How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the probate house clearance at your Balerno address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Balerno. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected probate house clearance from Balerno is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Probate House Clearance starts from £280. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate

What we do and do not take
We do not value, auction or purchase estate contents, and we do not act as executors. Anything that may hold value should be seen by a valuer before we clear — we will happily wait.
All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Probate House Clearance FAQs
Can you clear before probate is granted in Balerno?
Contents can usually be dealt with once the executor instructs, but the estate's solicitor should confirm first. We are not able to advise on that.
What happens to paperwork you find?
It is boxed and handed to the executor, never disposed of. The same applies to photographs, jewellery and anything that looks like a document of title.
Do you buy anything of value?
No. Buying from an estate we are clearing is a conflict of interest — get a valuer in before we attend.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Balerno?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium probate house clearance loads in Balerno, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Balerno collection is carried out by a registered waste carrier and taken to a licensed facility. Waste transfer documentation is issued where duty of care applies.
Can you collect the same day in Balerno?
Often, yes. Same-day probate house clearance in Balerno depends on vehicle availability at the time you call. If we cannot reach you today we will say so rather than take the booking and let you down.
How much does probate house clearance cost in Balerno?
Probate House Clearance in Balerno starts from £280. The final figure depends on volume, weight and access. Send photographs on WhatsApp and we confirm a fixed price rather than an hourly guess.

Yes. Our probate house clearance covers Balerno and its EH27, EH14, EH91 and EH28 postcode districts. We also collect from neighbouring Currie (1.8 miles), Broxburn (5.8 miles) and Penicuik (6.2 miles) — distances are straight-line from Balerno.

Moving as well as clearing in Balerno?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Balerno, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
