How a hoarder clearance works
1. A private conversation first
We talk through the property, the people involved and what success looks like — a full clearance, making one room usable, or creating safe access routes.
2. Agree what stays
Where the occupant is involved, they decide. We work at a pace they can manage and set aside anything to keep, check or pass on.
3. Clear in stages
Most hoarder clearances are done room by room over one or more visits, so progress is visible and nothing important is lost.
4. Sort responsibly
Belongings that can be reused or recycled are separated; only what's left goes for licensed disposal.
Who we work with
- People who want help clearing their own home
- Families supporting a relative
- Landlords and letting agents facing a tenancy breach or inspection
- Councils, housing associations and social or support workers
- Executors clearing a property after a death
Safety in hoarded properties
Heavily hoarded homes can have blocked exits, unstable piles, damp, mould or pests. We assess the risks before starting, plan safe routes through the property, and recommend specialist cleaning or pest control where it's needed, working alongside them so the property is ready for the next step.
If you find needles, human or animal waste, or anything you suspect is hazardous, mention it before the clearance so the right arrangements can be made.
Discretion
Hoarding is personal. We keep conversations confidential, don't publicise jobs, and can schedule work at quieter times — including evenings and weekends, as we operate 24/7.
How hoarder clearance is priced
Every job is priced on what's actually involved: the volume of waste, the types of item (some, like sofas, fridges and plasterboard, cost more to dispose of correctly) and how easy it is to carry out. You get a quote before any work starts. Read more on our pricing page.
Hoarder House Clearance: frequently asked questions
Does the person living there have to agree?
Wherever possible, yes. Clearances go best when the occupant is involved and decides what stays. Where a landlord, council or court is involved, we follow the instructions of whoever has legal authority over the property.
How long does a hoarder clearance take?
It depends on the size of the property and how full it is. A single room may take a few hours; a whole house can take several days, often spread over separate visits.
Do you also deep clean the property?
We clear and sweep. Where a specialist deep clean, sanitisation or pest control is needed, we'll say so and can coordinate with those specialists.
Will you go through everything or just throw it away?
We sort as we go. Documents, photographs, cash, jewellery and anything that looks personal are set aside rather than cleared.
