Clearing a Probate Property Is One Less Thing to Worry About
When someone passes away, the last thing you need is the stress of figuring out what to do with a lifetime of belongings.
As an executor or family member, you're already dealing with grief, legal paperwork, and the pressure of managing an estate. The property often sits empty — a constant reminder of everything that still needs to be done before probate can complete.
That's where we come in.
Simple As Clearance specialises in probate house clearances across London and the South East. We've spent over five years working exclusively with families, executors and probate solicitors — and we understand that this isn't just a clearance job. It's someone's home, someone's life, and it deserves to be treated that way.

What Makes Us Different
Most clearance companies treat every job the same. We don't.
Probate clearances require a different level of care. Before anything is removed from a property, our team carefully sorts through all contents — identifying photographs, personal documents, sentimental items and valuables that need to be returned to the family or estate.
We regularly find items that other companies would simply clear away: jewellery left in drawers, cash in envelopes, important documents tucked into books. We set everything aside, photograph it, and ensure it reaches the right hands.
Once the careful sort is complete, we clear the property efficiently — donating usable items to charity, recycling where possible, and ensuring responsible disposal of everything else. We provide full waste transfer documentation as standard.
The result: a property that is clean, empty, and ready for the next stage — whether that's sale, renovation or handover.

What Our Clients Say

"Excellent service from the start. Ellis responded to my enquiry very quickly and came on a bank holiday to provide a quote. On the day of the clearance the team turned up on time and did a great job. Very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend."
"Had a house clearance for my nan who sadly passed away on Saturday. The 3 young guys who came were brilliant. Had a phone call before they came to say they were on their way and would be 20 minutes. The guys were very professional, polite and explained what they were going to do — I just left them to it. They never stopped from the time they arrived to the time they left. Would very highly recommend."

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you carry out a probate clearance? In most cases we can schedule within 5–10 working days. For urgent situations — for example where a property needs to be cleared ahead of a sale — we will do everything we can to accommodate a faster turnaround. Call us to discuss.
Do I need to be present during the clearance? No. Many executors and family members prefer not to be present, and we fully understand that. We can collect keys from a nominated contact and keep you updated throughout the day. We'll send photos on completion.
What happens to the items you remove? Usable furniture and household items are donated to charity where possible. Everything else is sorted for recycling or responsible disposal. We provide full waste transfer documentation and aim for zero landfill on every job.
What if valuables are found during the clearance? Any items we identify as potentially valuable — jewellery, documents, cash, antiques, collectables — are immediately set aside, photographed, and reported to you before removal. We work with a trusted auction house if you need help valuing or selling items.
Do you clear hoarded or heavily cluttered properties?
Yes. We regularly carry out clearances on hoarded and heavily cluttered properties, including full hoarding situations. We understand that these properties can feel overwhelming to deal with — and that families are sometimes embarrassed or unsure who to call.
We approach every hoarded property with the same care and sensitivity as any other probate clearance. Our team sorts carefully through all contents regardless of condition, ensuring nothing of value or sentimental importance is missed. No job is too large or too complex for us to handle.
If you're unsure whether we can help with a particular property, just call us and we'll give you an honest answer.
How much does a probate house clearance cost? Costs vary depending on the size of the property and volume of contents. We provide a fixed quote before any work begins — either based on photos you send us or following a free site visit. There are no hidden charges.
Are you insured and licensed? Yes. We are fully insured and hold a registered waste carrier licence (CBDU369568). We carry all documentation required for estate and probate work.
Can you liaise with the estate agent or solicitor directly? Absolutely. We're used to working as part of a wider probate team and are happy to coordinate directly with solicitors, estate agents or other professionals involved in the estate.
