Background
Sophie’s Cleaning Company was approached by a local family in Cornforth, County Durham, facing a difficult situation. Their elderly father, who had struggled with hoarding for many years, had recently moved into care due to declining health. The family needed a professional, sensitive team to clear the cluttered and hazardous family home, allowing them to sell the property and move forward.
The house, a three-bedroom semi-detached property typical of the area, was severely affected by years of accumulated belongings, blocked pathways, mould growth, pest infestation, and pervasive unpleasant odours.
The family sought a cleaning company with experience in hoarder clearance, offering discretion, respect, and thoroughness.
