Here’s what some of our customers had to say about our service:
We had two large sheds full to the brim with possessions accumulated over three generations and, having made several attempts over the years,we just found it was an impossible task to deal with them. Arabella not only made it possible, she enabled us to do it efficiently, speedily, and cost-effectively. She is mindful of environmental issues and she organised things for us so that we could donate all that could be donated, sell all that could be sold, and skip only the minimum. In addition to categorising thousands of items and helping us to organise them for disposal/ re-homing, she also provided all of the information and support necessary for auction and for movement of the goods. We employed Arabella on two occasions and would do so again in an instant. Apart from her super-efficiency, Arabella is calm, discreet, trustworthy, very hard-working, very knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. Her follow-up and attention to detail is second-to-none. I recommend Arabella highly to anyone who needs help with clearing houses, sheds or any other space.

“Thank goodness I had Arabella to help me through the process of selling my old family home. The house had been in the family for 120+ years through four generations and it was apparent that nothing had ever been thrown out during that time – just hidden away. Additionally, she was dealing with three absentee owners.
Arabella worked with me for the best part of 9 months, organising absolutely everything associated with decluttering and preparing the house and relevant outdoor buildings for viewings pre-sale. She suggested and introduced the auctioneer who handled the sale of all the contents, overseeing every aspect of the preparation for those viewings, the viewings themselves and the eventual auction. Arabella organised the skips, removal to charity and brought in experts to look at certain items she felt might be of special value. She also got quotes for and organised the storage of those items I wanted to keep. There was nothing she wouldn’t tackle and if she didn’t know the answer (hardly ever!) she found out. Her attention to detail is extraordinary. When I was out of the country she kept me informed by e-mail, text and telephone. When I was in Ireland she followed up all our meetings with an e-mail reminder of what we had discussed, knowing that she had to keep my head on straight for me. Arabella was understanding of my emotional involvement but never let that get in the way and just got on with the job in hand. When things went sideways (which they did!) she didn’t panic, just got it sorted.
Arabella is totally client driven. She is incredibly efficient; confident and firm but never bossy, and never anything other than totally respectful. An absolute God send. Quite simply, there is no one better and I couldn’t have done it without her.

Arabella is providing a much needed yet overlooked service. Home clearance and preparation for sale can be extremely time consuming, not to mention stressful. Working full time and also finding myself temporarily incapacitated following an injury, having Arabella to liaise with made a huge difference. She researched and coordinated everything including packing and removal, painting, carpets and cleaning! I was regularly updated on the progress of each step.
I genuinely appreciate her work, and would not hesitate in recommending ClearMove.

Arabella recently helped us when we had to empty our mother’s house. She worked with us to identify the valuable items in the house, took photos of them and contacted various auction houses that she thought might be interested in selling them. She also provided us with phone numbers for charity shops, skip hire and other recycling services for the remaining contents. We were under some very severe time constraints and she was able to make sure that the charity shop came to take most of the furniture and fixtures in the house in a very timely fashion. Arabella was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive to our needs.

Arabella / Clear Move made my house move seamless and stress free. I was moving to Kerry with a newborn baby and young family and could not have done it without Arabella’s help.
Mel, Dublin/Kerry
I was told about ClearMove and decided to give Arabella a call. From first contact, I was impressed with her sensitive and respectful manner and later, her incredible efficiency. She managed the entire house clearance in only 13 days, which was quite a feat considering the size and contents of the house. She had a vast knowledge of the resources that would ensure as many items as possible avoided skip, instead being valued and sold or donated to a variety of suitable charities. We are delighted that we trusted Arabella with this incredibly challenging task and would happily recommend her to anyone else in need of such a service.
