Our Core Service
A full, respectful clearance of a loved one's home — sorted, removed and documented, so you don't have to.
Deceased estate clearance is the process of sorting, removing and responsibly disposing of a person's household belongings after they've passed away, usually once probate or the executor's legal authority allows the property to be cleared. It covers everything from furniture and whitegoods to the smaller, harder items — years of paperwork, wardrobes, garden sheds and garages — and ends with the property left clean and ready for sale, lease or handover.
We handle the whole process ourselves: a fixed quote up front, careful sorting by hand rather than a blanket clear-out, donation of usable items to Melbourne charities, recycling and responsible disposal of the rest, and a written inventory at the end so executors have a clear record for beneficiaries. Sentimental and valuable items are always set aside separately for the family to review first.
If you've just been given the go-ahead to clear a deceased estate, the most important thing is confirming you have the legal authority to do so — as the named executor, an administrator appointed by the court, or with the agreement of all beneficiaries. We always check this with you before scheduling any work. Once that's confirmed, timing usually comes down to whatever deadline is driving the clearance: a property settlement date, a lease ending, or simply wanting to move things forward. Tell us the date you're working to and we'll build the quote around it.
No two estates are the same, and we've cleared all kinds: a long-term family home where three generations of belongings have accumulated in the same garage; a downsized unit where an elderly parent moved into care years before passing; a property that's been vacant for months and needs a full clean-out before it can go to market; and estates where the executor lives interstate or overseas and needs a team they can trust to handle everything without supervision.
Every drawer, cupboard, wardrobe, garage and shed is gone through by hand, not swept into a single pile.
Usable furniture and goods go to Melbourne charities; recyclables are separated out; only genuine waste goes to landfill.
Beds, lounges, fridges, washing machines — all removed and taken away, no matter how heavy or awkward.
Photographs, letters, jewellery and documents are set aside separately, never assumed to be rubbish.
A basic sweep-out is included; a full sale-ready clean can be arranged if needed.
We work to your timeline and won't start before you have legal clearance to proceed.
