The phone rang. A grieving son was on the call who didn’t know what to do. Most JunkLift calls start this way! No one expects to do this. It arrives without warning, adding another overwhelming responsibility during a difficult time.

The Day the Phone Rings

Last spring, Michael Turner made that call. His mother had died in her home in Gosnells, and now he was standing in a house full of her memories of the past forty years. Rooms were full of furniture. The shelves were full of items that hadn’t been used in years. He didn’t have a clue what to do.

At that point, he needed deceased estate house cleaning, but he also needed someone to go through the process with him, step by step, without haste.

He called JunkLift, and our trained staff arrived the following morning.

What Happens During a Deceased Estate House Clean

Deceased estate house cleaning involves much more than simply cleaning furniture. It’s a step-by-step procedure that involves the family throughout the entire process. This is how JunkLift performs each job:

• Walk-through and assessment: The team walks through the property, marking out any hazards, and makes a plan before touching anything.
• Sorting belongings: The team sorts everything into keep, donate, sell, or remove. No activity happens without family permission.
• Deceased estate cleanouts: The team scrubs kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and windows.
• Rubbish removal Perth-wide: The team collects old furniture, broken appliances, and green waste; all are loaded up the same day.
• Final presentation clean: The team leaves the property ready for sale, rent, or handover.

Michael saw the team remove his mom’s garage within 3 hours. Before lunch, all of that old furniture, boxes, and years of clutter were gone. He said that it was the first thing that made him feel comfortable since his mother passed away. 

Why Families Choose Professional Deceased Estate House Cleaning

Handling it by yourself may sound cost-efficient, but it is not time-efficient. It takes days to sort through a full house on your own, and grief makes all decisions a little more difficult than they would be. A professional deceased estate house cleaning Perth team takes that burden away.

• The Junklift team finishes most jobs within one or two days.
• Valued items don’t go to waste by accident.
• Waste is disposed of at licensed facilities, not illegally.
• The property is left in sale-ready condition.
• We give families more time to mourn.

How Michael’s Story Ended

On the second day, everything was done, and the house was empty, clean, and ready to go. JunkLift hauled away all of the old appliances and left the kitchen clean. The team scrubbed the bathrooms top to bottom. All windows were cleaned both outside and in. Michael kept a box of photos and his mother’s jewellery box. All other materials were responsibly donated, sold, or removed.

“I didn’t think it was going to move this fast. I just wanted it to be done correctly, and it was. The team asked before touching anything I might have wanted.”  

-Michael said.

The agent listed the Gosnells’ property four days later, and it sold within the month.
