Bereavement Clearance Leopardstown
Probate and estate clearances in Leopardstown — we work with families, executors and solicitors, and set aside anything personal we find.
We clear homes in Leopardstown 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.
Leopardstown is in the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown area, about 9 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 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.
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 Leopardstown
A family home in Leopardstown usually means a full property: the house, the attic where nothing has been touched in years, the garage, and often a shed. We plan the whole property as one job so the family is not left with the awkward parts.
Timing around probate
There is rarely a rush from our side. If the house in Leopardstown 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.
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 Leopardstown, 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.
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.
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.

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 Leopardstown 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.
