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A lot of the items are of good quality but would probably suit the taste of mature buyers / considered outdated by modern families, although I expect they have some value.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

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
