House clearance · Northumberland
Alnwick House Clearance provides careful, fixed-price house clearances in Craster, 6 miles north-east 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.
Every town has its own quirks. In Craster – the harbour village famous for its kippers, where narrow lanes and limited parking mean we plan access carefully – we plan access, parking and timing in advance so the clearance runs smoothly and neighbours are not disturbed.
Seaside streets are often narrow and busy in summer, so we time clearances to avoid peak traffic where we can, and agree loading spots in advance. Salt air takes its toll on outbuildings too – sheds and garages here often need clearing as well.
Coastal properties bring their own challenges. Holiday cottages and second homes often need clearing between lets or before a sale, owners may live hundreds of miles away, and summer parking can be tight. We can collect keys, work around bookings and send photos when the job is done.
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.
Whether you are an executor living away, a landlord with a tenant who has moved out, or a family helping a parent downsize, we can clear the property in Craster without you needing to be there.
Yes. We can clear between bookings or at the end of the season, deal with owners or agents directly, and send photos when the job is done.
Just tell us before the day – or on the day itself. Anything you want to keep stays in the property or is set aside for you.
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.
No. Many of our customers live outside Northumberland. We can collect keys from you, a neighbour, a solicitor or an estate agent, and send photos once the property is empty.
Yes. We clear single rooms, lofts, garages, sheds and gardens as well as whole houses. Combining them in one visit usually works out cheaper.

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. They thoughtfully set aside precious photographs we never knew she had kept, which meant so much to our family. The house was left absolutely spotless. I cannot recommend their compassionate, professional service highly enough.
