Sophie’s Hoarders House Clearance Service Belford
Client: Private Customer
Service: Hoarders House Clearance
Location: Belford, Northumberland
Duration: 5 Days
Team Size: 4 Professionals
Overview
At Sophie’s Cleaning Company, we recently undertook one of our most rewarding and transformative projects to date — a full hoarder’s house clearance in the picturesque village of Belford, Northumberland.
The client, a family member of the homeowner, contacted us with urgency and compassion. The home had become unmanageable due to years of hoarding behaviour, and they needed a discreet, respectful, and thorough team to bring the property back to a safe, livable condition.
Objectives
Clear and sort all hoarded items (some hazardous)
Identify and preserve personal or sentimental belongings
Deep clean and sanitise every room
Restore property to a safe and habitable condition
Maintain full discretion and compassion throughout
Initial Assessment
Before the job began, we carried out a free, non-judgmental site visit. The three-bedroom semi-detached home was heavily affected — with floor-to-ceiling clutter in some areas, strong odours, rodent activity, and significant structural strain due to blocked ventilation and damp.
Our team created a custom plan based on:
Health & Safety regulations
Client priorities
Item salvageability
Time constraints
The Process
Day 1: Planning & Health-Safe Entry
We suited up in full PPE (gloves, masks, and protective suits) and installed ventilation fans. We prioritised safe entry paths and began with the hallway and living room. Sharp objects, broken furniture, spoiled food, and pest waste were safely removed.
Day 2–3: Sorting & Discarding
We used a triage system:
Keep (personal items, documents, heirlooms)
Recycle (furniture, paper, metal)
Dispose (biohazards, spoiled items)
Each item was documented, and the client was involved in all major decisions.
Day 4: Deep Cleaning & Disinfection
Once cleared, we deep cleaned every room:
Steam-cleaned carpets
Mould removal from walls
Disinfected kitchen and bathroom areas
Treated odours with industrial ozone machine
Day 5: Final Touches & Client Walkthrough
We applied a neutralising freshener throughout the home, replaced light bulbs, and ensured every area was clean and safe. The client did a walkthrough and was moved to tears by the transformation.
Challenges
Emotional sensitivity: We worked closely with the client to ensure we preserved dignity at all times.
Pest control: Coordinated with a local pest removal service.
Waste management: Removed over 3 tonnes of waste with full compliance with local disposal laws.
✅ Results
Property restored to a safe and hygienic state
Client recovered family photos, jewellery, and important documents
Home is now ready for either occupancy or resale
Another family is breathing easier knowing their loved one is safe
