House Clearance in Mevagissey
Emptying a property in Mevagissey takes a specific kind of care. Narrow alleys, steep steps from the harbour, and tight corners are just part of the daily routine here. Whether it is a family home, a harbourside flat, or a probate estate, we handle the entire process from the first box to the final sweep. Call 01726 123456 to book a survey.

Why Choose Us for Your Clearance?
We are not a national franchise. We are a local team that knows the difference between a modern bungalow in Pentewan and a 300-year-old fisherman's cottage near the harbour. That local knowledge saves time and prevents damage to your property.
- Full waste carrier licence: We can legally transport and dispose of your items. You will receive a waste transfer note as proof of legal disposal.
- Public liability insurance: If we accidentally damage a wall or a stair rail while carrying furniture, you are covered. We treat your property with respect.
- Careful sorting: We look for documents, photographs, jewellery, and sentimental items before anything goes into the van. We ring you before removing anything personal.
- Recycling first: Usable furniture and appliances are donated to local charities or recycled wherever possible, reducing the amount that goes to landfill.
- No hidden fees: The price we agree on the day of the survey is the price you pay, unless the scope of the job changes at your request.
Our Clearance Services
Full Property Clearance
Every room, the loft, the garage, the shed, and the garden. We empty it all and sweep up afterwards.
Partial Clearance
One room, one floor, or just the outbuildings. Perfect if you are downsizing or preparing a room for renovation.

Handled quietly, room by room, with full respect for the family. We check for wills, deeds, and personal items.
Hoarder Clearance
Patient, non-judgmental work. We take the time to sort through accumulated items safely and discreetly.
End-of-Tenancy
Fast turnaround for landlords and letting agents. We clear the property and sweep it ready for the next inventory check.
What We Can and Cannot Take
We take: Furniture, beds, sofas, wardrobes, white goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines), garden tools, pots, clothing, books, kitchenware, carpets, and general household clutter.
We cannot take: Asbestos, oil, fuel, chemicals, clinical waste, or liquid paint. These require specialist disposal routes that we are not licensed for. If you are unsure about an item, ask us during the survey.

What Happens to Your Items?
We know that clearing a house isn't just about waste; it's about memories. We treat your belongings with respect. When we sort through the items, we look for anything that can be donated or reused.
Clothing, furniture, and kitchenware in good condition are offered to local charities and community projects in Mevagissey and St Austell. Metals and electricals go to recycling. The rest is taken to a licensed waste transfer station. We provide a waste transfer note so you can be confident it was disposed of legally.
Local Access Notes
Mevagissey has its own challenges. We plan for them.
- Harbour and Fore Street: Limited parking and narrow pavements. We use smaller vans and carry items to a designated loading spot.
- Steep steps and hills: Many properties sit above the harbour. We bring trolleys and extra straps to move heavy items safely.
- Narrow lanes: Around the old town, some alleys are too tight for a Luton van. We assess this at the survey stage and may use a shuttle van.
Case Studies
The Fisherman's Cottage
We were called to a three-bedroom cottage near the harbour. The property had been in the family for 60 years and was packed with furniture, tools, and personal items. The access was a narrow flight of steps with no parking at the bottom.
We arranged a parking bay nearby, used two smaller vans instead of one large one, and worked through the property room by room. We found a box of family photographs and a tin of old coins in the loft, which we set aside for the family. The clearance took two full days. The family got the property back, clean and empty, ready to sell.
The Probate Flat
A family contacted us after their father passed away in Gorran Haven. The flat was full of furniture and paperwork. We arranged a quiet, respectful clearance over three days. We carefully sorted through the paperwork to find the deeds to the property and a will, which we handed to the solicitor. The rest of the items were cleared and the flat was swept clean, allowing the family to put it on the market without stress.
Before and After
A recent full property clearance in the village. Cleared and swept in a single day.
What our customers say
"They cleared my mother's house in Mevagissey with real care. They found her wedding ring in a drawer and rang me straight away. I couldn't have asked for a more respectful service."
"Fast, tidy, and very reasonably priced. We had a narrow lane to deal with, but they brought the right van and got it done without any fuss."
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the clearance take?
A single room takes a couple of hours. A three-bedroom house usually takes a full day. A hoarder property could take two or three days depending on the volume.
Do I need to be there?
You can be, but you don't have to be. Many clients give us a key or arrange access with a neighbour or estate agent.
What happens to my stuff?
We recycle metals, cardboard, and electricals. Usable furniture is donated. The rest goes to a licensed waste facility. We provide a waste transfer note as proof.
Do you clear the loft and garage?
Yes. A full clearance includes the loft, garage, shed, and garden. We don't leave anything behind.
What if I want to keep something?
Tell us before we start. We will set it aside and leave it untouched. We can also pack and deliver items if requested.
Can you clean the property after you clear it?
We sweep the property as standard. If you need a deep clean, we can arrange that for an extra fee.
