Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Turnham Green, probate and bereavement clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £520. With 57% of Chiswick's 15,273 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W4 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Probate, grant of letters of administration or written next of kin authority is checked before a date is booked, so there is never a dispute about who instructed the clearance.
Step 2
Drawers, files, pockets and furniture are checked for wills, deeds and paperwork before anything is loaded, and everything found is returned to the executor unopened.
Step 3
The executor confirms in writing what is being kept, sold, donated or disposed of, so the clearance itself has no ambiguity on the day.
Step 4
The property is cleared respectfully, with retained items boxed separately and items of possible value held aside for valuation.
Step 5
A deep clean, dated photographs and the keys returned, with the handover pack ready for the estate agent or solicitor's file.
Why choose us
Two to three operatives as standard, scaling up for a full house with a tight sale deadline. A single point of contact is assigned for the duration of the instruction. Conservation-area rules, A4 red route and very tight CPZ around Turnham Green.
Three to five working days for a full property once authority and the retention list are confirmed, faster where the family has already sorted personal items. Turnham Green (District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a W4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Chiswick, with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Hounslow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
We act only on confirmed executor, administrator or next of kin instruction, verified in writing before the first visit. Registered waste carrier with a transfer note per load, and secure, documented return of any paperwork or valuables found.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-bed flat, full contents | £520 | 1 day | A complete clear with an itemised retention list, priced by volume once the executor has confirmed what is being kept, sold or donated. |
| Two/three-bed house, full contents | £980 | 1–2 days | A larger property holds a lifetime of possessions, and sorting for the family before loading takes longer than an equivalent house clearance for a move. |
| Retained items packed and stored, per box | £12 | included | Items the family wants to keep are boxed and labelled separately rather than mixed into the same load as items for disposal. |
| Document and paperwork search, per visit | £150 | 2–3 hrs | A dedicated pass through drawers, files and furniture for wills, deeds, bank correspondence and photographs before general clearance begins. |
| Donation and valuation liaison, per item | £40 | by arrangement | Furniture or items of possible value are held aside and referred to a valuer or charity the family nominates, rather than cleared with everything else. |
| Sale-ready clean and photograph handover | £320 | 4–6 hrs | A deep clean and dated photographs once the property is empty, which most estate agents ask for before marketing a probate sale. |

Scope
