Sophie’s Hoarders House Clearance Service Dipton – County Durham
Case Study: Hoarders House Clearance – Dipton, County Durham
Client: Estate Executor (Nephew of Former Occupant)
Service: Hoarders Property Clearance & Specialist Biohazard Cleaning
Company: Sophie’s Cleaning Company
Location: Dipton, County Durham
Duration: 4 Days
Background
Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a man managing his late aunt’s estate. She had lived alone in a two-bedroom bungalow in Dipton, and over the years had developed a severe hoarding disorder. Upon her passing, the property was left in a critical condition — uninhabitable, unsafe, and emotionally overwhelming for the family to deal with.
The client was based outside the region and required a local, discreet, and experienced team to manage the clearance professionally and sensitively. That’s when he reached out to us.
Initial Assessment
We conducted a next-day site visit and met the client on location. Our trained hoarding clearance specialist documented the extent of the issue and developed a structured plan. Here’s what we found:
Every room was heavily impacted, with belongings stacked waist-high or higher
Rotten food in cupboards and freezers
Signs of mice activity in kitchen cupboards and utility area
Narrow, unsafe walkways throughout the house
Heavy nicotine staining on walls, ceilings, and fixtures
Fire hazards from overloaded plug sockets, candles, and paper clutter
The goal was to clear, clean, and restore the property to a safe and sanitary condition, allowing the family to sell or renovate without worry.
Our Process
️ Day 1: Site Preparation & Hazard Control
Our team arrived in full PPE including respirators, gloves, and disposable coveralls
We used professional-grade lighting and air scrubbers to ventilate and work safely
Identified sharps, mould-prone areas, pest risk zones, and unstable furniture
The home was divided into sections for methodical and secure progress
♻️ Day 2–3: Structured Clearance
Over two days, we removed more than 4.5 tonnes of material, including:
Water-damaged furniture and clothing
Thousands of stacked newspapers and unopened mail
Out-of-date tinned food and perished fridge/freezer contents
Boxes of miscellaneous, unsorted items including electronics and ornaments
We worked closely with the client to set aside sentimental items such as photographs, jewelry, and family records
Recyclables were separated from general waste; hazardous waste (e.g., old batteries, medications) was disposed of legally and safely
All materials were taken away by our licensed waste carriers, with full compliance to Durham County Council regulations
Day 4: Deep Cleaning & Decontamination
After the property was cleared, we carried out a full sanitation and biohazard clean, including:
Degreasing and disinfecting kitchen surfaces and white goods
Anti-bacterial and mould treatment of all walls, windows, skirting boards
Cleaning of bathroom fixtures, including deep descaling and sanitation
Fogging with hospital-grade disinfectant to neutralise odours and bacteria
Full deodorisation, especially in areas affected by pests and nicotine
Before & After Summary

❌ Unsafe for occupation
❌ Major hygiene, pest, and fire hazards

After:

The transformation was not only physical but emotional. The family expressed deep relief at having the burden lifted respectfully and thoroughly.
Client Testimonial
“I couldn’t be there for my aunt in the last few years of her life, and this situation left me feeling guilty and overwhelmed. Sophie’s Cleaning Company was kind, professional, and didn’t pass judgment. They treated her home — and her memory — with care. I’ll be forever grateful.”
