House clearance · Northumberland
Alnwick House Clearance provides careful, fixed-price house clearances in Cornhill-on-Tweed, 26 miles north-west of our base in Alnwick. We clear whole houses, single rooms, lofts, garages and gardens, and we reuse and recycle as much as we possibly can.
We know Cornhill-on-Tweed well – the border village on the Tweed, just across the bridge from Coldstream. That local knowledge helps us plan the right size team, the right vehicle and the best place to load before clearance day.
Stone cottages are lovely but rarely easy to clear: narrow staircases, low doorways and tight turns mean furniture often has to be dismantled. Our team does this carefully, without damaging walls or banisters.
Village properties often come with extras – a garage, an outbuilding, a large garden or a loft that has not been touched in decades. We include these in the same visit, so the whole property is cleared in one go.
A clearance with us is straightforward. You tell us what stays and what goes – a list, stickers or a walk round together – and we do the rest: lifting, dismantling, loading and sweeping through when the property is empty.
Reuse and recycling come first. We donate what we can, recycle metal, wood, card, textiles and electricals, and make sure sofas and armchairs that need special handling go to the right facility.
Our customers in and around Cornhill-on-Tweed include families clearing a parent's home, executors handling an estate, landlords between tenancies and homeowners getting ready to move.
Yes. Garages, sheds, stores and gardens can all be included in the same visit, so the whole property is done at once.
Yes. We clear single rooms, lofts, garages, sheds and gardens as well as whole houses. Combining them in one visit usually works out cheaper.

We can usually visit or quote within a few days and often clear within a week. If there is a deadline – a tenancy ending or a completion date – tell us and we will do our best to work to it.

I had been running a small home office in Warkworth, but my wife wanted both rooms back for our grandchildren. The team cleared everything quickly, professionally, and without any hassle. Excellent service!
Our family bereavement process took ages, and it was an incredibly stressful and emotional time for us. However, the team stepped in and provided much-needed support, compassion, and professionalism. They were understanding, patient, and helpful throughout. We truly appreciate their kindness and dedication during this difficult time.
The team cleared my late mother's house with exceptional care, kindness and respect during a very emotional time.
