Bereavement Clearance Allen
We clear family homes in Allen after a death — carefully, discreetly, and only when the family is ready.
When someone dies, their home often has to be cleared before it can be valued, sold or handed back. We do that work in Allen quietly and without pressure, at whatever pace the family can manage — one visit or several, weeks apart if that is what it takes.
Allen is in County Kildare, 13 km from Naas. Krystal Klean Express Limited holds Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01 issued by the NWCPO and is fully insured, including public liability — details we are happy to send to a solicitor for the estate file.

Taking one job off the family
After a death there is a long list: the funeral, the paperwork, the bank, the solicitor. Clearing the house sits at the end of it and rarely gets easier with waiting. When you are ready, we handle that part.
Our approach
Two things matter most in this work: care and pace. Care means opening boxes instead of assuming, and setting aside anything personal for the family. Pace means the job happens when you are ready — some families in Allen want it done in a single day, others want the house cleared a room at a time over a few weeks. Both are fine, and neither costs more per hour than the other.
Homes we clear in Allen
In a village like Allen, these are usually long-held family homes with a lifetime of belongings, an attic, a shed and a garage. Expect more volume than the room count suggests.
Working with the estate
We can invoice the estate rather than an individual, provide our permit and insurance details for the file, and take instructions from the executor or the solicitor's office. If a valuation has to happen before anything moves, tell us and we will schedule after it.
When family members live at a distance, we keep one point of contact and send photographs at the end of each visit so everyone can see what was done.
Donations and reuse
Many families would rather see usable furniture, clothes and household goods go to someone who needs them. Where items are in good condition we set them aside for reuse. If you have a particular charity shop or organisation in mind near Allen, tell us and we will keep suitable items separate for you to arrange — we do not make donations in the family's name or claim to be affiliated with any charity.
Clearing in stages
Some families take the personal rooms themselves and ask us to do the rest; others want everything done in one visit. We can also do a first pass — furniture and bulk out, personal items left boxed — so the family can go through things in their own time before we come back.
What it costs, and how to start
Clearances are priced on volume, access, item types and timing — the same as any other job, with no premium for the care involved. Photographs of each room are enough for a quote; if the family would rather we came and looked first, we can do that instead. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation afterwards.
When you are ready, use the form on this page, call 083 090 4545 or 059 865 2981, or send photographs on WhatsApp. We are here Mon–Sat 7am–8pm.

Questions families ask
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Krystal Klean Express Limited holds Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01 issued by the NWCPO and carries full insurance, including public liability.
What if we find something after the clearance?
Tell us as soon as you can. Loads are sorted rather than tipped straight away, so there is often a window in which something can still be recovered.
How soon after a death can the house be cleared?
There is no fixed rule, and there is no hurry from our side. Many families wait until probate has been granted, or at least until the executor and family have agreed. Your solicitor will advise on the estate side; whenever you are ready, we can work to your date.
Can you deal with the solicitor or executor instead of me?
Yes. We can agree access, dates and invoicing directly with the executor or the solicitor's office, and supply our waste permit and insurance details for the file.
What happens to photographs and documents?
They are set aside for the family rather than loaded. Paperwork, photographs, letters, jewellery, medals and anything that looks personal is put to one side as we go, boxed by room if that helps.
I live abroad — can the clearance still go ahead?
Yes, and it is common. We work from a key, a key safe or an agent, keep one point of contact, and send photographs of each room as it is finished.
Can family members take items first?
Of course. Most families go through the house first and mark what is being kept. If that is not possible, tell us what to look for and we will set it aside rather than load it.
