House clearance in Edinburgh

Your local clearance team

Edinburgh is about forty-five miles east of Glasgow along the M8, and we serve the city from our depot in Glasgow's east end, with each job arranged in advance. The capital has every type of home: tenement flats in Leith, Gorgie, Dalry and Bruntsfield, Georgian townhouses and flats in the New Town, older closes in the Old Town, bungalows and villas in Corstorphine and Morningside, and ex-council estates in Wester Hailes, Muirhouse, Pilton and Niddrie. We clear all of them.

We clear houses for families, executors and solicitors, and void properties for landlords and letting agents. Send photographs or book a visit and we will agree an up-front rate. On the day the team calls ahead, carries everything out, dismantles larger furniture, lifts carpets if needed and sweeps up before leaving. Personal items and valuables we find are handed over, and anything you want kept is left in place. Everything goes back to Glasgow for sorting, with over 90% 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 Edinburgh

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

One visit, planned in advance

Clearing an Edinburgh flat yourself often means several journeys through busy traffic, then hunting for somewhere to stop near the door each time. Because we travel through from Glasgow, we plan the job so that one truck and one team take everything in a single visit. You agree a date with us, give us access, and the property is empty and swept when we drive away.

Doing it yourself

City of Edinburgh Council runs community recycling centres at Seafield, Sighthill and Craigmillar, and you need a booked appointment to visit any of them. If you plan to use a van or a trailer, you must book a slot and bring ID, and Craigmillar does not accept vans at all. For a whole flat or house, that is a lot of separate bookings to arrange around work and family.

Closes, stairs and parking controls

The Old Town and New Town together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and clearing a flat there often means narrow closes, long common stairs and listed buildings where care is needed with walls and banisters. Much of central Edinburgh has controlled parking, so we plan where the truck can stop before the day. Tell us the floor level, the stair and any parking permits, and we will arrange the rest.

Questions

Edinburgh house clearance FAQs

Get a Quote
How much does a house clearance in Edinburgh cost?
We do not work from a set price list, because every property is different. The rate depends on the volume, the type of items and the access, and in Edinburgh access matters a great deal: a fourth-floor New Town flat with no lift and restricted parking takes more work than a Corstorphine bungalow with a driveway. Photographs or a visit let us agree an up-front rate before any work starts.
Are you based in Edinburgh?
No. Our only depot is in the east end of Glasgow, and we cover Edinburgh from there. Rather than offering short-notice slots, we book each Edinburgh clearance ahead of time and plan it fully, including parking and access, so the right truck and team arrive together. Items are taken back to Glasgow, where they are sorted for reuse, charity and recycling.
Can you work in streets with controlled parking?
Yes. Much of central Edinburgh, including the New Town, the Old Town, Bruntsfield and Leith, has parking controls. We look at the street before the day and plan where the truck can stop, and if a permit is needed we talk it through with you in advance. Letting us know about loading restrictions or a residents' parking zone helps us plan properly.
Do I need to be there when you clear the flat?
Not at all. Many customers, particularly executors and people who live outside Edinburgh, leave keys with us or with a neighbour. We agree beforehand what should stay, clear everything else, and keep aside documents, photographs, jewellery or cash we come across to return to you. Paperwork is left once the work is complete. If a death is involved, see our guide to who clears a house when someone dies.
Can you get a sofa down a tenement stair?
Yes. Our team carries sofas, wardrobes and beds down common stairs, and we dismantle what we can so it fits through doors and around landings. Sofas and armchairs stay whole and separate in the truck so they can go for the correct treatment under Scottish rules on persistent organic pollutants. We do not take asbestos, paint, chemicals, gas bottles or fuel.
Do you clear rented flats for Edinburgh letting agents?
Yes. We carry out void and end of tenancy clearances for landlords and letting agents across the city, from student flats in Newington and Marchmont to family homes in the suburbs. We remove whatever has been left, leave the property swept and ready for cleaning, and provide paperwork when we finish. As a SEPA-registered waste carrier, we handle everything we remove legally.
