Estate Clearance
Full, sensitive clearance of the property — every room, every item. We sort and organise with care, working with you and your family to decide what happens to each belonging. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is overlooked.
by Caroline Mills
Every estate tells a story. We help write its final chapter with care.
When someone you love leaves behind a home full of memories, knowing what to do next can feel impossible. That's exactly where we come in.
"You took the panic and overwhelm completely out of my life. I didn't know it could feel this manageable." — A Wellington family
Deceased estate clearance only
Licensed secondhand dealer · Wellington region
"We believe every belonging has a story worth telling — and every family deserves the space to grieve without the weight of what comes next."
What we do
A focused service, done thoughtfully.
We don't do removals, downsizing, or general clearances. This is all we do — and we do it with care.
Selling on Your Behalf
Items with real value are sold through trusted channels — and the proceeds go directly to you, not to us. Caroline's trained eye means nothing worthwhile gets missed, and nothing gets undervalued out of convenience.
Responsible Rehoming
What can be donated, is. What can be repurposed, will be. We have established relationships with local charities and know exactly where things are most needed. Only what truly can't find a new home gets disposed of — and even then, responsibly.
How we work together
Three steps. No pressure at any point.
You set the pace. We fit around you.
01
Reach out
A phone call or a quick message. Share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. There's no commitment, no obligation — just a conversation with someone who genuinely understands.
02
We visit the property
Caroline comes to you. She walks through the estate, listens to what matters to the family, and puts together a clear plan — one that works around your timeline, not ours.
03
We take care of everything
From the first item sorted to the last room cleared, every detail is handled. We keep you informed without burdening you. You focus on your family. We handle the rest.

About Caroline
A service built on care,
A service built on care,
not just clearance.
Caroline founded Estate after years working in removals, sales, and family support — and after seeing, firsthand, how often families were left to manage the hardest parts alone.
She knows what things are worth — not just financially, but to the people who loved them. When you work with Caroline, you work with her directly. There's no team, no handoffs, no one who doesn't know your family's story.
Just one person who takes your loved one's belongings as seriously as you do.

What families say
The experience we're committed to delivering.
Every time, for every family.
"Caroline handled my mother's estate with such gentleness. She took the time to understand what mattered to our family — and made something completely overwhelming feel manageable."
"I didn't know where to start. Caroline did. From the first phone call to the final day, she kept us informed and made us feel like we were in very safe hands."
We're building our testimonials as we grow. These reflect the experience we're committed to delivering.
Our commitment this month
Items donated on behalf of our clients are going to Women's Refuge Wellington. Every clearance, every item — we track where things land. Because a belonging that finds a new home is one less thing in landfill, and one more thing that carries a story forward.
Our approach to sustainability →Ready to talk?
There's no pressure.
Whether you're at the beginning of this process or just trying to understand your options — we're here. A conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
