Whose house is it?
Every clearance starts with a different story. Find yours, and the quote starts from there.
After a bereavement
We work quietly and with respect, and anything personal or sentimental is kept safe for the family.
I'm the executor, or the solicitor
We can visit first, record what is there, and clear the house when the estate is ready.
How Probate Assist worksThe family lives away
You don't have to be there. The walk-through can be done by video or from written instructions.
Moving, downsizing or going into care
Tell us what is going with you. We clear what is left, and the useful things go to someone who needs them.
A very full home
Discreet help, and nobody judging. We sort as we go, room by room.
A landlord or agent with a property to hand back
Everything removed and the rooms left tidy and swept, ready to sell, let or renovate.
Nothing leaves until it has been sorted
Every home divides four ways. This is how we go through yours.

Prices
What a house clearance costs
Clearances start from £250. After that it depends on what is in the house rather than the size of it, so every job is quoted individually. Your price comes after a few photos or a short visit, and it is free to ask.
Clearances from
£250
Every job is individually quoted. The quote is free, with no obligation.
What your quote is based on
- The amount to clearWhat is in the house, not the size of it.
- AccessHow easy it is to get things out to the van.
- LabourThe time it takes, and how many of us it needs.
- DisposalWhat it costs to recycle or dispose of properly.
Sorting, reuse, recycling and disposal are included.
What costs a little extra
Fridges and freezers, TVs and monitors, mattresses, upholstered sofas and chairs, and paint, oil or chemicals. Each needs special disposal. I point them out before the job. No hidden fees.
What brings it down
Good things that can be used again. If the house has furniture or homeware we can pass on, I tell you and take it off the quote.

For executors, solicitors and families who live away
Can't be at the house? We go for you.
Probate Assist is a visit to the property on your behalf. We check it is secure, read the meters, photograph every room, and look for the documents, jewellery and sentimental things that should not be lost. You get a clear written report, and a quote for the clearance only when the estate is ready.

The good things get used again
Furniture, homeware and essentials that are clean, safe and in good condition are not treated as waste. We sort them out ourselves on every clearance and pass them on to be used again wherever we can, so as little as possible ends up in landfill.
It costs you nothing extra, and it is your choice. Say no, or tell us which things you would most like to see used again.
“I started Vernons because I wanted to offer something a bit different from the usual clearance service. A lot of the work I do is for people dealing with bereavement, downsizing, family homes or difficult circumstances. So I wanted it to feel approachable, respectful and personal, rather than just turning up, throwing everything in a van and treating it all as rubbish.”
Questions people ask first
Not here? Add it to your quote request.
Do I need to sort or pack anything before you come?
No. We sort everything in the house ourselves into four groups: to keep, to pass on, to recycle and to dispose of. You don't need to lift anything.
How soon can you start?
Usually within a few days of your quote, and sometimes sooner if we are already working in your area. We fit around the dates that suit you.
What happens to the things you take?
Useful things in good condition are passed on to be used again wherever we can, so they stay out of landfill. What can't be reused is recycled, and only what is left goes to a licensed waste site.
Will there be extra charges?
Only for a few items that need special disposal: fridges and freezers, TVs and monitors, mattresses, upholstered sofas and chairs, and paint, oil or chemicals. I point them out before the job, so there are no hidden fees.
How do you handle a clearance after a bereavement?
Quietly and with respect. Personal and sentimental things are kept safe for the family, and we can deal directly with the solicitor or estate agent if that is easier for you.
Tell me about the house, and I'll tell you what it will cost
