-
What is a professional hoarding clean up?A professional hoarding clean up involves carefully sorting accumulated belongings, removing unwanted items and waste, addressing potential biohazards, and thoroughly cleaning and sanitising the property. The aim is to create a safer, cleaner and more manageable living environment while treating the individual and their belongings with respect.
-
When should I contact a professional hoarding clean up company?Professional assistance may be needed when accumulated belongings restrict access to rooms, doors, windows, utilities or emergency exits. You should also consider specialist help when the property contains bodily fluids, human or animal waste, mould, spoiled food, needles, pest activity, strong odours or other potentially hazardous materials.
-
Do you remove everything from the property?No. A hoarding clean up does not automatically mean throwing everything away. Wherever possible, our team works with the client or authorised representative to identify important documents, photographs, sentimental possessions and valuable items before anything is removed.
-
Can the resident be involved in the sorting process?Yes. We understand that making decisions about personal belongings can be difficult. The resident can remain involved in the sorting process where it is safe and practical to do so. We can also work with family members, social workers, housing officers or other authorised representatives.

Are your hoarding clean up services discreet and confidential?Yes. We treat all enquiries and projects confidentially. Our team understands the importance of protecting the privacy and dignity of the resident throughout the assessment, clearance and cleaning process.
