Clearing homes across Kildare
The Dublin end of the county is practically suburb: Leixlip, Celbridge and Maynooth along the M4 and the Maynooth rail line, and Naas, Sallins and Newbridge along the M7 and the Kildare line. These towns multiplied in size during the 1990s and 2000s, and most of the housing is three and four-bed semis in large estates with driveways and garages, plus apartments and duplexes near the stations and town centres. Celbridge and Leixlip in particular have a lot of 1990s houses now changing hands for the first time, which brings garages and attics full of thirty years of family life.
Away from the motorways it changes. Clane, Prosperous, Kilcock, Rathangan, Monasterevin and the countryside around Kildare Town and the Curragh are old farmhouses, one-off bungalows on an acre, and modern dormer houses with a yard, a hayshed and a workshop. Those are the jobs with several van loads in the outbuildings.
Kildare Town itself has the cathedral, the National Stud and Kildare Village on its edge, and a mix of old terraces, period houses and newer estates. We have a separate page for Newbridge, the biggest town in the centre of the county.
What we clear in Kildare
- Commuter-estate family homes in Naas, Celbridge, Leixlip, Maynooth and Clane, cleared before a sale, a move or a new tenancy. Furniture, carpets, white goods, attic and garage in a single visit.
- Farmhouses and rural bungalows with outbuildings: the house, then the sheds, the garage and the old workshop. We quote for the whole site after a walk-round, not just the rooms.
- Bereavement clearances in long-held family homes, done at your pace, with papers, photographs and anything personal set aside. Our guide on how to clear a house after a bereavement is a good place to start.
- Hoarded properties, handled discreetly in towns and villages where everyone knows everyone. See how we approach a hoarder clearance.
- Apartments and duplexes near the stations in Maynooth, Sallins, Newbridge and Kildare Town between tenants.
Builder’s rubble, old fencing and bulk garden waste from a rural site are a skip-type load rather than a van job, and we will say so if a skip is the better fit.
Access, parking and the practical bits
In the estates access is easy: driveway or kerbside, side gate to the back garden, and wide enough roads for a box van. Older town centres such as Naas Main Street, Maynooth’s Main Street and the centre of Kildare Town have pay parking and tighter streets, so for terraces and flats there we aim for a morning start and use rear lanes where they exist.
Rural jobs are about the yard. Most farm lanes and gateways take a box van without trouble, but low-hanging trees, soft ground after rain and a long walk from the van to a back shed all add time. Tell us about the approach when you send photos and we will plan for it.
We come out from our Dublin base on the M50 and then the N7 and M7 or the N4 and M4, depending on which side of the county you are on. For bigger jobs we also go on into Carlow.
Why people in Kildare call us
Kildare is a commuter county, and a lot of the people who ring us are sons and daughters in Dublin or abroad sorting out a parent’s house in Naas, Clane or the countryside around Kildare Town. The rest are families moving house, landlords between tenants and executors with a deadline. All of them want one company to do the carrying, the sorting and the disposal.
Executors often ask about timing. A standard estate house is a day; a farmhouse with full outbuildings is usually two, and we would rather quote for two days than run late on one.
That is what a two-person crew with a van and a waste collection permit gives you. Whatever can be reused is kept back for donation, recyclables are separated and the remainder goes to a licensed transfer station. If you want to know what we will and will not take, our post on what a house clearance service removes spells it out.
For the Dublin side of the county line, see our pages for Lucan, which borders Leixlip and Celbridge, and Tallaght at the top of the N7 corridor.
