Bereavement Clearance Clonmore
Probate and estate clearances in Clonmore — we work with families, executors and solicitors, and set aside anything personal we find.
Clearing a parent's or relative's home is one of the harder jobs that follows a death, and it usually arrives with practical deadlines attached — a sale, a rented property to hand back, or a solicitor waiting on the house. A bereavement clearance in Clonmore takes that work off the family while leaving the decisions with you.
Clonmore is in County Carlow, 24 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.
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 Clonmore 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 Clonmore
A rural home near Clonmore 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.
Executors, solicitors and probate
Where a solicitor is handling the estate, we are happy to deal with them directly on access, dates and invoicing — plenty of executors in Clonmore would rather not be the go-between. Many families wait for the grant of probate before clearing a house; some clear earlier with the agreement of everyone involved. That is a decision for the executor and their solicitor, not for us, but we can work to whichever timeline you are given.
Clothing, books and household goods
These are usually the largest volume in an older home and the most reusable. Clean clothing, books, bedding and kitchenware in good order are separated for reuse where we can, and the family can direct anything specific to a charity of their choosing.
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.
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.
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.

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.
