House Clearance Service
At St. Joseph’s Hospice, we provide a professional house clearance service for our community.
If you need help with the very personal and emotional task of clearing a house, which is full of memories, we can help.
This service is carried out by our retail team, and their volunteers, who also manage our charity shops across Liverpool and Merseyside.
Our professional house clearance service is a fantastic way to support the hospice.
This service is often used by recently bereaved families who are preparing a house for sale.
How does it work?
Once the family has removed any items they wish to keep, our compassionate team will empty every single room in the property and take it all away, leaving the house empty and clear, so that it is ready to be sold.
Where are the items taken?
Any furniture or items that can be sold though our charity shops, will be kept to raise much-need income for our hospice in Thornton. This means that these items will go directly towards supporting and caring for members of our local community who are in need of end of life care at the hospice. Any goods that cannot be sold or given a new home will, where possible, be recycled.
How long will it take?
House clearances usually take place within one pre-arranged day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover a large geographical area across Sefton, and throughout the city of Liverpool.
How much does it cost?
Our Shop Co-ordinator will discuss the job with you and will visit the property to determine the amount of time and resource that will be required to clear the property.
Three levels of service are available:
- Our team will enter the property and remove anything we can sell in our charity shops, and will leave you to clear the rest. This is a FREE service.
- Our team will remove everything we can sell in our charity shops, and we will provide a quote to remove any items of furniture that are unsellable. We will leave you to clear the rest of the property.
- This third level of service is often used by families wanting to prepare a property for sale. For this service, our team will go into the property and clear absolutely everything. This includes emptying all cupboards, and bagging up clothes. This is a bespoke service and will be priced based on how many vans and people will be required to complete the clearance as quickly as possible. Please note, the clearance of lofts, sheds, garages, and the removal of carpets, are charged as extra.
Please remember, we are a small local charity providing end of life care to our community, and support for their families. Our team of volunteers give up their own time in order to support the hospice so that we can continue caring for local families.
