House Clearance Granton

Clearances for flats and houses across Granton on the Forth shore, from the 1930s estates of Royston Mains and Wardieburn to the newer waterfront blocks near Granton Harbour.

House clearance in Granton

Your local clearance team

Granton sits on the north edge of Edinburgh, looking out over the Firth of Forth, with Granton Harbour, the old gas holder and Caroline Park as its landmarks. Its housing is a mix of 1930s tenement flats in Royston Mains, Wardieburn and West Granton, older homes towards Trinity and Wardie, and the new apartments that have gone up as the waterfront has been redeveloped. Our trucks come from our depot in Glasgow on planned dates to clear homes across Granton and over towards Pilton, Muirhouse and Newhaven.

We take on whole houses, single rooms and anything in between. The first step is photos or a visit, which lets us agree a clear rate before any work begins. The team then calls ahead, arrives in uniform and clears the property, taking apart furniture, lifting carpets and emptying sheds or cupboards. Before we leave the home is swept, and back at our Glasgow depot over 90% of what we carry away is sorted for reuse or recycling.

  • 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 Granton

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

Our team, one trip

Clearing a Granton flat bit by bit can drag on for weeks, especially when the nearest place to take things is across the city. We bring a full crew and a truck with room for the whole job, so beds, wardrobes, fridges, carpets and bags are all gone in one visit. You only need to tell us what to leave behind.

Doing it yourself

From Granton, the nearest community recycling centre is Seafield, out past Leith, with Sighthill and Craigmillar further away still. Each visit has to be booked in advance as an appointment, and a van or trailer needs its own booked slot and ID, with vans refused entry at Craigmillar entirely. For a house full of furniture, that means several bookings and drives across north Edinburgh.

Estates, new blocks and the shore

Granton's 1930s flats are mostly in low tenement blocks with shared stairs, while newer waterfront buildings tend to have lifts, fob entry and residents' parking courts that a truck cannot always use. The wind off the Forth can be fierce, so we secure loads well. Let us know the type of building and where we can stop, and we will plan the visit around it.

Questions

Granton house clearance FAQs

How much does a house clearance in Granton cost?
We do not use set prices, because the work varies so much. The rate depends on how much needs to go, what type of items are involved, and access, such as floor level, lifts and parking. Send us photos or arrange a visit and you will get an up-front rate agreed before any work is done.
Can you clear a new build flat with a lift and fob entry?
Yes. Many of the newer flats near Granton Harbour have controlled entry and lifts with rules for contractors. Let us know the building manager or factor, and we will follow their requirements, such as protecting the lift or using a particular entrance. Older stair blocks with no lift are cleared by hand, which we do every day.
Can you take the shed down and clear the garden?
Yes. Some Granton homes have gardens with old sheds, broken fencing and overgrown green waste. We can dismantle and remove sheds and fence panels and clear the garden as part of the house clearance or as a separate garden clearance. We cannot take paint, chemicals, fuel or gas bottles left inside sheds.
Do you handle clearances for the council and housing associations?
We carry out void and end of tenancy clearances for landlords and letting agents, and housing providers can arrange them in the same way. We remove everything left inside, sweep the property and leave waste transfer paperwork. As a SEPA registered waste carrier, all of the waste is handled legally and never fly-tipped.
Do you cover Pilton, Muirhouse and Trinity?
Yes. As well as Granton, we clear homes in Pilton, Muirhouse, Silverknowes, Trinity, Wardie, Newhaven and Leith, and across the rest of Edinburgh. Every Edinburgh job is booked ahead and run from our Glasgow depot, and we phone you on the day once the team is on the way.
