Moving & Downsizing Clearance
Moving home or downsizing almost always means some things aren't coming with you. We clear exactly what's being left behind, so you can focus on the move itself.
What's included
This service covers whatever's being left behind when you move — furniture that won't fit the new place, belongings you've decided not to take, or the general contents of rooms you're not keeping. It can run alongside your moving timeline, either clearing items before the move itself or coming in once the move is complete to deal with what's left. If you're downsizing into a smaller property, we can help clear the difference between what you have now and what will actually fit, working from a list of what's staying if that's helpful.
Who this is for
This service suits anyone moving to a new home who doesn't want to take everything with them, people downsizing into a smaller property or a retirement home, and families helping a relative move somewhere more manageable. It's also useful if you're moving out before a sale completes and need the property emptied of anything not going with you, on a schedule that fits around exchange and completion dates.
How it works
Tell us your moving date and roughly what's being left behind, and we'll quote based on that. If you're still deciding what's coming with you, we can talk through timing so the clearance happens once those decisions are made — there's no need to have a final list before getting in touch. Once agreed, we arrange a date that fits your move, which might be just before you leave, on moving day itself, or shortly after, depending on what works best.
Things to know
If your move is tied to a completion date, it's worth telling us early, since those dates can shift and we'd rather plan around a realistic timeline than a fixed one that changes. Similarly, if you're still sorting what's staying and what's going, that's completely normal — most people are in a similar position, and we're used to working with an evolving list. [Details on how cleared items are handled afterwards — reuse, donation, recycling, and disposal — will be added here once confirmed.] Get in touch with your dates and we'll help you plan around them.
Common questions
Can this happen on moving day itself?
Yes, we can arrange the clearance for just before, during, or shortly after your move — whatever suits your day.
What if my completion date changes?
That’s common with house moves — let us know as soon as it shifts and we’ll replan around it.
Do I need a final list of what’s staying before contacting you?
No, we’re used to working with an evolving list — get in touch whenever you’re ready.
Can you help with downsizing into a smaller home?
Yes, we can clear the difference between what you have and what will fit in the new property.
