Clearing homes in Dunboyne
Dunboyne has an older core than most of the commuter belt: Main Street with its shops and pubs, the two churches, the Georgian house that is now Dunboyne Castle Hotel in its own grounds, and the River Tolka passing under the bridge on its way to Dublin Bay. Around that core are terraces and bungalows from the middle of the last century, and then the estates.
Those came in waves. Beechdale and Castleview were built as Dublin families looked for houses they could afford within reach of the city in the 1990s and 2000s, and the Station Road and Rooske Road areas filled in around the same time. The reopened railway in 2010, with Dunboyne station and M3 Parkway at Pace, and the M3 itself turned a village into a town of three and four-bed semis with driveways, garages and attics.
Across the county line is Clonee, and beyond it the apartment blocks and estates of Blanchardstown, so a lot of the people who ring us about Dunboyne are moving in from or out to Dublin 15.
What we clear in Dunboyne
- Family houses in Beechdale, Castleview, Rooske Road and the Station Road estates, cleared before a sale, a move or a new tenancy, attic and garage included.
- Apartments and duplexes near the station and on Main Street, often rented, where a landlord needs the place empty between tenants. Our apartment clearance page sets out how lifts, car parks and management companies are dealt with.
- Bereavement clearances in the bungalows and older terraces, where the house has been in the same family for decades. See bereavement clearance for how we work with executors and families.
- Attics in 1990s houses that were boarded out years ago and never emptied. Christmas boxes, cots, suitcases and the old TV go down in one go.
- Furniture loads when a house is being refitted and a sofa, beds and wardrobes have to go.
Where we come from and what we take on
The crew is Dublin-based and drives out to Dunboyne; we have no yard in Meath. From Dublin it is the M50 to the N3, Clonee and five minutes more, so the town sits inside the ring of places we can reach in well under an hour. The travel is part of the fixed quote, not an extra.
Outside Dublin our priority is full-house and larger clearances, and that applies in Dunboyne too, but being so close to Dublin 15 means a smaller job can usually be slotted in beside a Blanchardstown or Castleknock clearance on the same run. Tell us what you have and we will say honestly whether it is worth the trip.
Parking, stairs and the practical side
The estates are easy: the van goes on the driveway or at the kerb and everything comes out through the front door or the side gate. Some of the Castleview and Beechdale phases have green areas and set-back parking rather than driveways on every house, in which case we park as near as we can and carry a little further.
Main Street has limited parking and shop-top flats with narrow stairs, so we start early there and keep the van’s time at the kerb short. Around the station the roads fill with commuter cars before the first trains, so a mid-morning or Saturday start makes everyone’s life easier. If a lift or a management company is involved in an apartment block, we arrange it before the day.
Why people in Dunboyne call us
A town that grew this fast has a lot of houses changing hands at once: first owners downsizing, young families moving in, landlords turning rentals around. Most of the calls we get from Dunboyne are one of those three, plus families clearing a parent’s home while living in Dublin or abroad. All of them want the carrying, sorting and disposal done by one crew in one visit rather than a skip on the drive for a week.
Two people and a box van do that, and our waste collection permit means you know where the load goes afterwards: reusable furniture and household goods are set aside for donation or resale, recyclables are separated, and the remainder goes to a licensed transfer station. If you want to get the house ready beforehand, our guide on how to prepare for a house clearance covers it.
Dunboyne is the nearest Meath town to our usual Dublin rounds, so we often pair it with Blanchardstown or Castleknock, and it sits on the road out to Navan.
