About this service

A cleanout often comes at a significant moment: settling an estate, selling a family cottage, or simply facing years of accumulation. This service is about clearing space carefully and respectfully, at a pace that works for you and with your wishes about what is kept, donated or removed.

What it involves

  • Walking through the space to understand what is involved and what matters to you
  • Sorting items according to your instructions for keeping, donating or disposing
  • Carrying and loading items out of rooms, basements, sheds and outbuildings
  • Leaving the space broom-clean and ready for its next chapter

Example scope

  • Full house or cottage cleanouts
  • Single rooms, basements, attics or garages
  • Sheds, boathouses and outbuildings
  • Clearing before a sale, rental or renovation

Suited to

  • Families settling an estate
  • Owners selling or downsizing
  • Anyone who needs a fresh start for a space

Season & site notes

  • Cottage cleanouts are often easiest when roads are clear and access is simple.
  • Large cleanouts may be planned over more than one visit.
  • Some items need special handling or disposal routes, so mention anything unusual.

How it works

  1. Email the details: a few lines about the property, the work and your timing. Photos help.
  2. Talk it through: we follow up to ask questions and understand what you need.
  3. See the site where useful, then agree the scope and timing before work begins.
