Bereavement Clearance Borris
We clear family homes in Borris after a death — carefully, discreetly, and only when the family is ready.
A bereavement clearance in Borris is not a normal house clearance. Boxes get opened rather than binned, paperwork and photographs are set aside, and nothing personal goes on the truck until someone in the family has seen it.
Borris is in County Carlow, 27 km from Carlow Town. 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.
How we work in a family home
- Nothing is rushed. If the family needs another week, or wants to stop halfway through, that is fine.
- We look before we lift. Paperwork, photographs, jewellery, medals, letters and anything that looks personal is set aside rather than loaded.
- You decide what goes. Tell us what stays, what goes to family members and what goes to charity, and we work to that.
- Quietly. Unmarked bags where possible, no discussion of the job with neighbours, and no photographs of the property published anywhere.
- Reuse first. Furniture and household goods in good condition are set aside for reuse rather than disposal.
Homes we clear in Borris
A rural home near Borris often holds generations of belongings across the house, the sheds and the yard. We plan these as a single visit with enough crew to finish, rather than several short trips.
Things we always set aside
Documents and paperwork of any kind, photographs and albums, letters and cards, jewellery, watches, coins and medals, religious items, handbags and wallets, keys, small electronics that may hold photographs, and anything that looks handmade or personal. If you want, we will box them by room so it is clear where each item came from.
Paperwork we can provide
Executors sometimes need our waste collection permit number, insurance details or a written quote for the estate file before anything is agreed. Ask and we will send them. We can also invoice the estate directly rather than an individual family member.
What this service is
A full or partial clearance of a home after a death, carried out carefully: personal items set aside, usable furniture kept for reuse, and the property left ready for valuation, sale or handback.
Starting the conversation
Most families begin with a phone call rather than a form, and that is fine. We will ask what kind of property it is, roughly what is in it, whether anyone needs to go through it first, and whether there is a deadline from a solicitor or an estate agent. From that we can usually give a price range straight away, and a firm quote once we see photographs.
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.
If the house is being sold
Estate agents normally want the property empty before photographs, and buyers' surveys are easier in a clear house. Tell us the agent's date and we will work back from it. If the sale falls through and the date moves, there is no charge for rescheduling.

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.
