House clearance in Niddrie

Your local clearance team

Niddrie sits in south east Edinburgh, west of Musselburgh and south west of Portobello, with its western edge running into Craigmillar and the Fort Kinnaird retail park close by. Coming from our Glasgow depot, we follow the M8 and the City Bypass round the south of the city to reach it. The original Niddrie Mains council estate dates from the late 1920s and 1930s, and most of it has since been replaced, including the low-rise streets of the Hays and the newer regeneration housing.

Many Niddrie homes are now two-storey houses or ground floor flats with gardens, so a clearance here often covers the garden as well as the rooms. We take household furniture, kitchen appliances, bedding, toys, carpets and rubbish bagged up outside, and we can take down an old shed. You get a rate up front from photos or a visit, and our team calls ahead before arriving. We sweep before we go, and everything is sorted back in Glasgow so that over 90% is 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 Niddrie

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

Everything out in one visit

Even a small Niddrie house fills a car many times over once the beds, a sofa, a fridge freezer and the garden rubbish are counted. Our crew does the lifting, takes bulky furniture apart, rolls up carpets and loads the truck in one planned visit, so there is no need to borrow a van or ask neighbours for a hand. Because we are a SEPA registered waste carrier, it all goes for sorting legally rather than being dumped.

Doing it yourself

The council's Craigmillar community recycling centre is the closest to Niddrie, and like Seafield and Sighthill it only takes visitors with a booked appointment. The catch is that Craigmillar does not accept vans, so a hired van has to be booked into Seafield or Sighthill instead, with ID shown on arrival. For a whole house, that means juggling several bookings, borrowing or hiring a vehicle and doing all the heavy lifting yourself.

New houses, older flats and parking

Much of Niddrie is now made up of two-storey houses with front and back gardens, some on pedestrianised streets, alongside newer flats built as part of the regeneration. Where a home faces a footpath rather than a road, we may need to carry items some distance from where the truck can stop, so mention this when you send photos. Tell us the nearest street with room to park and we will plan the carry from there.

Questions

Niddrie house clearance FAQs

What affects the price of a clearance in Niddrie?
The main factors are how much there is, what it is and how easy it is to get out. A furnished three-bedroom house with a full garden is a bigger job than a one-bedroom flat with a few items left. Send us photos or arrange a visit and we will agree an up-front rate with you before anything is moved.
Do you clear homes for landlords at the end of a tenancy?
Yes. When a tenant leaves furniture, bags or white goods behind, we clear the property and leave it swept so it can be cleaned and let again. We provide waste transfer paperwork for landlords and letting agents, and if you cannot be there, keys can be left with us. Jobs are planned around your dates and the date the next tenancy starts.
Will you clear the garden as well as the house?
Yes. We can clear overgrown green waste, broken garden furniture, old fence panels, children's play equipment and a shed, as well as everything inside. If the garden needs more than a tidy up, our garden clearance service covers larger jobs. Let us know what is outside when you send photos so that the rate covers the whole property.
Can you clear a home where someone died and was not found for some time?
Yes. We carry out unattended death clearances, working discreetly and with care for the family and the neighbours. Let us know the circumstances when you get in touch so that we can plan the job properly. We can set aside personal items, paperwork and anything else the family wants to keep, and you do not need to be present while we work.
Do I need to empty anything before you arrive?
No. Leave everything where it is, including drawers, cupboards and the loft, and we will clear it for you. If there are things you want to keep, take them away beforehand or label them clearly and we will leave them. Bagged rubbish in the garden or by the bins can go on the truck too, provided it belongs to your property.
