Duration: 4 Days

Background
Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by the executor of an estate in Gainford following the passing of a long-term resident whose home had become heavily hoarded over many years. The property required a sensitive and professional clearance to enable the family to prepare the house for sale, while carefully preserving personal effects of sentimental value.
The Situation
The two-bedroom detached property was in an extreme hoarding condition:
Rooms filled with stacked newspapers, old clothing, discarded packaging, and miscellaneous household clutter
Kitchen unusable due to food waste, grease, and pest infestation
Bathroom with significant mould, blocked drains, and damaged fittings
Strong malodours permeating throughout the property due to accumulated waste and poor ventilation
Blocked access routes and serious fire hazards caused by clutter
Important personal items—photos, documents, heirlooms—mixed among general debris
The estate required a professional clearance team who could work efficiently and discreetly, with respect for the family’s wishes.
Our Approach
1. Detailed Consultation & Risk Assessment
Met with the estate executor to identify priority items and discuss the emotional aspects of the clearance.
Conducted a thorough risk and safety assessment focusing on biohazards, pests, and structural risks.
Designed a phased 4-day clearance and deep cleaning plan tailored to the property’s needs.
2. Careful Clearance & Item Recovery
Removed over 180 bags of rubbish and unusable items in accordance with environmental and waste regulations.
Sorted through clutter to recover photos, documents, jewellery, and other sentimental belongings.
Disposed of hazardous materials through licensed waste carriers to ensure safety and compliance.
3. Comprehensive Deep Cleaning
Sanitised kitchen, bathroom, and living areas using hospital-grade disinfectants.
Treated mould and damp with specialised products to prevent recurrence.
Utilised steam cleaning and ozone generators to eliminate odours and improve air quality.
Thoroughly cleaned all surfaces, floors, and fixtures to prepare the property for sale.
4. Final Reporting & Family Support
Provided the executor with a detailed photographic report showing the property’s transformation.
Returned all recovered personal items securely labelled.
Offered ongoing cleaning and maintenance advice to assist with estate management.
The Outcome
