Apartment Clearance Portobello
Flats and apartments cleared in Portobello — lifts, stairwells and parking planned before we arrive, and everything carried down for you.
An apartment clearance in Portobello is a different job from a house: everything has to come down a stairwell or through a lift, the loading spot is rarely outside the door, and the building often has rules about when work can happen. We plan around all of that before the van leaves the yard.
Portobello is in the Dublin City area, about 2 km south of the city centre, and we cover it as part of our regular run. Krystal Klean Express Limited holds Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01 (NWCPO) and is fully insured, including public liability.
Apartment clearance in Portobello
Most Portobello buildings restrict loading to certain hours or a specific bay, and several need the lift booked. Give us the management company's rules with your photos and we schedule the job to fit them rather than turning up and negotiating.
Before we arrive
If the building needs the lift booked, a fob for the service door or a permit for the van, that is worth sorting before the date. Where you cannot, give us the management company's details and we will ask ourselves.
Who we clear apartments for in Portobello
Landlords and letting agents
Between tenancies, when furniture, mattresses and bags are left behind and the unit has to be ready for viewings. We can work from a key or a fob and send photos when the flat is empty.
Tenants moving out
Getting the apartment back to the state the inventory expects, before the deposit inspection. We clear what will not fit in the car and leave nothing in the bin store.
Families and executors
Where an apartment in Portobello belonged to a relative, we work at the family's pace, set aside papers and keepsakes, and can deal with the solicitor on access.
Owners selling or moving
An empty apartment shows better and sells faster. We clear it ahead of photographs or the closing date.
What we clear from an apartment
- Sofas, beds and mattresses
- Wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers
- TVs and small electricals
- Bags, boxes and general household waste
- Storage-press and hot-press contents
- Balcony furniture and planters
- Carpets, rugs and curtains
Not on our permit: asbestos, paints and solvents, oils, fuel, gas cylinders and clinical waste.
Keeping the management company happy
Most complaints about clearances come from the same two things: items left in the bin store and a loading bay blocked longer than agreed. We take everything with us — nothing goes into the building's bins — and we keep the van in the agreed spot for the agreed window.

Apartment clearance Portobello: questions we get
How much does an apartment clearance in Portobello cost?
It depends on the volume, the floor, whether there is a lift and where we can park. A one-bed on the ground floor is a different job from a two-bed on the fourth with stairs only. Send photos and those details and we will quote before anything is booked.
Do you need the lift booked in advance?
If the building requires it, yes — please arrange it for the agreed time, or give us the management company's contact and we will help coordinate. Where there is no lift, we plan for the carry instead.
Can you clear the apartment before my deposit inspection?
Yes. Tell us the inspection date when you get in touch and we will schedule the clearance before it, so the flat is empty for the walk-through.
Will the common areas be protected?
Yes. Lifts, hallways and stairwells are covered where needed, and we clean up behind us. Nothing from the clearance is left in the bin store or the car park.
Do I need to be there?
Not necessarily. Many Portobello clearances are done with a key, a fob or an agent's access, with photos sent afterwards. We agree what stays and what goes in advance.
Do you take mattresses and white goods?
Yes — mattresses, beds, fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers all go in the same collection.
Are you insured to work in the building?
Yes. Krystal Klean Express Limited carries full insurance including public liability, and holds Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01 from the NWCPO. Management companies sometimes ask for those details — just tell us and we will supply them.
