House clearance in St Boswells

Clearing homes by one of the largest greens in the Borders

St Boswells sits on a broad bend of the River Tweed, close to Dryburgh Abbey and the panorama at Scott's View, and is known for its expansive village green — still home to the historic St Boswells Fair each July. The village mixes Victorian villas, riverside cottages and newer housing developments, alongside larger properties out toward the Mertoun Estate and neighbouring Newtown St Boswells.

We clear village-centre cottages, family homes on the quieter residential streets, and rural properties on the roads toward Maxton and Ancrum. A good proportion of our work here follows a bereavement or a move to be closer to family, and we're used to coordinating with relatives and solicitors who may be based well outside the Borders.

Access around the green and the main street can be busy, particularly during the Fair or on market days, so we're happy to plan around quieter times if that suits you better.

What to expect on clearance day

We agree parking and timing with you in advance, particularly important around the green during busier periods, then move through the property in the order that suits you — larger furniture first, followed by boxed belongings sorted into keep, donate, recycle and remove.

Items you've asked us to look out for are kept aside throughout, and once the job is done we sweep the property so it's genuinely ready for its next stage — whether that's a sale, a new tenant, or simply handed back to you.

A typical St Boswells cottage or terraced home is completed in a day; larger detached properties with outbuildings may need longer, which we'll confirm before booking.
