Typical prices along the coast

Real numbers, from real jobs. Every property's different — access, volume, distance from the road — so these are starting points, not quotes.

Before and after

Coastal properties — things to expect

North Devon homes have their own way of doing things. It's worth knowing in advance:

• Salt air attacks metal over time. Locks, hinges, and window fittings can be seized. We don't force them.
• Damp in older properties means soft furnishings and paperwork may be fragile. We handle them like they might fall apart — because sometimes they do.
• Harbour-side access means tight stairwells and no parking. It costs more in time, but we don't charge parking fines to the customer.
• Holiday lets often have commercial-grade furniture and equipment that a normal tip won't accept. We know where it goes.

Things people ask us

Are you insured?

Yes — public liability and waste carrier licence. Certificates sent on request before any job starts.

Do you handle bereavement clearances?

Often. We work quietly, check for documents and personal items before anything is removed, and give you time if you need it.

Can I be there while you work?

Absolutely. Some customers are; some prefer to leave keys and let us get on with it. Both are fine.

What if I'm not sure about something in the loft?

We'll bring it down and let you look before we load it. No decisions get made without you if you want a say.

Do you clean the property afterwards?

We sweep. Full deep-clean is available on request at extra cost.

How long does a clearance take?

One room — a couple of hours. Three-bedroom house — most of a day. Larger or heavily cluttered properties might run to two days; we'll tell you when we quote.
