House clearance in Gorgie

Your local clearance team

Gorgie is one of the most densely built parts of west Edinburgh, a long run of tenements either side of Gorgie Road with Tynecastle Park, the home of Hearts, at its heart. Much of it went up in the late 1800s alongside the railway, the North British Distillery and the biscuit works, and the old tenement rows still house a large part of the community. We come through from our Glasgow depot for planned bookings in Gorgie, Wheatfield, Stenhouse, Saughton, Chesser and Ardmillan.

Most Gorgie clearances are tenement flats, often emptied by a family after a death, by a landlord between tenants or by someone getting ready to sell. Photos are usually enough for us to agree a rate, and we will visit if needed. The team calls on the morning, then takes apart and removes furniture, lifts carpets, empties every cupboard and sweeps up. The contents return to Glasgow, where over 90% is reused or recycled and the rest is disposed of legally.

  • 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 Gorgie

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

All of it, in one go

Clearing a Gorgie tenement on your own means dozens of trips up and down the stair and a car or van that can only take a few pieces at once. Our team removes the entire contents in one visit, with a truck parked as close as we can manage and enough people to carry heavy items down safely. You avoid the strain, the parking and the repeated trips.

Doing it yourself

Sighthill is the closest of the council's three community recycling centres to Gorgie, with Seafield and Craigmillar further away, and every visit needs a booked appointment. If you use a van or trailer you also need a booked slot and ID, and vans cannot use the Craigmillar site. For a full flat of furniture, that is a lot of separate appointments to arrange and keep.

Tenements, Tynecastle and parking

Gorgie's tenements are typically three or four storeys with a common stair and no lift, and the street parking is tight, with controlled parking now covering many of the streets. On Hearts home match days, Gorgie Road and the streets around Tynecastle get very busy, so if your date clashes with a fixture let us know and we will plan around it. Houses in Stenhouse and Saughton usually have easier access.

Questions

Gorgie house clearance FAQs

Get a Quote
How do you price a house clearance in Gorgie?
Every job is priced on its own. We consider the amount of contents, what the items are and how they will be carried out, whether that is a top-floor tenement flat or a ground floor house with a garden. Once we have seen photos or visited, you get an up-front rate, and no work starts until you have agreed to it.
Is it a problem if the flat is on the top floor?
No. Most of our Gorgie work involves tenement stairs. We take larger furniture apart in the flat, carry everything down by hand, and keep the common stair clear and tidy for neighbours. Sofas are carried down whole and kept separate in the truck, as Scottish rules on persistent organic pollutants require upholstered seating to be treated on its own.
Can you clear my mum's flat while I am still deciding what to keep?
Yes. You can mark the pieces you want, put them in one room, or walk round with the team on the day. We will leave those untouched and clear everything else. Anything personal we find, such as documents, photographs, cash or jewellery, is handed to you. Our guide to who clears a house when someone dies may also help if you are handling an estate.
Do you also clear gardens and back greens?
Yes. Some Gorgie flats share a back green, and houses towards Stenhouse and Saughton have their own gardens. We remove green waste, old sheds, fence panels and garden furniture, either as part of the house clearance or as a separate garden clearance.
Which areas near Gorgie do you cover?
We cover the whole of Gorgie along with Dalry, Ardmillan, Slateford, Chesser, Stenhouse, Saughton, Balgreen and Murrayfield, plus Corstorphine and Wester Hailes further west. Our trucks travel from our Glasgow depot for every Edinburgh job, so we agree your date in advance and call ahead on the day.
