Clearing the home a parent lived in for years, perhaps arriving on foot off the catamaran or hovercraft. We price it first, keep back what matters to you, and send what's usable to the High Street charities.

Who books us in Ryde

Who books a Ryde clearance

Ryde is the Island's largest town, with 24,096 people at the 2021 census, and the council's health profile puts 23.4% of the Ryde area at 65 or over.

  • A parent's home

    No sorting needed first. Show us what's staying, and we clear the rest, keeping back letters, photographs and paperwork as we find them.

  • A flat in a converted house

    Mum's flat up a shared Regency staircase? We price the carry and keep the landing clear. Landlords between tenancies, too.

  • Arriving as a foot passenger

    Coming in on the catamaran from Portsmouth or the hovercraft from Southsea? We put what you're keeping in one room, to collect or send on later.

Flats on shared stairs

Converted houses, carried down with care

Much of central Ryde and the seafront is Regency and Victorian, and the town centre sits on a hill. In an upper-floor flat, the stairs set the pace.

  • Priced on the floor and the turns

    Tell us which floor and how tight the staircase is. The carry is in the price, not added on the day.

  • Landings kept passable

    Neighbours still need the stairs, so we carry in short runs and never stack things on a shared landing.

  • Agent or freeholder warned

    If neighbours, a managing agent or the freeholder should know we are coming, tell us who.

Reuse on the High Street

Six charity shops on one street

Usable things from a Ryde clearance rarely need to travel far. Sofas and armchairs still need their fire safety label to be resold.

  • Friends of the Animals, 181 High Street

    Takes small furniture in good condition, and asks anyone with a whole house to clear to ring 01983 522511.

  • Mountbatten, 188 High Street

    Its shops fund end-of-life and bereavement care for Islanders. Some families like a parent's things helping with that.

  • BHF, Red Cross, RSPCA and Age UK

    All on the same High Street, so clothes, books, pictures and kitchenware can find homes a few doors apart.

FAQ

Ryde clearance questions

Short answers. If yours is not here, call or send it with your quote.

Mum's flat is up two floors on a shared staircase. Is that a problem?

No, it just changes the plan. Tell us the floor, how tight the turns are and whether neighbours use the stairs, and we will price the carry and keep the hallway clear.

We live on the mainland. Can the flat be cleared without us?

Yes, once the keys are arranged and we know what is staying. Label those things or send photos with notes, and ask for photos of the empty rooms afterwards.

Can you clear a let between tenants?

Yes. Give us the next tenancy's start date and tell us what belongs to the landlord, such as beds or white goods, so it stays put.

Will the High Street charity shops take the furniture?

Some of it, if it is clean, in good condition and upholstered pieces still carry a fire safety label. Mattresses, broken items and unlabelled seating are the usual refusals.

We keep finding letters and photos in the drawers. What happens to those?

Anything personal is put aside and handed to you, never bagged. If you would rather go through drawers yourself, we leave them until last.

Tell us what needs to go

A few quick questions and a photo or two is usually all it takes to give you a firm price. Or pick up the phone and talk to us.
