House clearance · since 2006
Since 2006 we have offered something a little different: a female-led house clearance service that guides you one step at a time. There is nothing to box, sort or pack beforehand. Once you have decided to go ahead, you can genuinely leave the rest to us.
How we help
Clearing a home is rarely just a practical job. It often comes at a difficult time, after losing someone, helping a relative downsize, or preparing a property for sale, and that is exactly why Female Valuers exists. We handle everything with care and discretion, work at your pace, and leave the property clean and clear. You won’t be left to do this alone.
Whether it is a single room or an entire property, we clear homes of all kinds, neatly, on time, and with a sensitive one-to-one touch when it matters most.
We will remove furniture, white goods, bric-a-brac, linen, clothes and paperwork, take down curtains and lift carpets if you would like, then sweep, clean and hoover so the property is left ready for whatever comes next. No job is too big or too small, and there is no need to separate or prepare anything first.
Lofts and cellars have a way of quietly filling up over the years, and often become difficult to reach just when you need to clear them.
If you cannot get up into the loft or down into the cellar yourself, we will bring everything up or down for you: storage boxes, old furniture, and the odds and ends gathered over decades. You are welcome to sort through it all and check nothing is needed before it leaves the property.
Garages fill up with things that might come in handy one day, and somehow there is never room for the car.
We regularly clear garages of old furniture, mystery boxes, and the tins of paint and pesticides that need careful disposal. Whether you are reclaiming the space or clearing the whole property, we will empty it and sweep it through, leaving it clean and usable.
Sheds, log cabins and greenhouses are perfect for storing bits and bobs, right up until they are full to the door.
We will empty the building and sort everything as we go, so usable items can be re-homed, suitable materials recycled, and any chemicals or pesticides disposed of responsibly and safely.
Moving on, downsizing or closing premises? We clear offices and commercial spaces with the same care we bring to homes.
Furniture, equipment, files and fittings are removed cleanly and with minimal disruption, and confidential paperwork is handled responsibly.
Flats bring their own challenges, stairs, lifts, parking and access, and we are well used to all of them.
We will clear a flat of any size efficiently and considerately, keeping communal areas clean and clear as we work.
Clearing the estate of someone who has passed is one of the hardest tasks a family can face, and it is where our one-to-one approach matters most. We will move at your pace, treat every item and every memory with respect, and take care of the practical side so you do not have to.
Where a written valuation is needed for probate, we also prepare valuations in line with HM Revenue & Customs requirements. You can read more on our probate valuations page.
Tired carpets hold odours and can make a property feel unloved, so we are often asked to take them up, either as part of a clearance or as a job on its own.
We are happy to remove carpets, the underlay beneath, and curtains, and we sweep and hoover the floors afterwards so the space feels fresh again.
Stairlifts are a lifeline when they are needed, and when they are not, they need removing properly.
Whether you are clearing a property for sale or returning a rental, we will remove the stairlift and all its components, take it away, and vacuum the area so it is left neat and tidy.
We finish every clearance by leaving the property as clean as we can, with floors and window sills hoovered, and walls and ceilings seen to where dust and cobwebs have gathered.
If you would like a deeper clean, we can arrange and quote for that separately.
~80%Recycled
Kind to the planet
We genuinely can’t bear to see things go to waste. We aim to recycle around 80% of everything we clear, finding new homes for useful items, sorting materials such as wood, metal, textiles and cardboard for recycling, and disposing of the rest responsibly.
We can even donate suitable items to a charity of your choosing, so the causes you care about benefit too.
Among the contents of a property there are often pieces with real value. We buy antiques, collectables, furniture and other household items, and because anything of value can be offset against the cost, a clearance can sometimes work out cheaper than you would expect. If you think there might be something worth a look, just ask and we will be glad to advise.
