We Understand

This Is More Than a Clearance. It's a Farewell.

"A home holds a lifetime of memories. Every cupboard, every drawer, every corner — it all carries meaning. We never forget that when we walk through the door."

When you've just lost someone you love, the last thing you should have to worry about is the practical task of clearing their home. Yet it must be done — often under the pressure of probate timescales, an estate sale, or a rental agreement.

That is exactly where Ceemac steps in. Since 2013, we have worked alongside bereaved families, executors, and solicitors across Glasgow and Central Scotland. We know how to hold space for grief while getting the job done — efficiently, respectfully, and without making you feel rushed.

We'll work at whatever pace is right for you. If you need to sit for a moment. If you need us to stop. If you'd like us to step outside while you gather yourself. We understand. We've been here before.

How We Work

Our Bereavement Clearance Process

Every step is designed to reduce your burden — not add to it.

1

A Gentle First Conversation

You call or enquire online — whichever feels easier. We'll listen. We'll ask only what we need to know, and we'll answer every question you have honestly. There is no pressure at any stage.

2

Free Home Visit & Quote

We visit the property at a time that suits you — and at no cost. We assess what's involved, discuss any items of particular importance, and provide a clear written quote. No surprises.

3

We Work Around Your Timescale

Probate, executry, and estate matters have their own timelines. We are flexible and can often accommodate urgent clearances — or wait patiently when legal matters need time to resolve.

4

Respectful, Careful Clearance

Our team arrives discreetly, works quietly, and handles every item carefully. We set aside anything that may have sentimental or monetary value and check with you before proceeding. You remain in control throughout.

5

SEPA Documentation Provided

On completion, we provide a full SEPA waste transfer document — a legal record of all items removed and how they were disposed of. This is often required by solicitors and executors during the probate process.

6

Property Left Tidy & Ready

We leave the property clean and ready for its next chapter — whether that's a sale, a rental, or simply handing back the keys. We treat every home as if it were our own.

Ready to talk through what's involved? There's no pressure, no obligation. Just an honest conversation with someone who understands what you're going through.

"My mother passed away in March after a long illness. I live in London and had to organise the clearance of her Glasgow flat from a distance, which felt completely overwhelming. From the very first phone call, the team at Ceemac were wonderful — calm, kind, and completely professional. They kept me informed at every stage, set aside a few items they thought I might want to see before deciding, and sent me photos of the finished property. The SEPA document they provided was exactly what the solicitors needed. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. They took something that felt impossible and made it manageable."

For Solicitors & Executors

SEPA Registration & Executry Documentation

If you are acting as an executor, a solicitor, or a family representative managing the clearance of an estate, you need a clearance company you can rely on — legally, practically, and professionally.

Ceemac is a fully registered waste carrier with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). This means:

  • All waste is removed and disposed of in full compliance with Scottish waste legislation
  • We provide a formal waste transfer note (WTN) upon completion of every clearance
  • The WTN confirms what was removed, how it was transported, and how it was disposed of
  • This documentation satisfies solicitor and court requirements for probate and executry purposes
  • We can liaise directly with solicitors or estate agents if that's easier for you

Important: Using an unregistered waste carrier can leave you personally liable for illegal waste disposal — even if you were unaware. Always ask for SEPA registration details before appointing a clearance company.

What We Clear

We Handle Everything — So You Don't Have To

A full bereavement house clearance typically involves a complete property — every room, every cupboard, every space. We manage it all, sorting as we go:

  • All furniture — beds, sofas, wardrobes, dining sets, and more
  • White goods and kitchen appliances
  • Personal effects, clothing, and soft furnishings
  • Books, ornaments, and collected items
  • Loft contents and stored items
  • Garden furniture and outdoor items
  • Garage contents and tools
  • Documents and paperwork (you remain in control of these)

Items in good condition are donated to local charities wherever possible. We'll always separate out anything that may have sentimental or financial value and discuss it with you before making any decision.

Your Questions Answered

Bereavement Clearance — Frequently Asked Questions

No — many families choose not to be present, particularly those who live some distance away or who find it too difficult emotionally. You can leave us a key and we will keep you informed throughout, sending photos if that would help.

If you would prefer to be there, that is equally fine. We can work around your presence and will always check with you before making any decisions about items.

Ideally, remove any items of clear financial or sentimental value that you definitely wish to keep — jewellery, important documents, family photographs. But please don't feel you must sort through everything first. That is our job.

If we encounter anything during the clearance that we think you may want — a photograph album, a piece of jewellery we're unsure about — we will set it aside and contact you rather than making that decision ourselves.

In many cases, yes. The clearance of a property for sale or rental can proceed before probate is fully complete, as long as the executor or next of kin has authorised the work. We can advise based on your specific circumstances, and our SEPA documentation helps satisfy any legal requirements your solicitor may have.

It depends on the size and contents of the property. A typical two- or three-bedroom house is usually cleared in a single day. Larger properties or those with significant volumes of items may require two days. We'll give you an accurate estimate at our free initial visit.

Yes. As a SEPA registered waste carrier, we provide a formal waste transfer note (WTN) on completion of every clearance. This document confirms all waste was removed legally and disposed of responsibly, and is accepted by solicitors and executors for probate and executry purposes.

Yes, absolutely. We frequently work alongside solicitors and estate agents to coordinate the clearance as part of the wider probate and property sale process. Simply provide us with their contact details and we'll liaise directly, keeping you informed throughout.

We prioritise reuse and donation wherever possible. Items in good condition — furniture, clothing, books, kitchenware — are offered to local charities and donation centres. Items that cannot be reused are sorted for recycling. Only what cannot be recycled goes to a licensed waste facility. Everything is handled with respect.
