Thrilled to remove dirt accommodating the man downstairs (4)

I believe the answer is:

hell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'thrilled to remove dirt accommodating' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'man downstairs' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'downstairs' becomes 'll' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'he'+'ll'='HELL'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hell that I've seen before include "Nether world" , "Hades, the netherworld" , "Underworld" , "uproar" , "Gehenna" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
