The Story of Coldingham

Coldingham's history stretches back to the seventh century, when a monastery was founded on the headland nearby; the present Coldingham Priory, largely rebuilt in the twelfth century for Benedictine monks, still stands at the heart of the village and remains in use as the parish church. The ruins around it are a scheduled monument and a well-known local landmark.

Around the priory the village grew as a farming and fishing community, and in recent decades it has also become a base for visitors drawn to Coldingham Bay and the coastline beyond. Many properties here are long-held family homes or holiday cottages, and we tailor each clearance — full or partial — to which kind it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you clear a house in Coldingham?

Most single-property clearances in Coldingham are completed within one to two days, depending on size and access.

Do you recycle or donate items instead of sending everything to landfill?

Yes. We sort every clearance for reuse, donation and recycling first, and only send genuine waste to landfill.

Can you clear a property before probate is granted?

We can carry out a full inventory and hold items securely, then complete the clearance once you have the legal go-ahead.

Is a house clearance in Coldingham disruptive for neighbours?

No. Our vehicles and teams are sized for narrow village streets, and we work quietly and tidily throughout.

Do I need to be present during the clearance?

Not necessarily. Many clients arrange access and a key, and we send photos before and after so you stay informed.

What items can’t you take?

We can remove almost everything, including furniture and appliances; a small number of hazardous items need separate licensed disposal, which we can arrange.
