Bereavement Clearance Glenealy
Probate and estate clearances in Glenealy — we work with families, executors and solicitors, and set aside anything personal we find.
A bereavement clearance in Glenealy 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.
Glenealy is in County Wicklow, 7 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.
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 Glenealy 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 Glenealy
A rural home near Glenealy 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.
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.
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 Glenealy, 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.
No pressure, no timetable
Some families in Glenealy want the house cleared within a fortnight; others need months. Neither is wrong and neither costs more. We work to your date, and we can stop mid-job if it becomes too much for a day.
Cost and first steps
The price depends on how much is in the house, how easy it is to get out, and whether there is a date to work to. Working room by room across several visits costs no more than doing it in one day. Send photographs when you are ready, or ask us to call out and look — either way the quote is free and carries no obligation.
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
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 Glenealy 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.
