House clearance in Pilton

Your local clearance team

Pilton is in the north of Edinburgh, on the north side of Ferry Road, with Muirhouse to the west and Granton, Wardieburn and Royston Mains to the north and east. We come through on the M8 from our depot in the east end of Glasgow. The area is two housing schemes: West Pilton, built by the council between the 1930s and 1950s and now largely privately owned, and East Pilton, laid out in the 1930s with four-in-a-block flatted villas on streets mostly named Crewe or Pilton.

That mix of owners and tenants means we clear Pilton homes for families, executors, private landlords and people moving on. Our team empties every room, takes down wardrobes and beds, lifts carpets and underlay, and clears out the loft space and any garden shed. We work to an up-front rate agreed before the day, call ahead before arriving and leave paperwork when the job is done. All of it returns to Glasgow, where we sort it 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 Pilton

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

Why one visit beats many trips

A Pilton maisonette or upper cottage flat might only be a few rooms, but getting a bed, wardrobes, a washing machine and a sofa down a stair and into a family car is close to impossible. Our team takes care of the carrying and loading in one planned visit, and keeps upholstered seating whole and separate so it can be treated correctly under Scottish rules on persistent organic pollutants.

Doing it yourself

The council's three community recycling centres are at Seafield, Sighthill and Craigmillar, and none of them is especially close to Pilton. All three work on booked appointments. If you hire a van or tow a trailer, book a van slot and take ID with you, and do not head for Craigmillar, which does not take vans. Allow for several separate bookings if you are clearing a full house on your own.

Four-in-a-block flats, maisonettes and towers

East Pilton is mostly four-in-a-block flatted villas, where the upper flats usually have their own entrance and there are small gardens front and back. West Pilton mixes three-storey blocks, maisonettes and taller blocks of flats. Ferry Road and Crewe Road North carry a lot of traffic, so it helps to know the nearest side street where the truck can stop. Let us know which floor you are on and whether there is a lift.

Questions

Pilton house clearance FAQs

How much is a house clearance in Pilton?
It depends on the size of the job rather than the postcode. We look at the number of rooms and how full they are, the type of items, and whether there are stairs, a lift or a long walk to the truck. Photos or a short visit let us give you an up-front rate, which you agree before any work is carried out.
Do you clear the loft and the garden shed?
Yes. Lofts in Pilton cottage flats and houses often hold decades of boxes, suitcases, Christmas decorations and old furniture, and we bring everything down safely. Sheds can be emptied or taken down completely, and we clear garden waste, slabs of turf and old fence panels as well. We do leave paint tins, fuel and other chemicals, which we are not able to take.
I live away from Edinburgh. Can you clear my late father's flat in Pilton without me?
Yes. Many families arrange the whole clearance by phone and email. You can leave keys with us or a neighbour, tell us what to keep, and we will set aside anything personal or valuable we find, such as documents, photographs or cash. Our guide to who clears a house when someone dies covers the wider process in Scotland, from the executry to handing back the keys.
Is there anything you will not take?
We take almost everything from a normal home, including furniture, beds, white goods, electricals, carpets, clothes and general rubbish. We do not remove asbestos or hazardous waste such as chemicals, paint, gas bottles and fuel, so those need to be dealt with separately. If you are unsure about an item, show us in your photos and we will tell you before the day.
Do you cover Granton and Muirhouse as well?
Yes. We clear homes right across north Edinburgh, including Granton, Muirhouse, Drylaw, Trinity and Inverleith, so a property a few streets away from Pilton is no problem. If you have more than one property to clear in the area, tell us and we can plan them together around your dates.
