Our Bude Clearance Services
House Clearance in Bude
We clear whole houses, flats, bungalows and single rooms, including furniture, appliances, carpets, clothing and general contents. Good items are set aside for reuse or donation where possible. The rest is sorted for recycling or taken to authorised sites. Most small clearances can be completed in a single visit.
Garage Clearance in Bude
Garages, sheds, lofts and outbuildings fill up with old tools, paint tins, timber, bikes and boxes. We clear them out, separate recyclable material, and leave the space swept and ready to use. If your garage contains items that need specialist disposal, tell us when you book so we can plan correctly.
Probate Clearance in Bude
Clearing a property after a bereavement is difficult enough without the practical work. We handle probate clearances with care and discretion, and we can work to the timeline set by executors and solicitors. We set valuables, papers and personal items aside for the family, and can provide an itemised record of the work and a receipt for the waste taken away. Please speak to your solicitor about when clearance can begin.
Garden Clearance in Bude
We clear green waste, hedge and tree trimmings, old fencing, soil, turf and overgrown borders. We also take away sheds, garden furniture and general garden debris. Cornwall Council's garden waste service covers regular bin collections only, so a one-off clear-out is where we help most.
Rubbish Removal in Bude
For smaller jobs, we take away household rubbish by the van load, including old furniture, mattresses, appliances, bags of waste and builders' leftovers from small jobs. You pay for the space your waste takes up in the van, not for the hour.
Clearing Across Bude: Local Access, Parking and Disposal
Getting to Your Property
Bude has no motorway. Access is by the A39 Atlantic Highway, which runs along the north Cornwall coast, and the A3072 Stratton Road, which links the town to the Devon border. The A39 and A3072 meet at Stratton, a junction that can back up at busy times, and we plan collection times to avoid peak traffic wherever we can. Allow extra time in school holidays and summer, when visitor traffic fills the roads into town. There is no low-emission or clean air zone in Bude, so there are no zone charges on your clearance.
Parking and Loading
Our van needs to park close to the front door to keep the job quick and safe. In the older streets near the town centre and canal, space is tight, so tell us about parking when you book. Cornwall Council runs the main car parks at The Crescent, Summerleaze, Crooklets and The Wharf, and there is no overnight parking in its car parks. Bude-Stratton Town Council runs the Parkhouse Centre car park, where parking rules are enforced by Cornwall Council from 1 August 2026. Cornwall Council has also been introducing yellow lines and residents' parking schemes in Bude. If your street has permit parking or limited waiting, let us know so we can arrange a loading spot or a suitable time.
Where Your Waste Goes
Bude's Household Waste and Recycling Centre is on the Kilkhampton Road side of town. It is run for householders, and visitors now need to book a time slot. A licensed clearance van cannot treat it as a drop-off point, so we use authorised waste facilities instead and recycle as much as we can. You do not need to book tip slots, load your own car or make multiple trips.
Licensed, Insured and Legally Compliant
Under the Household Waste Duty of Care Regulations 2005, householders must make sure their waste is taken by a registered carrier. Giving your rubbish to an unlicensed carrier can lead to fines if the waste is dumped. We are a registered waste carrier with the Environment Agency. You can check our licence on the Environment Agency public register. We also provide a receipt for every job.
Tip: ask any clearance firm for its waste carrier number before you book. If it will not give one, do not use it.
