Sometimes it follows a move. Sometimes someone is downsizing. A property may need to be emptied before it is sold, renovated or handed back to an agent. And sometimes it is simply a family home that has built up years of belongings and needs a proper clear-out.
Whatever the reason, once you start opening cupboards, sheds and spare rooms, the amount of stuff can quickly become overwhelming.
At 1300 CLEAROUT, we help with full and partial house clearances across North Brisbane and Redcliffe, doing the lifting, loading and removal so you don’t have to tackle the whole job yourself.
What does a full house clearance involve?
Every property is different.
Some homes are mostly empty but still have a garage full of old furniture, tools and boxes. Others still contain beds, lounges, dining furniture, appliances, mattresses, outdoor furniture and years of general household belongings.
A house clearance can include:
- Furniture, beds and mattresses
- Fridges, washing machines and household appliances
- Boxes and general household rubbish
- Garage and shed contents
- Outdoor furniture and garden items
- Old televisions and electronics
- Unwanted household items
- Furniture and belongings left behind after a move
- Items from deceased estates or homes being prepared for sale
You don’t necessarily need to move everything outside first.
With our Full Service rubbish removal, our team can collect items from around the property and load them directly onto the truck.
That can make a big difference when you’re dealing with heavy furniture, stairs, awkward items or simply a lot of stuff.
House clearances across North Brisbane
We regularly work throughout North Brisbane, including areas such as Northgate, Nundah, Chermside, Aspley and surrounding suburbs.
One of the most common situations we see is a property that needs to be cleared before the next stage can happen.
The real estate agent may be waiting to arrange photos. Cleaners might need access. New owners may be taking possession. Or the family may simply want the job finished so they can stop spending every weekend sorting through the house.
Trying to clear a property yourself can easily turn into repeated trips to the tip, borrowing trailers, organising friends and working out how to move large furniture.
For bigger jobs, having a team arrive with a truck and start removing everything that has been marked to go can make the whole process much easier.
House clearances in Redcliffe
We also carry out house clearances throughout Redcliffe and the surrounding peninsula, including Scarborough, Margate, Kippa-Ring, Clontarf and nearby areas.
These jobs can range from a straightforward moving-house clear-out through to an entire property containing furniture, garage contents and outdoor items.
You don’t need to know exactly how many cubic metres you have before contacting us.
One of the easiest ways to start is simply to take a few wide photos of the items that need to go and send them to us along with the suburb and a few details about access.
If there are stairs, narrow driveways or items in a backyard or shed, let us know. It gives us a much better idea of what will be involved before the job starts.
You don’t have to throw everything away
A house clearance doesn’t necessarily mean everything goes straight to landfill.
There may be furniture or household items that can still be reused, donated or recycled. Where practical, we try to separate suitable items rather than treating everything as general rubbish.
If there are particular items you think could be donated or recycled, mention them when you contact us so we can plan for them.
Before we arrive, it is also worth doing one final walk through the property and putting aside anything you definitely want to keep.
Important paperwork, family photos, jewellery, keys and sentimental belongings have an amazing habit of turning up in the strangest places.
What if I can’t be at the property?
This comes up quite often, particularly with investment properties, deceased estates and family members who live interstate.
You don’t necessarily need to be at the property for the entire clearance.
If access can be arranged and we have clear instructions about what is staying and what is going, we can discuss how the job can be handled.
For larger clear-outs, sending photos beforehand is particularly useful. It allows us to understand the size of the job and any access issues before the team arrives.
Clearing a house before selling?
If you’re getting a property ready to sell, it is often worth doing the clearance before organising the final clean and property photography.
Once unwanted furniture and clutter have been removed, cleaners and tradespeople have much better access to the property.
You can also finally see what you’re working with.
That forgotten corner of the garage, the old shelving in the shed and the spare room that has been storing boxes for years suddenly become much easier to deal with once the unwanted contents are gone.
If you’re working towards a photography, auction or settlement date, let us know. Knowing your timeframe helps us understand what you need.
