How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the probate house clearance at your St Andrews 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 St Andrews. 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 St Andrews 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.
- 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
- 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

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 St Andrews?
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.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every St Andrews 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 St Andrews?
Often, yes. Same-day probate house clearance in St Andrews 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 St Andrews?
Probate House Clearance in St Andrews 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.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at St Andrews properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Which St Andrews postcodes do you cover for probate house clearance?
Yes. Our probate house clearance covers the whole of St Andrews, including the KY16 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Cupar (8.4 miles), Dundee (11 miles) and Kirkcaldy (21 miles) — distances are straight-line from St Andrews. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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