House Clearance Truro
Professional house clearance in Truro, Cornwall. Free no-obligation quotes from Lanora House, based in Hayle, West Cornwall.
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.
Truro is Cornwall's only city and its administrative and legal centre, which means a significant proportion of clearances here arise through probate, often coordinated with solicitors on Lemon Street or Victoria Square. The housing stock ranges from Georgian townhouses in the Cathedral Quarter to Victorian terraces in the Malpas and Kenwyn areas, many of which have been in the same family for generations and contain substantial contents. As the county's main city, Truro also generates more commercial clearances than most Cornish towns when offices, retail units, or professional premises change hands.
Areas we cover in and around Truro: Cathedral Quarter, Lemon Street, Malpas, Kenwyn, Highertown, Threemilestone, Shortlanesend, Perranarworthal.
House clearance in Truro
We can come and see a property in Truro within 24 hours of your call, at a time that suits you. We walk the property with you and give you a written price on the spot.
Many Truro clearances come to us through probate. If a solicitor in the city is handling the estate, we can deal with them directly, arrange access through them, and provide written confirmation of the clearance for the estate file.
A house that has been in one family for generations fills up accordingly, and most of it is in the loft, the cellar or the outbuildings. We look at all of it at the visit, and the price we quote does not go up.
We also clear offices, shops and professional premises in Truro when they close or change hands, and can work outside opening hours where a business needs to keep trading.
Recent jobs around Truro show the range. In Perranarworthal we cleared a whole house plus the loft, garage and garden store, then blanket wrapped the furniture the family wanted to keep and delivered it to their new home in Devon as part of the same job. In Mount Hawke we cleared a house that turned out to hold an extraordinary egg cup collection, which we sorted and sold rather than binned. And for one Truro homeowner we cleared, cleaned and freshened up a house so it was photo ready for the estate agents on a tight turnaround.
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 Truro 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.

How it works
Call or email to arrange a free visit. We walk the property with you, confirm what is to be cleared, and give you a written quote on the spot. There is no pressure to proceed, and no charge for the visit. If you want to go ahead, we agree a date that suits you and our team does the rest.
Clearing homes in Cornwall's only city
Truro grew up where the Allen and Kenwyn rivers meet, and its cathedral, finished in 1910, still sets the skyline. Around Boscawen Street and River Street the centre keeps much of its Georgian character, and the city spreads out from there to Highertown, Threemilestone and up the river to Malpas.
You do not need to be there on the day. Many clients, especially family clearing a parent's home from further away, give us access and leave us to it, and we tell you afterwards what went to resale, to charity and to recycling.

Full House Clearance
Perranarworthal
Full house clearance in Perranarworthal, near Truro, including the loft, the garage and the garden store as well as the house itself. The kitchen and dining area was the bulk of it. Under the table, the rugs and the boxes there was a bare subfloor, and the fitted units stayed where they were. A clearance empties a property, it does not strip it, so anything fitted stays unless you specifically ask us to take it out. Everything was sorted on site as we loaded, into items for reuse, materials for recycling and the smaller share that needed licensed disposal. Outbuildings are where the surprise volume lives on a job like this, and pricing the loft, the garage and the garden store at the quote stage rather than on the day is the difference between a firm price and a revised one. The part worth mentioning is what did not go in the van with the rest. The family wanted to keep several pieces of furniture, so rather than leaving them to arrange a separate removal, we blanket wrapped them the way a removals firm would, loaded them separately and delivered them to an address in Devon as part of the same job. That saved the customer a second booking and a second day. The property was left swept clean and ready for handover. If you need a clearance near Truro, Falmouth or Perranarworthal that takes in the outbuildings as well as the house, call for a free no-obligation visit and a written price.

What our customers say
We are so very pleased with all the effort Matthew and his hard working team put into both our jobs. He called me to discuss the jobs, and quickly arranged convenient dates and times. The first job was a house clearance, a massive job - completed thoroughly and swiftly. The second job was moving some bulky and delicate furniture across the country, again completed swiftly, carefully, and without issue. Definitely recommend.
Delighted with the work carried by Lenora House very thorough and left the property clean and tidy.
Quick turn around! Brenna and Matt ensured my house was photo ready for the estate agents. Waste clear out, painting and a deep clean.
