What our customers say
“I’ve recently used this service. Robert and his team cleared my late mum’s house in Dawlish. Very efficient, friendly and courteous and I would thoroughly recommend them. What’s more, I received a phone call the following day to inform me that they found an envelope containing cash in an item of furniture that my mum had ‘hidden’. Lovely to know that integrity and honesty are still alive and well! A totally brilliant and exemplary service.”
– Baz, Bovey Tracey

Why does Rowcroft need to charge for the house clearance service? +

Please note that other charities operating similar house clearance services also charge for their service, for the same reasons.
How much does the house clearance service cost? +

What does the basic, post-clearance clean include? +

Should I pack anything before the house clearance date? +
No, please do not pack anything (if you have not already done so) as we will need to separate and sort items for recycling and sale. We can pack everything ourselves including clothing, drawer contents, cupboards and even the food from the kitchen.
Do you guarantee to clear the whole property? +

Not necessarily – many customers choose to give us access in advance. As long as we can access the property safely and securely, you don’t need to be there on the day.
Is there anything I need to do before the clearance? +
Please ensure we have clear access to the property and that any necessary permissions (for flats, gated properties, etc.) are arranged in advance. Please also let us know about any mobility or safety issues at the property so we can plan accordingly.
