Testimonials
Every situation I come across is unique. I do my best to treat the deceased's possessions and treasures as I would my own. My approach is holistic. I believe it's important that things go to a good home, to be appreciated and used by someone new. It's also a very important part of the healing process for those left behind, to know that a relative's belongings have gone to someone who can give them a new lease of life, and not just thrown in the rubbish. I identify what can be sold to raise funds for the estate. I aim to re-home, repurpose, recycle and donate as much of the residue as is possible, sending as little as possible to landfill.
Here are a few testimonials from previous clients:
As I keep saying - and will say to anyone who asks - you have done an amazing job and quite frankly I do not know how we could have done even a small percentage of this given the circumstances.

Thank you for recommending Muirne Buchanan and her service - she has been a huge help. With her professional and caring manner she took care of things quickly and without any complications. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone and hope you keep her in mind for future situations such as the one we had.

I recently had to find a house clearance team to empty a property that had been un-lived in for a number of years and was not only damp, but full of woodworm. It was packed with furniture and personal possessions and had a large decaying outhouse also stacked high .
Muirne assessed the work needed and her approach was professional, friendly and informative. I was very pleased to hand the whole job over to her and was very impressed by what she and her team achieved. She kept me fully informed as to progress, sending me photos with her regular updates. She separated out any items worth saving and arranged for them to be auctioned, took as much as possible to charity shops and even boxed up and sent a few items to me to be kept. She was very thorough and careful.
I found Muirne to be extremely efficient and trustworthy and with excellent communication skills, so that I always knew what was ongoing.
It was all dealt with remarkably quickly and the house was left completely empty and clean. The outhouse too was cleared out.
I think the service she has provided is outstanding and I am extremely grateful to her and the whole team.

Thank you very much for all your time and work at A**’s home, there was so much to do! You’ve worked so carefully and considerately, and in such challenging conditions. This could not have been done without your help, at least not in such a professional and considered way.
