House Clearance Canterbury

House Clearance in Canterbury and East Kent Villages

Canterbury’s homes range from medieval and Georgian houses near the Cathedral to Victorian terraces in Wincheap and St Dunstan’s, post-war semis in Hales Place and Thanington, and cottages in villages like Bridge, Chartham and Littlebourne. EM Waste Clearance carries out house clearances across all of them, whether you need a full property cleared after a bereavement or just a few rooms emptied before a move.

Probate clearances with care

Executors often find that clearing the house is one of the hardest parts of dealing with an estate. We aim to make it easier. Our team sets aside personal papers, photographs, letters and keepsakes as we work, so the family has a chance to go through them before anything leaves the house. If you have asked us to look out for particular items, we will.

If you live away from Canterbury, we can collect keys from you, a neighbour or the solicitor, carry out the clearance and send you photos when it is complete. We are happy to liaise directly with solicitors, executors and estate agents.

Landlords, student lets and downsizing

With two universities in the city, Canterbury has many rental properties that change hands every summer. We help landlords and agents clear houses when tenants leave furniture and belongings behind, and we can often arrange a quick turnaround to fit between tenancies. We also clear homes for people downsizing or moving into care, removing what is left once the family has taken what they want.

What you can expect

• A fixed price, agreed before we start, based on volume and access
• A uniformed team of two or three who do all the lifting
• Furniture dismantled where needed to protect old staircases and doorways
• Good-quality items donated to charity where possible
• Up to 90% of contents recycled or reused
• Every room swept before we leave, and a waste transfer note for your records

Older properties near the city centre can have narrow staircases and limited parking outside. We plan around this, and include it in the price from the start so nothing changes on the day.
