Our work
Before & After
A recent clearance — cleared, loaded and disposed of responsibly.
Cathedral City Clearances
Waste Removal in Truro
Truro is a compact cathedral city where the three spires of Truro Cathedral rise above narrow lanes, Georgian terraces and the busy A390 into the centre. Clearances here mean tight access on Lemon Street and Boscawen Street, steep hills off Tregolls Road, and careful loading around Lemon Quay.
Lemon Quay Loading Care
We plan kerbside loading around Lemon Quay and the busy heart of Boscawen Street so shops and residents stay unblocked.
Georgian Terrace Clear-Outs
Lemon Street and Walsingham Place townhouses have steep stairs and tall rooms, so we carry furniture out carefully by hand.
Hill Access Off Tregolls
Steep roads such as Tregolls Road and Kenwyn Hill need smaller, well-planned vehicle stops for safe loading.
Renovation Rubble Removal
Period refurbishments around Lemon Street produce lath, plaster, old timber and slate that we sort and take away.

Truro's Housing Mix
From Georgian Terraces to Hillside Estates
Period Townhouses
Lemon Street and Walsingham Place have tall Georgian houses with steep stairs, where furniture often needs to be taken apart or carried by hand.
Listed City Buildings
Older properties around Boscawen Street and the streets near Truro Cathedral need extra care to protect original doors, floors and stonework.
Suburban Estates
Homes along Tregolls Road and around Kenwyn have driveways and gardens, so garden waste and full-house clearances are common here.
Modern Flats
Apartment blocks and conversions in the city centre and along Malpas Road often involve stairwells, shared entrances and limited parking.
Around Truro's River Valley
Kenwyn, Malpas and Beyond
Kenwyn
This hillside district just north of the city centre has family homes and gardens that generate regular green waste and house clearances.
Malpas
We collect from homes along the Truro River, where narrow lanes call for careful vehicle positioning.
Shortlanesend
Rural lanes north-west of Truro mean we plan routes carefully for farmhouse and cottage clearances.
Tresillian
This village on the A390 east of Truro is an easy run for us, and we clear homes and garden waste there.
Cathedral and Quay Heritage
A Stannary Town With a Cathedral Skyline
Truro Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, dominates the skyline, while Lemon Street's Georgian terraces and the Royal Cornwall Museum on River Street reflect the wealth of Cornwall's old tin-trading stannary town.
Truro Cathedral Skyline
Three Gothic Revival spires designed by John Loughborough Pearson shape the view from Victoria Gardens and the approaches down Kenwyn Street.
Lemon Street Georgian Frontages
Lemon Street's Georgian frontages, with their tall sash windows, are among the city's best-preserved streetscapes.
River Street Traffic Pinch
River Street and Back Quay funnel traffic past Hall for Cornwall, so choosing the right loading window matters.
Stannary Town Stonework
Truro's past as a Cornish stannary town explains the solid granite and slate found in many older properties.
Saturday farmers' markets at Lemon Quay and events such as the Christmas lights switch-on bring crowds and restricted access around the city centre. Book weekday or early-morning slots for city-centre jobs, and tell us if your street has permit parking.
