Clearing homes in Baldoyle
Baldoyle’s old centre is Main Street and Strand Road, running along the estuary with a mix of terraced cottages, two-storey houses and a few larger period homes, with the Mayne river marking the edge of the parish. Behind it, Grange Road leads inland past the industrial estate to Donaghmede, and the 1970s estates of Seagrange, Admiral Park and Brookstone filled the ground between the village and the railway with semi-detached family homes.
The racecourse closed in the early 1970s and sat empty for decades. From the early 2000s it was built out as the Coast, Red Arches and the streets around Myrtle, a large new district of houses, duplexes and apartment blocks with Racecourse Park beside it. Many of those homes are rented or were bought by first-time buyers, so they turn over more often than the village houses.
The DART runs along the western edge, with Bayside, Howth Junction and Clongriffin stations all within reach, and Portmarnock and the Velvet Strand are just across the water.
What we clear in Baldoyle
- Family homes in Seagrange, Admiral Park and the village being sold or let after a long stretch in one family. Our house clearance page explains what a full job involves.
- Apartments and duplexes at the Coast and Red Arches between tenants, or when an owner is moving on. See apartment clearance for how we handle lifts and management companies.
- Bereavement clearances for families who need the house emptied before it can be valued or sold, done at the pace you set.
- Garages and sheds, which in the 1970s estates have usually been full since the 1980s. Our garage clearance page covers what goes in the van.
- Odds and ends after a move: the broken bed, the old cooker, the garden furniture, the bags the removal company would not take.
Whatever can be reused goes for donation or resale where we can place it, recyclables are pulled out, and the rest travels under our waste collection permit to a licensed transfer station. The photos on this page come from a house clearance we did in Sutton nearby, the next village along the coast, and show the standard we work to.
Village lanes, estate driveways and the Coast
Baldoyle gives us three kinds of access. On Main Street and Strand Road the houses front straight on to the road, parking is limited and the street is narrow in places, so we load from the kerb with the hazards on or from a rear lane where one exists, and we try for a quiet weekday morning.
In Seagrange, Admiral Park and Brookstone it is a driveway and a side gate, which is as easy as it gets. The van reverses up, the garage and shed are reached from the side, and nothing has to be carried far.
At the Coast and Red Arches the rules are those of any modern development: set-down space at the entrance, lift to the apartment, managing agent informed, lobby kept clear. The underground car parks have height barriers, so we do not use them.
Why Baldoyle households call us
Baldoyle has both of the situations that bring people to us. In the village and the older estates it is a parent’s house being cleared after a death or a move into care, often by a family now spread across Dublin and beyond, who need one crew to handle the lifting, the sorting and the disposal. In the newer districts it is a move, a sale or a tenancy ending, with a deadline attached.
Either way, two people and a box van are usually cheaper and quicker than a skip, and nothing sits outside the house for a week. If you are weighing it up, our article on house clearance versus skip hire sets out the honest comparison.
We are fully insured and hold a current Waste Collection Permit. From Baldoyle we cover Sutton and Howth on the peninsula, Portmarnock across the estuary and Donaghmede inland, so a second address on the one trip is no trouble.
