalry house clearance FAQs

What will a clearance in Dalry cost?

There is no fixed figure, because each flat holds a different amount and has different access. We price by the volume of contents, the kind of items and how far they need to be carried, including stairs. Send a few photos of each room, or ask us to visit, and we will give you an up-front rate before any work begins.

Can you clear a colony flat with an outside stair?

Yes. Upper colony flats in Dalry are reached by an outside stone stair, which is narrow and often steep, so we plan the job around it. Large items are taken apart inside, the stair is cleared one load at a time, and we keep the shared garden path clear for neighbours. Lower flats with their own door are usually more straightforward.

I live abroad. Can you clear my late uncle's flat without me there?

Yes. Many executors and relatives organise a Dalry clearance from a distance. You can send us the keys or leave them with a solicitor or neighbour, tell us what should be kept, and we will keep you updated by phone. Papers, photographs, jewellery and any cash we find are set aside and returned to you. Our guide to who clears a house when someone dies covers the wider process.

Do you take mattresses, carpets and old kitchen units?

Yes. We take mattresses, beds, wardrobes, carpets and underlay, kitchen appliances, and fitted units that have already been removed. Sofas and upholstered chairs are kept whole and separate so they can be treated correctly. We cannot take asbestos, chemicals, paint, fuel or gas bottles, which need a specialist.

Do you cover Haymarket, Roseburn and Gorgie?

Yes. As well as Dalry, we clear homes in Haymarket, Roseburn, Murrayfield, Gorgie, Fountainbridge and Polwarth, and across the rest of Edinburgh. Our trucks travel from Glasgow for every Edinburgh booking, which is why we plan each job around the dates you give us.
