House Clearance Ayr South Ayrshire

House Clearance Ayr Overview

In our line of work, House Clearance Ayr sometimes come across tragic human
stories. For example, a woman called us one day in quite an emotional state,
as her mother had just passed away. Obviously, her grief was one factor in
her being upset, but another was that her father had rather gone off the
rails after her mother had died some years earlier. He had actually broken
links with his family in Ayr, while he continued to live alone in the family
house, a three-bedroomed suburban semi-detached property with a garden in
Ayr. Over the years, he had become a hoarder and now the woman and her
brother urgently needed our house clearance Ayr team to
clear the full house. It was stuffed with rubbish, junk and old furniture,
with some rooms so full they could hardly be entered. The garden was like a
jungle. When we went to inspect the house clearance, it was one of the worst
examples of hoarding we had come across, and we’ve seen quite a lot.

House Clearance Overview

The client wanted the house, and the garage, cleared and cleaned. Our staff
quite often have to deal with people who are distressed and we were able to
reassure her that this house clearance was nothing out of the ordinary for
us. We explained that we would do the job as quickly and discreetly as
possible. The client also asked us to look out for personal papers and
photographs. She also said that her mother had had a small collection of
jewellery that had not been seen since her death.

Disposal of Contents

We started the house clearance with five of our staff. Clearing out the
accumulated debris and old furnishings in the house and garage took us three
days. The next stage was a deep clean of the house which took a further two
days. Unfortunately, there was very little in the house that could be
salvaged, although we were able to take quite a large amount of paper to the
local recycling centre in Ayr. At the same time as we cleared the house,
two gardeners worked to cut back the garden, restoring it to a state of
order.

Client Comments

The client was extremely grateful to us for the sensitivity we’d shown in
completing this difficult house clearance at a time that was quite
traumatic for her. When we handed over a small box containing three gold
rings, two sets of diamond earrings and some other pieces of jewellery, she
broke down into tears. Subsequently she emailed us and said, “I cannot tell
you how much it means to us to have my mother’s jewellery back. The pieces
are some of the few things that we have to remember her by.”
