Background
In August 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a woman concerned about her elderly father’s home in Crawcrook, Tyne and Wear. Over a number of years, the property had become overwhelmed with clutter, piles of newspapers, broken items, and unsanitary conditions.
The situation had escalated to a point where it was unsafe for the resident to remain in the home. Our role was not only to clear and clean the property but to approach the situation with sensitivity, discretion, and respect for the family and their belongings.
Key Objectives
Remove all hoarded materials and accumulated rubbish
Identify and preserve important items such as documents, photographs, and keepsakes
Conduct a deep clean of all surfaces including kitchen and bathroom
Perform biohazard cleaning for health and safety
Eliminate strong odours caused by dampness and long-term waste buildup
Restore the property to a liveable condition
Initial Assessment
During the first walkthrough, we noted the following:
Living Room was inaccessible due to stacked boxes and newspapers reaching over 5 feet high
Kitchen had spoiled food, rodent droppings, and signs of infestation
Bathroom showed visible mould growth, unsanitary toilet, and blocked drainage
Bedrooms had old furniture buried under piles of clothing and miscellaneous items
Odour was overpowering and required immediate air treatment intervention
Health and safety risks were assessed as high, requiring full PPE for the team and a structured clearance strategy.
