House Clearance Tavistock

Tavistock is a West Devon market town on the western edge of Dartmoor, roughly twenty miles north of Plymouth. The town was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century by the Dukes of Bedford after the copper mining boom, and much of the architecture is solid Victorian stone. Many properties in the older parts of town have been in the same families for a long time. The surrounding moorland parishes of Brentor, Chillaton, and the Tamar valley also produce clearance work, often from farms and rural cottages with considerable accumulated contents. Tavistock is about ninety minutes from our base in Hayle, and we cover it regularly as part of our West Devon area.

Areas we cover in and around Tavistock: Brentor, Chillaton, Lydford, Gunnislake, Calstock, Horrabridge, Mary Tavy, the Tamar valley.

House clearance in Tavistock

Tavistock and the Tamar valley sit right on the Cornwall and Devon border, a natural part of the area we cover. Clearances here are often older family homes in the town and cottages, farmhouses and smallholdings in the surrounding villages, many with barns, sheds and outbuildings that have filled up over the years.

We price everything at the visit, including outbuildings, so the quote stays firm on the day. Agricultural tools, furniture and household items in good condition are resold or donated wherever possible, and that value comes off your clearance cost.

Tavistock is a longer trip from our Hayle base, so we plan each job to finish in as few visits as possible, and travel is included in the written quote.

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 Tavistock 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.
