Background
Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a local support worker in Amble who was assisting an elderly man facing eviction due to unsafe living conditions. The property had not been cleaned in over a decade and had become dangerously cluttered with newspapers, rubbish, expired food, and broken furniture.
With no family able to assist and the tenant now in temporary housing, the goal was to make the flat safe and hygienic again so it could be inspected by housing officers and deemed habitable.

Severe odours from rotting food, damp, and pest infestation
