What hoarder clearance means
Hoarder clearance is the phased, sorted clearance of a property where possessions have accumulated to the point of blocking rooms or access, carried out with sorting, deep-clean preparation and licensed disposal rather than a straight strip-out.
Hoarding clearance is not a bigger house clearance. Floors are covered, doors will not open fully, and there is almost always something valuable buried in the middle of it — bank letters, jewellery, photographs, a will. Rushing it loses those things for good, so we work in layers rather than shovelling.
Crews arrive in a plain van, park sensibly and keep the pavement clear so neighbours are not given a show. We agree beforehand what gets checked and set aside, and everything we find that matters gets bagged and handed to you or the executor. Where there is contamination — rotten food, animal waste, sharps — we use PPE and the right waste routes, and we can leave the property ready for a specialist deep clean.
