Where is Empire based?

Empire Clearance & Cleaning is based in Camborne, Cornwall. Published coverage includes Newquay, Newlyn, Penzance and Padstow. Send your postcode to confirm the arrangements for your job.

How do I get a quote?

Use the contact form, call Treve on 07597 231595 or Kyle on 07598 702144, or message Treve on WhatsApp. Include the waste or task, amount, location and access details.

Do you offer collections seven days a week?

The business is listed as available seven days. Contact the team to agree a date and time; that does not mean 24-hour or immediate collections.

Do you take asbestos?

No asbestos-removal service is advertised here. Do not disturb suspected asbestos. Seek specialist advice and explain the situation before any collection is discussed.

House clearance

How much does a house clearance cost in Cornwall?

The amount and type of contents, loading access and disposal requirements all affect the quote. Empire prices the actual job; send photos and your postcode for a free quote rather than relying on a generic price per bedroom.

Can I book a partial house clearance?

Yes. Tell us which rooms or items need clearing and which belongings must remain.

Do I need to be at the property?

Discuss access and who will authorise removal when you book. Do not assume an unattended collection is agreed until the team confirms it.

Rubbish removal

Can you collect black bags of rubbish?

General bagged household waste is part of our service. Tell us what is in the bags and mention any material that needs separate handling.

Do you offer same-day rubbish collection?

Call to check the current diary. We do not promise a same-day slot before confirming the job, location and availability.

Can you take everything in one mixed load?

Garage, loft & shed clearance

Can you clear a garage without clearing the whole house?

Yes. A garage, loft or shed contents clearance can be requested on its own.

Can you take old paint or chemicals from my garage?

Ask before booking. Keep containers separate and describe their contents; these are not ordinary mixed household waste.

Does shed clearance include demolition?

Do not assume it does. Tell us separately if you want the shed structure assessed as well as its contents.

Garden waste clearance

Can you take fencing with garden waste?

Old fencing and garden clearances are listed services. Tell us about timber, posts and concrete separately from green cuttings.

Is soil the same as green waste?

No. Soil and turf are much heavier than leaves or hedge cuttings. Describe the material and approximate amount when you request a quote.

Do you cut down trees?

This page covers collection of waste. Do not assume tree work is included; arrange any specialist tree work separately.
