Free House Clearance Galashiels – Case Study

We recently completed a free house clearance in Galashiels for a client whose late aunt’s home needed to be emptied.

Customer Requirements

“My aunt’s house in Galashiels has been sitting untouched for months since she passed. She lived there for over 30 years, and while we’ve kept sentimental items, there’s still a lot of furniture, clothes, and general clutter. The attic and garage are full as well, with old suitcases, books, and gardening tools. I need everything cleared so we can put the house on the market.”

Contents Overview

The property contained a mix of furniture, household items, and stored belongings, including:

• A large oak sideboard and a dining table with six chairs
• A floral-patterned three-piece suite, well-used but still in good condition
• A bookshelf packed with novels, recipe books, and family photo albums
• A collection of porcelain ornaments and vintage trinkets
• A wardrobe full of clothing, scarves, and handbags
• An attic filled with Christmas decorations, old letters, and boxes of paperwork
• A garage cluttered with DIY tools, gardening equipment, and an old lawnmower

The House Clearance in Galashiels

We arrived early in the morning and met with Claire, the client, to do a final walkthrough. She had already removed sentimental items but wanted to check a few things as we cleared each room.

We started in the living area, carefully removing furniture and setting aside anything suitable for donation. The bookshelf was sorted, with books packed up for charity and personal photos set aside for Claire. In the attic, we worked methodically to bring everything down, allowing her to check through old letters and keepsakes before we cleared the rest.

The garage was the biggest challenge, filled with years of stored tools and household items. We separated what could be donated from what needed to be responsibly disposed of, ensuring the space was left completely clear.

By the afternoon, the house was fully cleared, ready for the next steps.

Client Review

“I wasn’t sure where to start with this, but the team made the whole process simple. They were efficient but patient, giving me time to go through a few last things. I’m so relieved to have it done, and I can now focus on selling the house. Thank you for making a difficult job so much easier.”
