Having lost 3 close relatives in recent years, I have been left with an array of antiquities, objects, paintings and "stuff". Having held on to a lot for sentimental value, I now need to cleanse and make some room to welcome a new human in to our family home.


A lot of the items are of good quality but would probably suit the taste of mature buyers / considered outdated by modern families, although I expect they have some value.


Has anyone had experience of a reliable, considerate, house clearance company?


Thanks in advance,

(Another) Louisa

To quote my house clearance guy- who is also an antiques dealer as he did the probate valuation.....'nothing of commercial value'...but he said there was some stuff worth selling on eBay...tea sets etc, other bric a brac. I am a person of mature years but I hate dust-gathering items so got rid forthwith. What did not sell on eBay went to the charity shop.....

Any useful furniture you could try your luck on the East Dulwich Forum.....

(btw...I knew several house clearance geezers in the East End back in the day and they were very shady indeed!)

there's a fab place near Herne Hill on Dulwich Road, which might be interested? although they may only pick selected items they could sell on.



British Heart Foundation - or Oxfam will collect furniture but you wouldn't get anything for it as they would take it as a donation.

Thank you for all your responses.


I have already been in touch with the place in Herne Hill and they've taken what they want. I will pop in to Windsor Antiques and see if they would like to do the same. Hopefully I can whittle it down!


I was hoping to find a clearance company who pays to take everything, in the hope they find something of interest / value but perhaps that is wishful thinking on my part!


Have a good day all.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
