Our Services


Comprehensive, Efficient, and Professional House Clearances

At Gilmore’s, we offer full house clearance services that are efficient, thorough, and reliable. Whether you’re clearing out a property for sale, dealing with excess belongings, or simply decluttering, our team is equipped to handle everything from furniture removal to sorting personal belongings. We work quickly while maintaining a professional and respectful approach. Our services cover houses, flats, bungalows, garages, sheds, and other spaces. We manage every step of the process, from assessing the property and providing a free, no-obligation quote to clearing the space and responsibly disposing of all items. Wherever possible, reusable items are donated to local charities, and everything else is disposed of at licensed recycling centres.


Sensitive and Supportive Downsizing Services

Downsizing can be a challenging process, but Gilmore’s is here to make it easier. We specialize in helping individuals and families move from larger homes into more manageable spaces, whether it’s transitioning to a smaller property or moving into a retirement home. Our approach is patient and supportive, ensuring that the process is as stress-free as possible. We assist in sorting through items, carefully identifying sentimental belongings you wish to keep while responsibly clearing the rest. For items no longer needed, we aim to donate them to local charities, providing value to the community while easing the downsizing process. Our team handles everything, including packing, clearing, and disposing of larger items.


Compassionate and Discreet Bereavement Clearance

We understand that clearing a home after a bereavement is an emotionally difficult task. Our bereavement house clearance services are designed to be both compassionate and discreet. We work closely with family members or executors to ensure that the process is handled with care, and we respect the sentimental value of items left behind. Our team carefully sorts through belongings, setting aside keepsakes and important documents as needed. We take pride in ensuring the home is cleared respectfully and efficiently, helping to relieve stress during a challenging time. Reusable items are donated to local charities like St Giles Hospice and Oxfam, while other items are disposed of responsibly through certified recycling centres.


Tidying & Cleaning to Leave Your Property Looking Its Best

After a house clearance, we offer post-clearance cleaning services to leave the property in top condition, whether for sale, rental, or new occupants. Our services include steam cleaning carpets, jet washing outdoor areas, and basic garden maintenance to ensure the property is spotless and ready for its next purpose. We tailor our cleaning services to meet your specific needs, ensuring that every corner of the property is left clean and tidy. Whether you need a deep clean after a full house clearance or just some light maintenance work, we’re equipped to handle the job. We use environmentally friendly products where possible and aim to complete all work efficiently and to a high standard.

Experienced Valuation Services for Your Items

We understand that some items hold both sentimental and financial value. With years of experience in valuing a wide range of items—from antiques and collectibles to vintage furniture and jewellery—we’re able to offer fair assessments directly to our clients. By working with us, you can avoid the often high fees associated with specialist dealers. Our team is knowledgeable in identifying valuable items, and we provide transparent, no-obligation valuations. Whether you’re looking to sell, keep, or donate, we’re here to help guide you through the process. If you choose to sell, we can make a competitive offer or connect you with trusted buyers to ensure a smooth sale process.
