House Clearance Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe is a North Devon harbour town with a steep topography and a good stock of Victorian properties that date from its time as a fashionable seaside resort. The streets above the harbour are narrow and the houses substantial, which means clearances here often require some planning around vehicle access. The town has a number of holiday properties alongside permanent residential housing, and clearances arise from both. The surrounding villages of Berrynarbor, Combe Martin, and the coastal road east towards Lynton also produce work, often from older rural properties with outbuildings that have accumulated considerable contents over the years.

Areas we cover in and around Ilfracombe: Berrynarbor, Combe Martin, Lee Bay, Mortehoe, Woolacombe, Braunton.

House clearance in Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe is on the far North Devon coast, so we plan jobs here carefully and aim to complete them in as few trips as possible. Travel is always included in the written quote.

The town has a lot of Victorian terraces, guest houses and holiday properties on steep streets, which means plenty of stairs and limited parking. Guest houses and holiday lets often hold multiple sets of beds, furniture and linen, much of which can be resold or donated, bringing your cost down.

If you are clearing a property from a distance, we can collect keys from an agent or neighbour and keep you updated while the work is done. The property is left empty and swept, ready for sale, letting or renovation.

Why our clearances often cost less

Items of value recovered during a clearance (furniture, antiques, collectables, quality household goods) are passed back as a reduction in your clearance cost. In some cases, particularly where a property contains items of real worth, the clearance costs nothing at all.

We are based in Hayle, West Cornwall, and travel to Ilfracombe regularly. Travel is factored into our quote and never added afterwards.

What happens to the contents

On average, we save around two-thirds of everything we clear from landfill on each clearance. Furniture, books, clothing, and household goods in reasonable condition are taken to our own resale channels or donated to local charities. What cannot be reused or donated is disposed of through registered facilities. We are happy to tell families exactly what happened to belongings.
