Deceased estate clearance in Brisbane, done room by room.
Most of a deceased estate clearance in Brisbane is sorting, lifting and getting things to the right place. PicUp haulers work through the house one room at a time, set aside whatever the family is keeping, and offer usable furniture to charity before anything else is decided.
- Teams of two to three haulers, working one room at a time
- Items to keep are set aside before loading starts
- The clearance can run in stages across several bookings
Deceased estate clearance in Brisbane, at the family's pace
The decisions about what stays and what goes belong to the family. The sorting help, the lifting, the loading and the trips to charity, recycler or transfer station are what PicUp handles. A booking can cover one room, a single unit, or a whole house over several visits.
A team of two to three haulers works through the property room by room. Anything marked to keep goes to one side before loading starts, so nothing leaves the house by accident. Furniture and household goods still in usable condition are offered to charity, recyclable material goes to a recycler, and only what is left goes to a licensed transfer station.
Anything up to three metres long and 150kg per item fits the PicUp fleet, which runs from utes and one to three tonne cargo vans through to a four tonne pantech with a tail-lift. That covers wardrobes, bed frames, lounges, whitegoods, filing cabinets and the contents of a garage.
What is included in an estate clearance
A standard Brisbane estate clearance booking covers:
- Furniture, whitegoods, bedding and household contents removed room by room
- A keep pile set aside in one room and left untouched
- Usable furniture and goods delivered to a charity that accepts them
- Televisions, computers and other e-waste taken to a recycler
- Garage, shed and yard contents cleared in the same visit or a later one
PicUp does not handle probate, valuations, cleaning or paperwork. Documents, jewellery and personal papers stay with the family or the solicitor, which is why the keep pile is agreed before the haulers start loading. Hazardous material cannot travel either: asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste.
Common Brisbane estate clearances
Executor living interstateAn executor books the clearance from Sydney or Melbourne, gives the haulers access details, and follows the job by tracking instead of flying up for it.
Retirement village or unit handoverA one or two bedroom unit that has to be emptied before the keys go back, usually one booking with a van or pantech.
Family home in stagesThe first booking takes the obvious furniture and whitegoods. A second one clears what is left after the family has been through the cupboards and the garage.
Part clearance, part moveSome pieces go to a family member's house and the rest is cleared, so the two jobs are quoted together.
PicUp covers Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Northern Rivers NSW for residential work. If furniture is going to a relative rather than out of the family, see removals in Brisbane or small moves for one to ten items.
How a PicUp estate clearance runs
One room at a time
Haulers finish a room before moving on, so progress is easy to follow and nothing is missed behind a wardrobe.
The keep pile stays put
Items the family is keeping are set aside first. Nothing in that pile is loaded, moved or disposed of.
Charity before landfill
Usable furniture is offered to charity and recyclable material goes to a recycler. The transfer station is the last stop, not the first.
What a Brisbane estate clearance quote covers
Clearance work is quoted on the space the load takes up in the vehicle, plus the labour to carry it out. You see the price before the booking is confirmed, and it holds unless the load itself changes. Staged jobs are quoted per booking, so the second visit is priced on what is actually left.
Every quote includes:
- A two to three person hauler team for the rooms being cleared
- Carrying items out of the house, including down stairs
- A ute, cargo van or four tonne pantech matched to the load
- Travel to the charity, recycler or transfer station
- Live tracking on the day and a fixed price up front
Not included: probate, valuations, cleaning and document handling are outside what PicUp does. Hazardous material cannot travel on the platform either, so asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste need a separate arrangement.

Brisbane deceased estate clearance FAQs
How does a deceased estate clearance in Brisbane work?
You book a time and tell PicUp which rooms are being cleared. A team of two to three haulers works through the property room by room, setting aside anything the family is keeping before loading. Usable furniture is offered to charity, recyclable material goes to a recycler, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station.
Can the clearance be done in stages?
Yes. Many families book one visit for the large furniture and whitegoods, then a second once they have been through cupboards, the garage and the shed. Each booking is quoted on what is actually being taken, so there is no penalty for splitting the job across weeks.
What happens to furniture the family does not want?
Furniture and household goods in usable condition are offered to a charity that accepts them. E-waste and recyclable material go to a recycler. Only items that no one can take go to a licensed transfer station.
Does PicUp handle probate, valuations or cleaning?
No. PicUp clears and transports contents. Probate, valuations, cleaning and sorting documents or paperwork sit with the family, the solicitor or a specialist. Marking a keep pile before the haulers arrive is the practical way to protect anything that needs to stay.
What can PicUp not take from an estate?
Asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste cannot travel on the platform. Garages and sheds often hold a few of these, so set them aside before the booking. Everything else in a normal household, from wardrobes and whitegoods to boxes and garden gear, is fine.
