Our approach to hoarder clearance

🤝 Respect and consent

We move at the pace you are comfortable with. Items to keep are labelled and placed aside. Photographs or lists can be produced for decision making.

🧰 Safe working

Risk assessed entry, PPE, floor and doorway protection. We clear walkways first, then tackle rooms in a planned sequence.

🔐 Sensitive finds

Documents, photos, jewellery and keepsakes are set aside. Data bearing devices can be held securely for wiping or disposal.

🧹 Clean finish options

Standard sweep and tidy as default. Optional deep clean, odour treatment and garden tidy if required.

What we clear in hoarded properties

  • Black bag waste, packaging, mixed household rubbish and food waste
  • Clothing, bedding, soft furnishings and general clutter from all rooms
  • Furniture, white goods, small electricals and broken items
  • Loft, cellar, shed and garage contents, including long stored items
  • Green waste from overgrown gardens and external areas

Items that are clean and usable can be donated locally with your approval. We provide receipts where charities issue them.

Items requiring specialist handling

Some properties contain materials that need specialist services. Tell us at booking and we will advise safe routes and pricing.

  • Asbestos, significant medical waste or bulk construction rubble
  • Fuel, gas bottles, chemicals and solvent paints
  • Sharps and biohazard remediation beyond standard PPE

“ North Somerset Clearance were brilliant from start to finish. We had an entire floor of office furniture, desks, chairs, filing cabinets and various electronics that needed to be removed as our company switched to home working. The team turned up on time, worked quickly without disrupting the rest of the building, and left the space spotless. Everything was handled professionally, and they even arranged for recycling where possible. Couldn’t recommend them enough, they made what could have been a stressful day completely hassle-free.”

Case study: two bedroom flat in Weston super Mare

A private landlord requested hoarder clearance after a long tenancy. Access was via a first floor stairwell. We completed a same week survey, agreed a staged plan and allocated a three person team. Walkways were made safe on day one. Kitchen and lounge were cleared and the white goods isolated. Day two covered bedrooms, loft hatch area and the balcony. The property was swept and photographed for the landlord and the Duty of Care paperwork issued. A separate deep clean and odour treatment were arranged for the following day.
