Clearing apartments, houses and offices in Leopardstown
Leopardstown was fields and the racecourse until the 1990s. Then the Luas green line was extended with stops at Central Park, Glencairn and The Gallops, the office parks went up along the M50, and the land between them was built out with apartment developments on a scale that south Dublin had not seen before. Central Park alone mixes office blocks with hundreds of apartments, and Leopardstown Valley, The Gallops and the estates towards Ballyogan add thousands more homes in blocks, duplexes and three-storey houses.
The office side matters too. South County Business Park, Central Park and the business campuses off Brewery Road hold some of the biggest employers in the country, and when a company moves floors or leaves, the furniture has to go somewhere. Sandyford is on one side, Stepaside and Ballyogan on the other, and Foxrock is across the racecourse.
Race days change everything for an hour or two either side, with the roads around the course and the M50 junction slowing to a crawl, so we check the fixture list before we book a Leopardstown job.
What we clear in Leopardstown
- Apartments in Central Park, Leopardstown Valley, The Gallops and the smaller blocks, cleared for landlords between tenants, for owners who are selling and for families after a bereavement. Our apartment clearance page covers how we work with management companies.
- Offices in the business parks: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, partitioning, kitchen fit-outs and the general debris of a move. See office clearance.
- Three-storey houses and duplexes in the newer estates, where the stairs are the main feature of the job.
- Storage cages and basement lockers that come with many of the apartments and fill up with bikes, buggies and boxes.
- Single items: a sofa that came in through the balcony and will not go out the door, a mattress, a broken washing machine.
If you are a landlord preparing a unit for new tenants, this end-of-tenancy clearance guide for landlords walks through the sequence.
Access, parking and the practical bits
Nearly every Leopardstown job starts with the management company. The big developments want a booked time for the goods lift, sometimes a deposit against lift protection, a van registered for the loading bay and a contact at the concierge desk on the day. We handle all of that once you give us the block, the apartment number and the managing agent’s details.
Underground car parks are usually too low for a box van, so we load from the surface loading bay or a visitors’ space and bring items through the lobby. Where the lift is small, wardrobes and sofas are dismantled in the apartment. None of this is a problem, it just needs arranging in advance rather than on the morning.
For offices, we work to the building’s rules on hours and service lifts, and out-of-hours clearances are possible where the landlord allows them. A floor plan or a quick video of the space is the fastest way for us to size the job.
Why people in Leopardstown call us
The typical Leopardstown call is from a landlord or letting agent who has a tenant moving out and another moving in, with a short gap between. The second most common is a company with a lease ending and a floor of furniture to remove before the handover inspection. Both want it done on a specific day with no fuss at the concierge desk, which is where knowing how the developments operate pays off.
Junk Removal is Dublin-based, fully insured and holds Waste Collection Permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. Office furniture in good condition and household items that still have life in them are set aside for reuse or donation, electrical equipment is kept separate for recycling and only genuine waste goes to a licensed transfer station. For a sense of how a flat clearance runs from start to finish, read our apartment clearance guide.
We cover the adjoining areas on the same basis, including Sandyford, Stepaside and Foxrock, and a job that pairs an apartment with a storage unit nearby can be done on one booking.
