Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

Antique Painting Found During House Clearance Worth Thousands

A painting that was found behind an old bureau could sell for a six figure sum when it goes to auction.

The painting, which was covered in dust and cobwebs, was found during a house clearance in rural Northamptonshire. It is believed to be the work of French 20th century post-impressionist Maurice Utrillo.

Utrillo was spurned by the art world during his time but his works have since gone on to hold the kind of esteem usually reserved for others in his field such as Monet and Renoir.

Despite the fact that the signature is missing, experts firmly believe it to be one of his pieces as the image is of a French town and the brush strokes are indicative of Utrillo’s style. Previous works of his have fetched millions, including one in December which sold for £4.3 million at a Parisian auction.

Auctioneer Jonathan Humbert told BBC News of how the painting looked when it was found. “It was covered in filth, dust and cobwebs,” he said. “But this painting revealed itself and it was clearly a work of some repute.”

Humbert told the Bearsden Herald of the original confusion surrounding the piece and who the painter could be. “One of the relatives of the deceased rang another member of the family and there was some spoken word provenance. The name Maurice Utrillo came up. We have cross referenced with other works of Utrillo and there is certainly a uniformity in the style.”

He want on to say that the signature had probably been scratched out to make it easier to get the painting out of France.
