Bereavement Clearance Slieverue
We clear family homes in Slieverue after a death — carefully, discreetly, and only when the family is ready.
When someone dies, their home often has to be cleared before it can be valued, sold or handed back. We do that work in Slieverue quietly and without pressure, at whatever pace the family can manage — one visit or several, weeks apart if that is what it takes.
Slieverue is in County Kilkenny, 42 km from Kilkenny City. 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.
How we work in a family home
- Nothing is rushed. If the family needs another week, or wants to stop halfway through, that is fine.
- We look before we lift. Paperwork, photographs, jewellery, medals, letters and anything that looks personal is set aside rather than loaded.
- You decide what goes. Tell us what stays, what goes to family members and what goes to charity, and we work to that.
- Quietly. Unmarked bags where possible, no discussion of the job with neighbours, and no photographs of the property published anywhere.
- Reuse first. Furniture and household goods in good condition are set aside for reuse rather than disposal.
Homes we clear in Slieverue
Around Slieverue the properties are usually houses with sheds and outbuildings, sometimes down a lane. Tell us about the approach when you first get in touch so we bring the right vehicle.
Working with the estate
We can invoice the estate rather than an individual, provide our permit and insurance details for the file, and take instructions from the executor or the solicitor's office. If a valuation has to happen before anything moves, tell us and we will schedule after it.
When family members live at a distance, we keep one point of contact and send photographs at the end of each visit so everyone can see what was done.
Clothing, books and household goods
These are usually the largest volume in an older home and the most reusable. Clean clothing, books, bedding and kitchenware in good order are separated for reuse where we can, and the family can direct anything specific to a charity of their choosing.
If the house is being sold
Estate agents normally want the property empty before photographs, and buyers' surveys are easier in a clear house. Tell us the agent's date and we will work back from it. If the sale falls through and the date moves, there is no charge for rescheduling.
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
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Krystal Klean Express Limited holds Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01 issued by the NWCPO and carries full insurance, including public liability.
What if we find something after the clearance?
Tell us as soon as you can. Loads are sorted rather than tipped straight away, so there is often a window in which something can still be recovered.
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.
