We take them off your shoulders. ### The emotional weight of it Sorting through a loved one's belongings after a bereavement is one of the hardest jobs a family can face. ### The physical toll Heavy furniture, awkward lofts, three floors of belongings, that's back-breaking labour you shouldn't have to do alone. ### Landfill costs and eco-guilt Waste transfer fees are rising, and it feels wrong to throw away things that could still be used or sold. ### The clock is ticking Probate deadlines, house sales, or a new tenant moving in, you rarely have the luxury of taking your time. What we do ## House Clearance Services in Cheltenham and the Cotswolds Full house clearances, probate work, offices, lofts, gardens, and the awkward one-off items in between. All under one Licensed Waste Carrier. ![Coln Clearances team beginning a probate clearance in a Cheltenham family home](/images/misc/a-cheltenham-family-home-at-the-start-of-a-probate.webp) ### Probate & Deceased Estate Clearance Discreet, compassionate clearance of a deceased loved one's home, working sensitively with families, executors and solicitors.

The communication from Ian was great. On the day of the clearance he arrived promptly with his colleague and they did a great job of clearing the property. Thank you very much!!" ★★★★★ > "A most excellent, professional, supportive and considerate service from Ian at Coln Clearances. Just the kind of service and support we needed when clearing my Father's house for the landlord following his death. Living almost 250 miles away this was the kind of supportive service we needed. I cannot recommend this company highly enough." ★★★★★ > "This company is amazing, Ian is extremely professional he came and viewed the property gave me a very reasonable quote considering the property had 3 floors to clear. He and his colleague arrived on time as promised and they never stopped all day. By the time they left, the house and basement cellar were completely clear."

We use years of auction experience to identify items in your clearance with genuine resale value, then subtract that value directly from your quote. In some cases the offset covers the entire cost, making the clearance free. How much does a house clearance cost? Every clearance is a fixed, per-job price based on an individual assessment, either a free on-site visit or photos you send us. The final quote can be reduced by the resale value of items and by our curbside discount. There are no hidden fees. How quickly can you clear a property? Clearances can often be booked and completed within 24 to 48 hours, and we can respond at short notice for urgent probate, sale or rental deadlines. We serve Cheltenham and the wider Cotswolds, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm. Are you licensed and insured? Yes. Coln Clearances is a Licensed Waste Carrier with full public liability insurance and WEEE certification, and we comply with Health and Safety at Work regulations. Everything we remove is disposed of responsibly. What happens to the items you remove? We recycle a guaranteed 90% of everything we clear, divert 100% of mattress components from landfill to specialist recyclers, and donate usable goods to local charities on request. Very little ends up as landfill waste. ![](/images/hero/sunlit-cotswold-cottage-kitchen-with-wooden-beams-.webp) Booking within 24-48 hours ## Ready for a clear, cared-for home?
