Three kinds of house in one town
Navan is the largest town in Meath, and the clear-outs here come in three shapes. Close to the centre, where the Boyne and the Blackwater meet, there are older terraces and two-storey town houses built tight to the footpath. Around them is a wide ring of estates, Johnstown among them, where much of the town now lives. Beyond the last roundabout it's farmland, with bungalows and farmhouses out towards Kells, Athboy and Slane.
We're a Dublin crew, so a Navan job is planned rather than squeezed in. You send photos, we agree a fixed price, and the van comes up the M3 on a day set aside for you, with enough time to finish. We're fully insured, and everything leaves under our waste collection permit, NWCPO-25-13287-01, as an authorised waste carrier.
Estate houses: it's rarely the whole house
In a Navan estate semi or detached house, the rooms people live in are usually fine. The volume is stored out of sight: an attic boarded the year the family moved in, a garage that hasn't held a car in a decade, a garden shed with a lawnmower nobody has started in years.
You can book any one of those by itself. Our attic clearance brings everything down through the hatch without scraping the landing walls. A garage clear-out gets the space back for a car, a gym or a utility room, and shed clearance can include taking the shed down once it's empty.
Loading in the estates is usually simple. We reverse onto the drive, put covers on the stair carpet, and keep the footpath clear for the neighbours. Where cars are parked nose to tail in the evenings, a morning start tends to be easier, so mention it when you send the photos.

The older streets are a different job. Houses here often open straight onto the footpath, with a narrow hall, a steep stairs and a small yard at the back that can only be reached through the house. There may be nowhere to stop outside for long.
So we stage it. Everything comes down and is lined up in the hall or front room, then the van pulls in and we load in short, quick runs. Big wardrobes and beds are taken apart upstairs rather than forced round a tight turn. For a flat over a shop or a unit in an apartment block, our apartment clearance page explains how we work around stairs, lifts and management rules.
Typical jobs on these streets are rentals between tenants and a parent's house being readied for sale.
Out the country roads
A farmhouse clearance near Navan is usually two jobs: the house, and the yard. Car sheds, stores and old workshops hold decades of timber, tools, tyres and furniture that was moved out of the kitchen long ago. We clear them on the same visit and keep scrap metal apart for recycling.
Send a photo of the lane, the gate and where a van could turn, as well as each building. That tells us which van to bring and how long the carry will be. Farm chemicals, waste oil and roof sheeting that might contain asbestos are specialist items, so point them out and we'll tell you straight what we can't take.
When it's the home a family grew up in, the pace is yours. We set aside photographs, papers and anything personal, and we can work in stages if brothers and sisters are travelling in from different places. Our bereavement clearance page explains how we fit around executors and probate. If a house has filled up over the years until it's hard to live in, hoarder clearance is done quietly, at the pace of the person who lives there.
Clearing a house in Navan? Send photos of the rooms, attic, garage and any outbuildings on WhatsApp, with your Eircode. We'll reply with a fixed price and the dates we can come up.
What sets the price
There's no rate card. The figure comes from your photos, and four things decide it:
| What we look at | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Volume | How many van loads the job will fill |
| The carry | Stairs, a long hall, or a van parked down the street |
| Special items | Fridges, freezers, mattresses and electricals each have their own disposal route |
| Time on site | How long the crew needs, with the trip up the M3 built in |
Once you've agreed it, that's what you pay. Most full houses take one to two days, and a farmhouse with a packed yard sits at the longer end. Our house clearance page lists everything a full job includes, and house clearance in Meath covers the rest of the county.
Once the rooms are empty
An empty house is the easiest time to sort out the finish before a sale or a new letting. We clean carpets and stairs by hot-water extraction (carpet cleaning in Navan) and wash driveways and patios (power washing in Navan).
As for the contents, decent furniture is put aside for reuse where we can, metals and appliances are recycled, and whatever is left goes to licensed waste facilities.
