My sister and I engaged with Alfred in regard to a house clearance following our mother's move to sheltered housing. Alfred was very helpful and we arranged a clearance date, at very short notice. However, my sister and I (with help from other family members) were subsequently able to clear the property. Alfred was very understanding and was happy to cancel the clearance, without any problem. We would thoroughly recommend this Company and will most definitely engaging their services if we need such in the future.

From my home in the South of England, I helped arrange for Alfred, Gary and Dan to help my uncle, a recently bereaved hoarder, clear the downstairs of his Edinburgh house. They showed immense compassion and understanding during what could have been a really traumatic experience. Both my uncle and myself were impressed with the service provided, the amount achieved in a day and the kindness of the team. I was kept up to date with photos and videos during the day and a phone call the following day. I would definitely recommend Alfred and his team for house clearance jobs in difficult circumstances and hope to use them again when my uncle is ready to tackle the rest of the house.

Alfred took the time to meet with me first and I appreciated his personal touch in getting to know a bit about us and the circumstances around the house clearance, he showed his passion for his company. Gary and Dan did a fantastic job. They were professional, efficient and respectful.
The whole experience was positive from start to finish and I would hire them again in the future as well as recommend them to anyone who needs a house cleared. Thank you to the whole team!

From the outset, Alfred gave me peace of mind that clearing our late parents’ house, our family home for 48 years, would be done with empathy and care, taking the huge task of emptying it for the new owners off our hands.
Alfred himself inspected the house and contents, which included many pieces of furniture handed down through several generations, and gave us a fair and thorough quote to empty it of all contents, whilst also assuring us that all reusable items would be donated to people in need of them.
He and his team arrived on time on the agreed date, and over the course of 2 days, emptied the house (4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 public rooms, diningroom, kitchen, utility room and attic), laying removable plastic runners to protect the carpets throughout the house during the job. (They also suggested leaving this plastic down for the new owners move-in, which we did).
Knowing that all reusable items in the house would be upcycled and donated to people in need of them was the main reason we chose House Clearance Scotland, having met with 2 other companies. The price was fair given the enormous scope of the job, the time it would take, and the cost of disposal and recycling of items which were not reusable.
Even when I inadvertantly left items in the drawers of a dresser that had been removed, Alfred went above and beyond, retrieving the items from the dresser (by this time in storage) and returning them to me the next day.
I can’t thank Alfred and his team enough for taking care of what seemed an overwhelming and daunting task for us, with care, empathy and compassion, and for making sure people in need would benefit from vast majority of the house contents.

Relatively small job, but very efficiently carried out. We were coming up from London to clear some items from the flat we owned in St Andrews prior to selling it. Alfred and his team turned up on time as arranged and did the job very efficiently. Thank you very much.

It is never an easy time when you have to empty a loved ones property but Alfred and his team Gary and Dan made sure everything went smoothly and kept me informed of their progress throughout. Alfred considers everything that times like these may cause families to miss or overlook. Their care and attention to what was important to our family is what makes them special. They work to schedule and do not miss any opportunity to help in any way they can to make the process as painless as possible. I highly recommend them for the caring and professional way they dealt with clearing my mother's home and for reducing the strain on us in what was a difficult time and seemingly facing an impossible task.

There's a certain emotional attachment when it comes to clearing a loved one's house, and it was no different with my grandmother's house. It's a delicate process, filled with nostalgia and memories, a task I feared would be overwhelming. Then, I found House Clearance Scotland Ltd.
From the very beginning, Alfred's professionalism was exemplary. The team took time to understand our family's needs, respect our sentiments, and organize the process in a manner that felt comfortable to us. They managed to turn a daunting task into a streamlined, stress-free experience.

Their attention to detail was extraordinary. They made sure to separate items that held sentimental value, helping us to preserve our cherished memories. And they did all of this with an unparalleled level of empathy and understanding.
It wasn't just about clearing the house; it was about providing a service filled with compassion and respect. House Clearance Scotland Ltd. not only demonstrated a high level of professionalism, but they also showed genuine care and kindness, which meant a lot to us during such a challenging time.
Their service was not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. I was impressed with their commitment to recycling and donating items where possible. It was comforting to know that my grandmother's belongings were being put to good use and not just being discarded.
The level of communication from the team was outstanding. They kept us informed throughout the entire process, making sure we were comfortable with every decision being made. The entire experience felt very personal, which I appreciated.
Clearing a loved one's house is never an easy task, but House Clearance Scotland Ltd. made it as painless as possible. Their service exceeded my expectations in every way.

Alfred and team did a fantastic job of clearing my parents’ home of 45 years. Not only were the house and garage completely emptied but the house was left spick and span. They found a few items of sentimental value such as old photographs and left them out for me. I would recommend this company to anyone who has the difficult job of emptying a loved ones home.

I needed to have my Dads flat cleared when he was admitted to a full time nursing home. It was a daunting task with a lifetime of possessions. I met Alfred after a recommendation. I was so impressed with his work with charities and people in need. His team cleared the flat and left it clean and immaculate. The team even found my Dads watch which he had hidden due to his disease along with various legal papers which I had overlooked. I cannot recommend Alfred and his company highly enough. They are highly professional, considerate and kind. Thank you for making a very difficult task much easier.

Very impressed. I was dreading having to get my father's house cleared, Alfred made the whole thing a pleasant experience. The service was prompt, efficient & very thorough. There were no quibbles about the unexpected, everything was handled professionally. I was kept fully informed throughout. Alfred himself was extremely helpful, going well beyond the essential. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

Alfred and his colleagues spent 2 days clearing my mum's flat. He kept me updated throughout with photos and short films on Whatsapp as to progress.
Mum would have been pleased that some of her things were going to help people not so fortunate. Highly Recommended!

Alfred and his team previously had completed a house clearance for me a few years ago in a very upsetting time for me (parental bereavement) they completed the job with the utmost professional and empathetic attitude. I also contacted them recently for a small matter and was blown away by the humanity and kindness shown by Alfred.

Alfred was understanding and empathetic from the start when I initially enquired about a bereavement clearance. Alfred arranged an appointment to come and see the flat, turned up on time and gave us a fair quote. Clearance was done promptly and professionally. Can’t thank him and his boys enough. Made a difficult situation more bearable, thank you

Great crew. Alfred came round to quote the day I called, then scheduling was quick and easy. On the day the team were courteous and friendly, and powered through the clearance in very good time. Particularly like their dedication to zero waste, charitable donations and recycling.
