Bereavement Clearance Enniskerry
A careful, discreet clearance of a loved one's home in Enniskerry, handled by a permitted, insured waste carrier.
We clear homes in Enniskerry after a bereavement for families who live locally and for those who live abroad and cannot easily get back. Photographs, documents and anything that looks like it mattered are put aside for you either way.
Enniskerry is in County Wicklow, 25 km from Wicklow 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.
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 Enniskerry 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 Enniskerry
In a village like Enniskerry, 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.
What we watch for
Money and documents turn up in odd places in older homes: taped inside presses, in book pages, in coat pockets, under drawer liners. We check as we go and anything we find comes straight to the family. Tell us in advance if something specific is missing — a ring, a policy document, a set of deeds — and we will keep an eye out for it.
Timing around probate
There is rarely a rush from our side. If the house in Enniskerry is being sold, the estate agent usually wants it empty before photographs; if it is a rented property, the landlord or the local authority will set the handback date. Give us whichever deadline applies and we will work back from it.
Reuse rather than landfill
Furniture in good order, working appliances, unopened household goods and clean clothing are separated first. What cannot be reused is sorted for recycling — metals, timber, cardboard, appliances — and only the remainder goes to authorised waste facilities under our permit.
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
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.
How much does a bereavement clearance in Enniskerry cost?
It is priced like any clearance: volume, access, the type of items and your timeline. Photographs of each room give us enough to quote. There is no extra charge for working at a slower pace or over more than one visit.
Do you clear the attic, garage and shed as well?
Yes, and it is usually best done at the same time as the house — these are the parts families find hardest to face, and doing them separately costs more.
