I recently enquired about organising a house and garage clearance after my beloved Nana passed away, and I cannot recommend Alfred and his team enough.
From initial contact to the actual clearance day itself, the service was carried out with dignity and respect. The team worked tirelessly and they even gave the place a clean once they were done moving everything out of the house. Pictures and a video showing every room was also sent by Alfred which I think is a nice touch.
I will be recommending this company for any friends or family who need similar work done.

Very efficient and considerate service. Alfred and his team did a great job with the clearance of the house and garden shed, also hoovered the whole place leaving very little cleaning up to be done. Would recommend to anyone having to clear a loved one's house no matter the circumstances.

Great company, Alfred and his team were great, right from the first contact when I asked for a quote to clear my late Mum & Dads house.
It’s not a nice thing to have to do in clearing out the family home, however Alfred made it all go smoothly with thoughtful service and taking the time to understand my specific situation.
We quickly agreed a date for the clearance, I was kept up to date in the run up to my booked date, and on the morning of my clearance as well.
The team worked really hard in clearing the property quickly but with respect and cleaned up afterwards as well.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company, very thoughtful service with a personal touch which is really important at a difficult time when dealing with a bereavement house clearance.

Can’t recommend this company enough. Alfred was first class to deal with and his team worked tirelessly. A nice touch was contacting us to say they had come across old family photos that we might want to keep. Great service and much appreciated

From our initial contact with Alfred, right through to the day of clearance, Alfred was professional, efficient & kind.
He explained in advance how everything would work on the day of the house clearance and also made contact the day before, just to confirm timings etc. Ours was a house clearance following a family bereavement. Alfred & his team were sensitive to our circumstances which helped the process.
On the day of clearance, the team were excellent. Prompt arrival, exceptionally efficient service and all done in a very reasonable time scale.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alfred and his team.

House Clearance Scotland provided an excellent and highly professional service from initial discussion of the job to the final sweep up leaving a spotless site. Communication throughout was quick and on point, and the team who cleared the house were polite and efficient. Highly recommend.

Alfred got back to me quickly and a suitable date was agreed. The guys called in advance and were friendly and professional - they even came across items I may have wanted to keep from my mums flat when they were doing the clearance. Alfred called me to check everything was going well. The guys even offered to hoover when they were finished! Professional and hassle free service.

Alfred and House Clearance Scotland were absolutely brilliant when I had to clear my mother’s flat.
The guys that did the move were lovely. They were careful and considerate and nothing was too much trouble. On completion Alfred phoned and checked that everything was to my satisfaction, which I thought was a thoughtful thing to do.
I would certainly recommend this company to anyone who needs to clear a loved one’s home.

Can't give a high enough review, outstanding from start to finish.
Alfred was utterly professional and thoroughly reassuring throughout, providing regular updates.
The team were brilliant and went above and beyond clearing several decades of accumulates belongings.
Their quote was more than fair and it was great knowing others will benefit from what was reclaimed.

Alfred responded quickly to my request for an estimate to clear my late sister’s property. He met with us at the property on Wednesday 7th February. He was very friendly, polite and respectful of our situation and took on board all our requirements.
He detailed everything that would be entailed. A date was agreed for the clearance to take place the following Friday 9th February.
Alfred kept us updated online on the day (as we live some distance from the property and couldn’t attend).
The clearance team arrived at 7am and within just over 5hrs everything had been cleared and all the rooms left clean and tidy. Alfred sent pictures of each room cleared and also the shed.
We are very pleased with the service provided and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Professional and efficient service, would highly recommend. They kept me updated each day with photos as they were clearing my parents house. It’s an emotional thing to do clearing your parents belongings and they were thoughtful and careful while clearing, keeping anything of a personal nature and bringing to my attention. A big THANK YOU.

The company arrived on time on the specified day and cleared my Mum's house professionally and with great care. They cleaned afterwards and left everything spotless.
Alfred Cleary is a lovely man and treated us with respect and sympathy and updated us as to the progress throughout the day.
A thoroughly satisfactory experience on a sad day.

Alfred and his team (Gary, Dan and Damian) really delivered an amazing service clearing my late father's property. Not only did they carefully sort and remove my dad's *many* belongings that I simply couldn't re-home, but they also lifted carpets and cleaned the property ready for return to the council. The amazing service started when Alfred gave me a lift from my own home to the property 30 mins away so that he could view in person, and continued with regular WhatsApp updates and photos of the work in progress, giving me peace of mind that all was in safe hands. While I'd retrieved some sentimental items, the team were careful to leave photographs and other useful items that I'd overlooked, and also took great care to ensure the property was left secure and in good order for the council. Would thoroughly recommend!

Quick House Clearance for Refurb
Great responsiveness and turnaround time. Quick, efficient & transparent ( photo & video updates). Alfred did exactly what he said he would do and turned up, called and messaged when he said he would. The important part is that nothing goes to landfill and that local charities benefit. Friendly & professional. Thank you to everyone involved.

Friendly and professional service. The team was able to help on short notice over the holiday period and were very transparent about how they recycle, reuse and dispose of the items they collected.
Easy payment via card on the day of collection and the invoice followed a few days later.

When needed a house clearance of my late mother's flat Alfred and his team really provided a 5 star service. They made a difficult time a good bit easier as they cleared out everything as requested, even taking up carpets and left the flat looking spotless. I would have no hesitation recommending this company or using them again should we need them. Also. I like that items are distributed to different charities and not just sent to landfill. Catherine.

I didn’t know where to start with my aunt’s house clearance, but a work colleague recommended this firm to me and the clearance process went very quickly and smoothly with the house being perfectly cleaned and presented within a few weeks of my initial enquiry. Not just the house, but a thorough job on the garden and garage clearance as well. This will give my aunt a very good chance of getting a good sale on her house in the new year.
I highly recommend Alfred and his hard working team and would use them again.
