A Background in Care and Compassion
Before running Cheadle House Clearances, I worked in nursing and palliative care, supporting people and families during some of life’s most difficult moments. That experience shapes the way we approach bereavement house clearances today.
We understand that clearing a home after a loss is not just a practical task — it can be emotional and overwhelming. Our team works calmly, respectfully and without judgement, giving families the time and reassurance they need throughout the process.
This background in care means we are used to sensitive situations, and we aim to provide not just a service, but genuine support when it’s needed most.

Should valuables be removed before clearance?
Yes. Executors should identify items of value or sentiment first. We always work carefully and set items aside if requested.
Can you work with solicitors or estate agents?
