2/3

of everything we clear is saved from landfill

Most of what we take away is reused, donated, or recycled rather than sent to a skip. A real figure from our own jobs.

Penzance is the westernmost major town in mainland Britain, and its position at the end of the line gives it a distinct character: independent, slightly apart, and full of older properties that have been accumulating contents for a very long time. Chapel Street is one of the most architecturally significant streets in Cornwall, lined with Georgian townhouses that regularly need clearing as estates are wound up or properties change hands. The town also has a substantial working residential population in the Heamoor and Gulval areas, and clearances here range from modest terraces to substantial granite houses with decades of history behind them.

Areas we cover in and around Penzance: Chapel Street, Heamoor, Mount's Bay Road, Newlyn, Gulval, Marazion, Mousehole, St Just.

House clearance in Penzance

Penzance is just down the road from our Hayle base, so we are in the town and around Mount's Bay all the time. Penzance customers have told us our team was super friendly and helpful clearing a small house, and very compassionate during a bereavement clearance. That mix of hard work and care is what most families need from a clearance.

Further west, we also take on the hardest jobs. In St Just we carried out a hoarder house clean where years of severe hoarding had left every room in a state of neglect, working carefully through the property and leaving it safe and clean again.

Many Penzance properties are older terraces and granite cottages with narrow stairs and limited parking, so we plan each job before we arrive. Anything with resale value is 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 Penzance 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.

Hoarder House Clean St Just, Cornwall

St Just

St Just is one of Cornwall's most characterful towns, a former mining community perched on the far western tip of the peninsula, full of granite cottages and strong community spirit. This property told a different story: years of severe hoarding had left every room in a state of significant neglect, with heavy mould growth, decades of accumulated debris and a bathroom, kitchen and staircase that had become completely unliveable. Our team carried out a full hoarder house clean at this St Just property, working room by room through the build-up to clear, clean and restore the space. The bathroom, caked in grime with a heavily soiled bath, toilet and sink, was one of the most striking transformations of the job. What had been unusable is now clean and functional again. Other rooms told the same story. A bedroom coated floor-to-ceiling in black mould, a kitchen covered in filth with rubbish scattered across the floor, a damp and decaying staircase, all cleared and brought back to a habitable standard. The property's character was there throughout: original floorboards, granite stone walls, timber joinery and a beautiful arched window that had been hidden beneath years of neglect. Hoarder cleans require sensitivity, practicality and the right team. We approach every job without judgement, working efficiently to clear the property while making sure everything is disposed of responsibly, salvageable items separated for donation or reuse, waste taken to a licensed facility.

Garden Clearance Higher Drift, Cornwall

Higher Drift

This large garden clearance in Higher Drift, near Penzance, was one of our most rewarding transformations of the year. Decades of overgrowth had left the outdoor space completely unusable, brambles several feet thick, self-seeded trees pushing through borders, collapsed fencing hidden beneath vegetation, and piles of garden waste accumulated across every corner. Our crew spent a full day on site using a combination of hand tools and powered equipment to cut back, dig out and load everything into our vehicles. We cleared brambles, ivy, shrub overgrowth, rotting timber, broken pots and general garden debris, exposing the original structure of the garden and giving the client a blank canvas to work from. All green waste was taken to a licensed composting and recycling facility. Nothing was burned on site and no waste was left behind. The client was astonished at how quickly the space opened up. Garden clearances like this one are our speciality. Whether you've inherited an overgrown plot, are preparing to sell a property, or simply want to reclaim your outdoor space, Lanora House can clear it efficiently and affordably anywhere in West Cornwall.
