Bereavement Clearance Irishtown
Probate and estate clearances in Irishtown — 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 Irishtown takes that work off the family while leaving the decisions with you.
Irishtown is in the Dublin City area, about 2.5 km south-east of the city centre. 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.
What the day looks like
We start with a walk-through: you point out what stays, what the family is taking, and anything you want us to watch for. Then we work room by room. Anything that looks personal — documents, photographs, small valuables — comes to you rather than the truck, and if we are unsure about something we ask rather than decide. When a room is done you can look through it before we move on.
If the family would rather not be there at all, that is common too. We work from a key or a key safe and send photographs of each room as it is finished.
Homes we clear in Irishtown
In Irishtown we are usually clearing an apartment or a smaller period home. Where the property is a flat, the building may need the lift booked; we can sort that with the management company if you give us their details.
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 Irishtown 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.
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 Irishtown, 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.
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.
If it was a rented home
Where the property was rented — privately or from the local authority — there is usually a handback date and an inspection. We clear the house to that date and can send photographs of each room afterwards for the file.

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 Irishtown 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.
