Emmaus North East offers house clearance services ranging from a selective removal to a full house clearance.
Our full house clearance service results in a completely empty property. The team takes care of packing and removing everything – both unwanted items and those we can resell in our charity shops. We also offer a free collection of up to 5 items of our choice and can discuss further areas individually. Our house clearance service covers South Shields, Gateshead, North Tyneside, Durham, Northumberland and South Tyneside.
Why use Emmaus North East for your house clearance?
No one likes to think of once-treasured possessions going to landfill.
When you are faced with the prospect of sorting and clearing items gathered over many years, it can seem like a daunting task. Emmaus North East’s house clearance service has been developed to support customer’s requirements, from those managing a bereavement to those downsizing.
Our experienced and friendly crew will pack up and load the agreed items into our van and bring them back to our community. The items will be carefully sorted to ensure that reusable goods find a new home via one of our charity shops, giving someone else the chance to enjoy them.
Making a difference
The income we generate, through both the house clearance service and the sale of collected items, helps to provide accommodation, food, support, training and work experience for individuals who have experienced homelessness.
All our social enterprises, including the house clearance service, are operated by and for our companions and this work experience is cited by companions as one of the most important parts of belonging to an Emmaus community.
This means that when you choose to book a service or make a purchase with Emmaus North East, you know your payment is going to help people to support themselves out of homelessness.

Customer testimonials
Patrick, Emmaus customer, November 2025“I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful the morning of the ‘clearance’ was, under the leadership of your team. It all went very smoothly. Not only were the team efficient, but very sensitive to my situation. I could not imagine that anyone else could have done it better.”
James, Emmaus customer, October 2025“It looks like a totally different house. Thank you and your team for the amazing work they have done. I’m truly impressed and grateful, thanks again.”
Lynne, Emmaus customer, September 2025“That’s an excellent service. Thank you, I will certainly recommend the company if anyone needs clearances.”
Sylvia, Emmaus customer, September 2025“I was very happy with the work carried out by the three chaps. They never stopped working and are obviously experts at what they do! I didn’t think everything would fit in the van but they managed admirably. I really hope some use can be made of some of the items, but I am very grateful that you will dispose of the rest, and I am confident – responsibly. I will be happy to recommend you on to anyone else. Thank you again, and thank you to the three chaps who worked so hard.”
Dennis, Emmaus customer, June 2025“Many thanks for setting up my move and to your team who worked non stop to make the transfer happen so well. Any hitch they soon solved. I will certainly recommend using Emmaus to anyone looking for this type of assistance.”
