House Clearance Along the North Devon Coast
Some are five minutes apart; some are half an hour up a single-track lane. We know them all — where to park, when the roads close, and which properties need a smaller van.
The villages we serve
Each has its own character. Here's how we think about each one.
Ilfracombe
Our home patch. Harbour, town, and every residential street in between.
Woolacombe
Holiday-let central. Summer changeovers and end-of-season clearouts are our busiest weeks here.
Combe Martin
Long village, steep hill. Small van access for some properties; we plan accordingly.
Berrynarbor
Quiet, mostly residential. Bungalows and older cottages.
Georgeham
Inland, rural. Farm buildings and larger gardens to plan for.
Croyde
Holiday village. Second homes and rental properties cleared all year round.
Mortehoe
Clifftop. Long narrow lanes. We bring the right size van.
Lee
Small and quiet. Mostly single-property jobs.
Things we've learned working this coast
- Summer traffic. Between June and September, a job that takes two hours in winter can take three. We plan around it and don't charge you the difference.
- Salt air. Fixtures and fittings along the front are seized more often than not. We come prepared to dismantle rather than force.
- Narrow lanes inland. Georgeham and Mortehoe have single-track access. A full-size van sometimes can't get there — we use a smaller one.
- Damp. Older properties along the coast often have damp issues. Soft furnishings and paperwork get handled carefully because they may be fragile.
- Holiday letting. Saturday is changeover day almost everywhere. If we're clearing a let, we work around the booking calendar, not against it.
