House clearance · Northumberland
Alnwick House Clearance provides careful, fixed-price house clearances in Powburn, 8 miles 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.
Our team regularly works in Powburn: the village on the A697 by the River Breamish, with cottages and farms nearby. Whatever the property, we treat it with respect, protect floors and doorways and leave it swept and tidy.
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.
In smaller villages, neighbours notice everything. We work quietly, park considerately and keep the outside of the property tidy throughout the clearance, especially after a bereavement.
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.
We sort every load. Usable furniture goes for reuse, recyclable materials are separated, fridges and electricals go through the proper routes, and only the remainder is disposed of – always at licensed sites.
Our customers in and around Powburn 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.
Reusable furniture and household goods are donated or passed on, materials are recycled, and only what is left goes to licensed waste sites.
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.

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.
