House Clearance Launceston

Launceston sits on the Devon border and was historically the fortified gateway into Cornwall. The castle that dominates the town centre has watched over the county's eastern approaches for nine centuries. Properties here tend to be older and more substantial than in the west of Cornwall, with a mix of stone-built town houses around the castle and the market, and farms and rural properties in the surrounding parishes of North Petherwin and South Petherwin. We cover clearances on both sides of the Tamar here, and Launceston's position means it is also a sensible base from which to reach properties deep in the Cornish interior that might otherwise be awkward to access.

Areas we cover in and around Launceston: Castle area, St Stephens, Newport, North Petherwin, Lewannick, Polyphant, the Tamar valley.

House clearance in Launceston

Launceston sits right on the border with Devon, so our work here covers both sides of the Tamar. Clearances in the town are often older family homes with years of contents, and out in the surrounding farmland they can include barns, sheds and outbuildings as well as the house.

One Launceston customer told us our team worked non stop to get the job done and were kind and respectful throughout. That is what we aim for on every clearance, and it matters most when a family is clearing a parent's home.

Because Launceston is a longer trip from our Hayle base, we plan each job to finish in as few visits as possible, and travel is always included in the written quote. Furniture and household items with resale value are taken off your cost.

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 Launceston 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.
