Free Valuations

Wondering what that ring, that box of medals or that loft full of Dinky toys might fetch? Clumber Auction House offers free, no-obligation valuations from our experienced auctioneers and valuers. Whether you have a single item or an entire house of contents, we will give you an honest opinion of its likely auction value and advise you on the next steps, ensuring a smooth journey from valuation to auction if you decide to sell.

Three ways to get your free valuation

1. Walk in. Bring your items to the saleroom at 1 Station Road, Laughton Common, Dinnington, Sheffield S25 3RW, any weekday between 09:30 and 15:00. No appointment is needed for a few pieces; for larger quantities a quick call ahead on 07867 201883 helps us make sure someone is free to see you.
2. Email or WhatsApp photographs. Cannot get to us? Send clear photographs and a short description to info@clumberauctionhouse.com or by WhatsApp to 07867 201883. Include any marks, signatures or hallmarks you can see, and a photo of the back or base. We usually reply within 24 to 48 hours.
3. Home visit. For larger collections, estates or items that are awkward to move, we offer free home visits across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. A valuer will assess everything in situ and talk you through your options.
