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A lot of the items are of good quality but would probably suit the taste of mature buyers / considered outdated by modern families, although I expect they have some value.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

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
