Bereavement Clearance Rialto
A careful, discreet clearance of a loved one's home in Rialto, handled by a permitted, insured waste carrier.
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 Rialto takes that work off the family while leaving the decisions with you.
Rialto is in the Dublin City area, about 3 km south-west 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.
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 Rialto 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 Rialto
In Rialto 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 Rialto 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 Rialto, 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.
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.
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.
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 Rialto 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.
