About Torbay Clearance Services

Torbay Clearance Services is a team-based property clearance business based in Paignton. It clears houses, flats and commercial properties, with specialist services in hoarded properties, complex clearances, probate valuations, property safeguarding and asset recovery. The business also offers jewellery consultancy, auction services, charitable donation and recycling.

The team handles hoarded properties, collections of single items, high-risk properties including severe hygiene conditions, drug-use clearances, contentious estates, properties with difficult access and extremely large properties. Work begins with a visit to view the contents and discuss the client's needs. The team retains and documents items required by family members or professional clients, including financial paperwork, deeds, account details, bonds, shares and physical cash. Jewellery is retained, documented and valued in house if required. Photographs and items of family sentimental value are also kept, and the business aims to locate items requested.

Torbay Clearance Services covers Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and beyond. The business has traded since 1999 and works with solicitors, court of protection professionals, probate research companies, estate agents and NHS and Devon County Council clients. Recent complex clearances include a flat full of football programmes, properties with unopened mail order purchases, a property with previous drug use, and a contentious estate where every item was documented. The team has a combined service of 85 years.
