Bathroom Before

Bathroom After

When there’s nowhere clean to prepare a meal, the kitchen has stopped being a kitchen.

When you need backup

These sink taps show the results of our specialist cleaning process, using special equipment and state-of-the-art cleaning chemicals to tackle stubborn dirt and build-up. This is what we do — putting in the work and attention to detail to get results like these.

This takes more than a mop and bucket. Contamination can run deep into the flooring and the materials underneath. In circumstances like this, we’d remove the affected materials completely, then thoroughly clean and treat the area beneath.

Floor Removal

Floor replacement

The fly paper’s done its fair share. We’ll take it from here.

Blood Spill

A life lost to overdose. Someone’s loved one, someone deeply missed. We approach these clearances with quiet care, dignity and respect.

Death Clean

Clearing contaminated food cupboards and deep cleaning neglected kitchens.

Yard clearance and responsible removal of accumulated rubbish and unwanted furniture.

Specialist hoarding clearance, restoring access with care and respect.

Compassionate help when accumulated belongings overwhelm a home.

Heavily stained mattress requiring specialist removal and responsible disposal.

The hardest part of our job. Following an unattended death, we never lose sight of the person whose home this was, treating their belongings and those left behind with care and respect.

Loft cleaning is hard work. You’re working in a dark, confined, dusty space, often crouching under low beams with very little room to move. Getting everything down through a small loft hatch adds to the challenge. It’s physically demanding work that takes patience, care and a fair bit of graft.

“Solving your problems is my hobby. Restoring your peace of mind is my profession.”

There is nothing else left to shock us. We have literally seen it all. People ask, How do you do it? Well, it's called understanding, commitment, passion, sincerity, courage, and a Tyvek Suit

When the way out disappears, safety cannot wait. A blocked landing leaves little room to move. Restoring safe access is where we begin.

A fly strip can catch flies. It cannot put a home right. Visible insects are only part of the picture. The conditions behind them need attention too.

Washing should never mean climbing over rubbish. Clear access to a bathroom matters. Everyday dignity deserves space.

You can see the clutter. You cannot see the whole struggle. Mental health deserves compassion. A photograph cannot tell you what someone has been through.

Human Waste in the bath

Day in day out

After an unattended death, maggots.

After squatters leave a void property, discarded needles and other sharps can be hidden among rubbish. A specialist sharps sweep helps reduce the risk of injury before clearance begins.

We’d promised our customer we’d be there to clear the house that day. They’d made their plans around us turning up, and we knew they were counting on us. So with snow still on the ground, we got the van to the door and got on with the clearance.

Some things are too important to lose. During a recent house clearance, we found these First World War medals and handed them back to our client. A house can hold a lifetime of memories, and it isn’t always possible for a family to know everything that’s tucked away. That’s why, at Merseyside House Clearance, we take care to look for personal items and valuables as we work. Medals, photographs, documents and jewellery can mean far more than their monetary value. When we find something that may be important, we make sure the client knows. If you need help clearing a property, get in touch to arrange a survey.

“Where do you actually start?” It’s one of the questions we get most often when people see a photo like this. “From the beginning,” we tell them. It usually gets a laugh, but we mean it. We make a safe way into the room and work through it a bit at a time, taking care with people’s belongings as we go. We’ve spent over 15 years developing the way we do this, so it’s second nature to the team now. Some clearances take a full seven days, and the beginning is often the hardest part. But seeing a room go from barely accessible to somewhere the customer can use again is still one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
