We sort what's kept, what's donated, what's recycled and what's disposed of — and we manage the entire physical process, including waste removal under the proper licences. ### Who it's for Family members organising clearance for a relative, executors managing an estate, landlords recovering a property, social workers, environmental health teams, and individuals quietly arranging help for themselves. Every situation is handled in confidence. ### When to book Often arranged at a transition point — bereavement, hospital admission, move to assisted living, or when the property has reached a point where day-to-day living is difficult. There is no 'too late' — we've cleared properties at every stage of severity. ### Why professional matters Clearing a hoarded property without specialist help is overwhelming, sometimes physically dangerous (collapsed piles, infestations, biohazards), and risks discarding genuinely important items in the rush. A specialist team works methodically, slowly enough to find what matters and quickly enough to make real progress. The cost of getting it wrong ## What untreated hoarding situations escalate to Hoarded properties left unaddressed deteriorate steadily — structural damage from weight, vermin infestations, damp, electrical risks (blocked vents, covered sockets), and ultimately enforcement action from the local authority. The earlier specialist help is involved, the more recoverable the property and the more dignified the process for the person living there. ### Common mistakes we see - !Family members trying to clear in a single weekend, leading to arguments and important items thrown away - !Renting a skip and dumping without sorting — losing documents, photographs, jewellery and sentimental items mixed in - !Skipping protective equipment in properties with vermin, bird waste or sharps - !Disposing of waste informally and incurring fly-tipping liability - !Treating the situation as a one-off clean rather than a phased clearance with the resident's involvement where possible Our process ## A clear, repeatable system — start to guarantee. - 01 ### Confidential consultation A private call or visit to understand the situation, the property and any sensitivities. No pressure, no judgement. - 02 ### Plan & quote We agree a phased clearance plan — what's kept, donated, recycled and disposed of — and quote a fixed price. - 03 ### Methodical clearance Working room by room or zone by zone, sorting carefully and removing waste under proper licences. - 04 ### Deep clean Once cleared, the property is deep-cleaned to make it safe and habitable again — see our hoarder cleaning service. - 05 ### Handover Final walk-through with you, documents and kept items returned, certificates of disposal provided where required. The benefits ## What you actually get when you book us. ### Discreet and confidential Unmarked vehicles, plain uniforms, no signage. Neighbours don't need to know what's happening. ### Compassionate handling Calm, non-judgemental teams who treat the resident and the situation with respect. ### Sensitive sorting We look for documents, photographs and valuables before disposal — not after. ### Licensed waste handling Disposal handled correctly with waste-carrier licences, removing fly-tipping risk to you. ### Phased option Where appropriate, we work in phases over multiple visits so the resident can stay involved. ### End-to-end service Clearance, deep clean and (where needed) decoration referrals from a single contact. In detail ## How specialist hoarder clearance actually works These are sensitive situations. The right approach mixes practical efficiency with respect for the person and what they've kept. Below is how we typically work across Bristol clearances. ### Risk assessment first Before any clearance begins, we assess for biohazards (vermin, sharps, decomposed organic matter), structural risk (collapsed piles, blocked exits), electrical risk (covered outlets, unsafe wiring) and pest infestations. Some situations need pest control or environmental health input before clearance can proceed safely. ### The 4-bin sort method Every item passes through a sort: keep, donate, recycle, dispose. The keep pile is checked with the family or resident before disposal of anything else. This is slower than dump-everything skip clearance but it's why we don't lose important items. ### Documents, photographs and valuables These are the items most often lost in informal clearances. We prioritise finding paperwork (passports, bank cards, deeds, financial records), photographs, jewellery and sentimental items, and consolidate them in a clearly labelled box for the family. ### Working with the resident Where the person living in the property is involved and able to engage, we work at a pace they can manage. Forcing the process rarely works long-term. Where the person is not present (estate clearance, hospital admission), we rely on family direction. ### Waste licensing and disposal We hold the relevant waste-carrier licences and use licensed disposal sites. You receive disposal documentation. This protects you from fly-tipping liability that comes with cash-in-hand 'man with a van' clearance. ### Bereavement and probate clearances Estate clearances are often time-pressured (probate sale deadlines) and emotionally heavy for the family. We can lead the entire process, with regular updates, so the family doesn't have to be on site through every day of the work. FAQs ## Straight answers, no small print. Still unsure? Call 07840 257804. Is the service confidential?+Yes. Unmarked vehicles, plain uniforms, no signage on site, and no discussion of the situation with neighbours. Everything stays between you, the resident and our team. Will you judge the situation?+No. We've cleared properties at every level of severity. Our role is practical and respectful — not opinion. How is it priced?+Fixed price per project after an initial consultation. Pricing reflects volume, access, hazards and time, not 'who looks like they can pay'. Do you find and return important items?+Yes — documents, photographs, jewellery and sentimental items are sorted out and returned. This is the main reason to use specialists rather than skip-only clearance. Can you handle vermin or biohazards?+We can assess and, where needed, co-ordinate with pest control and biohazard specialists before clearance. We do not work in unsafe conditions but we know how to make them safe. How long does a clearance take?+From a single day for a small flat to several weeks for severe cases or phased clearances. We'll give you a realistic timescale at consultation. Can you also clean the property afterwards?+Yes — see our hoarder cleaning service. Most clients book both as a single end-to-end project. Do you take payment from estates or solicitors?+Yes, we invoice estates and solicitors directly where appropriate. Is the resident expected to be there?+Only if you want them to be. Many clearances run with family or executors only, especially in estate or post-admission situations. How do I start?+Call 07840 257804 in confidence, or use the quote form on this page.
