House clearance in Kennington & Oval.

Old houses, cleared with patience.

Many Kennington homes have been in the same hands for a long time. A Georgian house near Cleaver Square or Kennington Park can hold decades of furniture, books and belongings, spread over four floors from the basement kitchen to the attic. Clearing it is a big job, and often a sad one.

We start by agreeing what stays: pieces going to family, things for auction or sale, anything you want to sort through later. Then we work room by room. Letters, photographs and documents that turn up are set aside for you.

Period interiors need care. Original banisters, stone stairs, narrow halls and listed details are common, so we take things out slowly and protect what we can. Larger houses may take two days or two vans, so nothing is rushed.

Usable furniture is passed on for reuse, and wood, metal and cardboard are separated for recycling. What’s left goes to licensed facilities under waste carrier number CBDU425022.

Kennington house clearances are often slow, careful jobs. Older owners have lived in the same Georgian house for decades, and the family wants to go through things before they go. We can work floor by floor over a few visits so there’s time to decide.
