Deceased estate clearance across Melbourne
Full house clearances and deceased estate rubbish removal, handled slowly and respectfully. Valuables set aside for the family, and we can work directly with the executor, solicitor or agent.
Dealing with the estate of a loved one is never easy. Our deceased estate removal service is carried out with the utmost care, sensitivity, and respect. We understand this is a difficult time, and we aim to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Our experienced team will carefully clear the entire property, room by room. We take the time to separate items that may be donated to charity from those that need to be disposed of, ensuring nothing of value is accidentally discarded.
We coordinate with real estate agents, solicitors, and family members to schedule the clearance at a time that works for everyone. From furniture and personal belongings to appliances, clothing, and general household items - we take care of everything.
What's Included
Clearing a parent's or relative's home is one of the harder jobs a family ever has to organise, and it usually arrives at the worst possible time. We handle deceased estate clearance across Melbourne - the full house clearance, room by room, at whatever pace the family needs.
Whether you need a complete estate clearance before a sale, a deceased estate rubbish removal after the family has taken what they want, or simply a careful clean-up of what is left behind, we do the lifting and the sorting. Nothing that looks personal or valuable goes in the truck.
We clear estates right across the city, and most often through the bayside and inner-south suburbs - Brighton, Black Rock, Albert Park, Middle Park, Port Melbourne, Chelsea and Aspendale - as well as the eastern suburbs and everywhere in between. If a solicitor, executor or agent is managing the property, we can deal with them directly and keep the family out of the logistics entirely.
How an estate clearance works with us
House clearances, start to finish
A full house clearance is different from a rubbish removal. There is no skip on the nature strip and no crew working through the place at speed. We start where the family wants us to start, work one room at a time, and keep going until the property is empty and clean.
That includes the parts people dread: the shed that has not been opened in fifteen years, the garage full of tools, the wardrobes, the roof space, the garden. We take furniture, whitegoods, clothing, bedding, kitchenware, books, paperwork, garden waste and general household rubbish - and we leave the rooms swept and ready for photographs, an inspection or a settlement.
If the estate is only partly cleared, that is fine too. Plenty of families take what they want first and call us for everything that is left. Tell us what is staying and we work around it.
The things that matter do not get thrown
Families tell us their biggest fear is a keepsake ending up in the truck. Our crews clear estates every week, and they are trained to stop and set aside:
Everything set aside is handed directly back to the family or the executor.
What happens to anything of value
We are not valuers, and we do not buy anything out of an estate. That is deliberate, and worth saying plainly: the people clearing a house should have no interest in what is inside it.
What we do is stop and set aside. Anything that looks like it carries value, sentimental or otherwise, is put to one side and handed back to the family or the executor. We would rather return a box of things you decide to throw away yourself than make that call on your behalf.
If something needs a proper opinion - jewellery, a collection, a piece of furniture that might be worth more than it looks - tell us and we will leave that room alone. Plenty of executors have a valuer or an auction house through before we start, and that is the right order to do it in. We are happy to wait, work around what has been set aside, or come back afterwards for the rest.
Who we work with
Whatever can be donated, is. Usable furniture, clothing and household goods go to charity rather than landfill - around 80% of what we collect is donated or recycled. It matters to us, and we know it often matters to the family.
We are a family-run team based in Oakleigh, and the people who quote your job are the people who turn up to do it - most often Kosta, Peter, Jonny or Matt. You will find them named throughout our Google reviews, which is the best sense you can get of what a day with us is actually like.
Common questions from families
There is no rush, and no obligation
If you are not ready to book anything, that is completely fine. Ring and talk it through - we will tell you roughly what is involved and what it costs, and you can go away and think about it. A lot of people call us weeks before they need us, just to know what happens next.
