Project Overview
In June 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by the concerned family of a homeowner in Haltwhistle who had been living with severe hoarding disorder for over a decade. The property had become unsafe due to excessive accumulation of possessions, rubbish, and unsanitary conditions. Following a recent health scare and decision to move to assisted living, the family sought professional help to clear and sanitise the home to prepare it for sale.
The house was heavily cluttered with personal items, discarded waste, and damaged furniture, creating fire hazards and obstructing safe movement.
Initial Site Assessment
Our specialist team conducted a detailed inspection, identifying the following challenges:
Clutter piled floor-to-ceiling in most rooms, blocking access.
Blocked fire exits and windows, increasing risk in emergencies.
Mould and damp patches present, especially in kitchen and bathroom.
Rodent infestation evident from droppings and gnawed surfaces.
Biohazardous waste including soiled textiles and expired medicines.
Electrical hazards caused by tangled, overloaded cables beneath clutter.
Due to these risks, the project was classified as a Level 4 hoarding clearance, necessitating specialised personal protective equipment (PPE), biohazard protocols, and pest control coordination.
