Sophie’s Hoarders House Clearance Service Choppington
Location: Choppington, Northumberland
Property Type: Mid-terrace 3-bedroom house
Client: Adult Social Services referral
Service Provided: Full Hoarder House Clearance + Deep Cleaning + Hazard Removal
Duration: 5 working days
Team Size: 4 trained professionals
Overview
In June 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was referred by Adult Social Services to assist with a severely hoarded property in Choppington, Northumberland. The occupant, an elderly woman in her 70s, had recently been moved into temporary care following a fall at home. Her property had become dangerously cluttered, unsanitary, and structurally compromised due to long-term neglect.
The goal of the clearance was to remove health hazards, restore safe access to the property, and help make the home habitable again — either for the tenant to return safely or to assist the council in preparing the property for long-term re-housing plans.
Initial Assessment & Planning
Within 24 hours of the referral, we conducted a discreet on-site survey in coordination with the client’s assigned social worker. Key findings included:
Blocked doorways and hallways from floor-to-ceiling clutter
Presence of human and animal waste throughout the ground floor
Severe black mould in the bathroom, utility room, and back bedroom
Signs of pest infestation (rats and silverfish)
Fire hazards: Electrical points buried under piles of rubbish
Extreme odour and airborne contaminants affecting breathable air quality
We provided a written risk assessment, outlined a clear clearance timeline, and received approval from both the council and social worker to begin immediately.
️ Our Process: Step-by-Step
Day 1–2: Hoarder Clearance & Categorisation
Cleared over 7 tonnes of mixed waste including:
Rubbish, expired food, mouldy clothing, broken furniture, animal bedding, and damaged electronics
Recovered sentimental items including:
Photo albums, birth certificates, letters, a wedding ring, and religious keepsakes, all safely stored and returned to the client’s family
Labelled bags for general waste, hazardous waste, sharps, and recyclables
Used industrial PPE, including respirators, due to toxic air quality
Day 3: Pest Control & Sanitary Measures
Coordinated with our pest control partners for immediate rodent and insect treatment
Applied biohazard decontamination products to key contaminated areas (kitchen, utility room, hallway)
Removed damaged floorboards in the pantry due to rodent urine contamination
Disinfected all surfaces with medical-grade sanitisers
Day 4: Deep Clean & Mould Treatment
Applied biocidal treatments to ceilings, bathroom tiles, window frames, and exposed wall areas
Used commercial steam cleaners on kitchen appliances, windows, doors, and hard surfaces
Deodorised the home using fogging equipment and odour neutralising mist (citrus-based, non-toxic)
Fully sanitised the bathroom and removed all contaminated textiles
Day 5: Final Clean & Client Report
Final polish and inspection of all rooms
Cleared outside yard area and cleaned access pathways
Compiled a full before-and-after photo report, including a clearance log and sanitation certificate
