House Clearance Greenock

Homes cleared across Greenock and the rest of Inverclyde, from the villas of the West End to flats near the Clyde, with the lifting, loading, sorting and final sweep all done by our own team.

House clearance in Greenock

Your local clearance team

Greenock looks out over the Clyde at the Tail of the Bank, with Gourock running straight into it on the west side and Port Glasgow on the east. Our trucks leave the east end of Glasgow, follow the M8 west and pick up the A8 along the river, so the whole of Inverclyde is within easy reach. We work in every corner of the town, from Cartsdyke and Bogston to Larkfield, Branchton and the slopes around Lyle Hill.

A clearance with us can be one stubborn room or every room, plus the loft, the shed and the garden. Send a few photos or ask for a visit and we will agree an up-front rate before anything moves. On the day, the crew phones when they are close, takes apart wardrobes and beds, lifts carpets and fills the truck, then sweeps through before handing back the keys. The load comes back to Glasgow for sorting, where more than nine in every ten items find a second use or are 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

What to expect when clearing a Greenock home

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

A single trip down the Clyde

Clearing a Greenock house on your own tends to mean a borrowed car, folded-down seats and a queue at Pottery Street every weekend for a month. Our crew brings one truck and enough people to empty the property in a single visit, whether that is a three-piece suite, a garage full of tools or forty years of boxes in the loft. Nothing is left on the pavement, and you are not ferrying anything anywhere yourself.

Doing it yourself in Inverclyde

Inverclyde has two recycling centres, and both are strictly for residents bringing their own household rubbish, never trade waste. Craigmuschat Quarry in Gourock admits cars only and has taken recyclable materials alone since October 2023. General waste, fridges, vans and trailers all go to Pottery Street in Greenock instead, and a van or trailer must be booked in there first. Site staff are not allowed to help with lifting, so anything you bring has to be something you can unload safely by yourself.

Steep streets, stairs and sandstone

Greenock climbs sharply from the waterfront, and that shapes most of our jobs here. The West End around Fort Matilda has big Victorian sandstone villas with long front steps, the town centre has tenement flats on shared stairs, and estates such as Gibshill, Larkfield and Branchton mix houses with low-rise flats. When you get in touch, mention the floor, any steps down to the street and where a truck can stop, and we will send the right number of hands.

Questions

Greenock house clearance FAQs

What decides the price of clearing a house in Greenock?
Three things, mostly: the volume of furniture and belongings, what those items are, and how easy it is to get them out. A ground floor flat near the Esplanade is a different job from a top floor tenement or a villa with a steep drive. Send photos or book a visit and you will get an up-front rate before we start, so there is nothing to work out on the day.
Is Gourock, Port Glasgow or Inverkip too far for you?
Not at all. Our Inverclyde work covers Greenock, Gourock, Port Glasgow, Inverkip and Wemyss Bay, and we often pass through Erskine, Renfrew and Paisley on the road back to the depot. Every job is planned ahead, so tell us the dates that suit you and we will fit the team around them.
Which Inverclyde recycling centre will take a van?
Only Pottery Street in Greenock, and the van has to be booked in ahead of time. Craigmuschat Quarry in Gourock turns vans away and only takes recyclables. If hiring a van, booking a slot and doing every bit of the unloading yourself sounds like too much, our crew can take the full contents of the house in one go.
What happens to an old sofa from a Greenock flat?
Sofas, armchairs and other upholstered seats are kept in one piece and loaded separately from everything else. Scottish rules on persistent organic pollutants, known as POPs, mean they need a particular kind of treatment, so we make sure they reach it. If a sofa has to come down a tenement stair, we carry it, and if a bed or wardrobe needs taking apart first, we do that as well.
Can you clear a relative's home if the family lives elsewhere?
Yes, and plenty of families with roots in Greenock are in exactly that position. You can leave keys with us or with a neighbour, agree the job from photos and stay where you are. Anything you have asked us to keep is put aside, and documents, photographs, jewellery or cash that turn up are passed back to you. Our guide to who clears a house when someone dies covers the wider process.
