House Clearances

At Clumber Auction House we understand that clearing a home can be an emotional and overwhelming job. Whether you are downsizing, dealing with a probate estate, or simply need a professional and efficient clearance, our experienced team is here to help. We can clear part of a property or all of it, tailored to your individual needs, and leave it ready for you to sell or let.

Why choose an auction house for your clearance?

Unlike skip-hire firms or general waste removal services, we are working auctioneers who understand the true value of household contents. That benefits you in several ways.

• Items of value are identified and sold at auction — You receive the proceeds, less our standard commission, rather than everything going to landfill.
• Auction or cash — We can enter contents into our fortnightly sales, or where it suits you better, make an offer to buy contents outright.
• Reduced clearance costs — Because saleable items offset the cost of the work, our service is often considerably cheaper than the alternatives.
• Environmentally responsible — We recycle, donate and rehome wherever possible, keeping waste to a minimum.
• Fully insured and respectful — Our team handles every property and its contents with care.

What we clear

We handle complete or partial clearances of houses, flats and bungalows; probate and deceased estates; downsizing and retirement moves; garages, lofts, cellars and outbuildings; and commercial premises and offices. We also clear containers and storage units, arriving with a small team so the unit is ready to let again.

Items we look for

Our auctioneers specialise in spotting the things others overlook: antiques, vintage furniture and decorative arts; gold, silver and jewellery; coins, medals and militaria; vintage toys, comics and collectables; paintings, prints and ceramics; and tools, industrial items and workshop equipment. A drawer of old coins or a shoebox of medals can make a real difference to the final outcome.

Areas we cover

We provide house clearances across Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop, Retford, Mansfield, Chesterfield and the wider South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire areas. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, please ask; we are happy to discuss it.

How it works

1. Free consultation. Contact us to arrange a visit. We assess the property and give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Valuation. Our auctioneers identify items suitable for auction and give you estimated values, so you know what to expect.
3. Clearance. Our team clears the property efficiently and respectfully, on a date that suits you.
4. Auction proceeds. Saleable items are entered into our fortnightly auctions. You receive the hammer price less 18% commission and the £2.00 lotting fee per lot, typically within 15 to 21 working days of the sale.
