Sophie’s Hoarders House Clearance Service Kirk Memington – County Durham
Client: Executor of Estate (Probate Clearance)
Service: Hoarder Property Clearance & Deep Sanitation
Location: Kirk Merrington, County Durham
Duration: 3 Days
Team Size: 4 Professional Clearance Operatives
Background
Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a solicitor acting as the executor of an estate in Kirk Merrington, County Durham. The deceased homeowner had no immediate family and had suffered from hoarding disorder in the later stages of life. The property, a modest two-bedroom bungalow, needed to be cleared, cleaned, and prepared for probate valuation.
The solicitor required a discreet and professional team that could carry out the work respectfully, safely, and within a tight timeline to meet legal deadlines.
The Challenge
When our team first arrived, the home presented a number of health and safety concerns, including:
Large volumes of clutter, including old furniture, magazines, unopened deliveries, and household items
Kitchen appliances coated with grease and residue from decayed food
Rodent droppings in cupboards and skirting areas
Blocked fire exits and unstable walking surfaces
A mix of personal documents and sensitive information within the piles of clutter
Strong odours and poor indoor air quality
It was essential to identify any financial or legal documents for the probate process, while safely clearing the property for valuation.
Our Approach
1. On-Site Assessment & Planning
Conducted a discreet site visit alongside the estate solicitor.
Carried out a full hazard and risk assessment (PPE required throughout).
Created a three-day phased plan: clearance, recovery of sensitive documents, and deep sanitisation.
2. Careful Sorting & Clearance
Removed over 100 bags of waste, including general clutter, perishables, and broken items.
Carefully sifted through documents and secured important paperwork, including a will, insurance policies, and property deeds.
Recovered sentimental items including photographs, medals, and handwritten letters.
All waste was processed via licensed disposal and recycling partners in accordance with local regulations.
3. Deep Clean & Decontamination
Fully disinfected the kitchen and bathroom using hospital-grade cleaning agents.
Treated and removed visible mould and mildew in damp-prone areas.
Deodorised the home using ozone treatment and HEPA air filtration units.
Sanitised all floors, walls, and fixtures to prepare the space for estate valuation.
4. Reporting & Property Handover
Compiled a full digital photo report with before-and-after comparisons.
Provided an itemised list of all documents and valuables recovered.
Delivered a hygiene clearance certificate and post-cleaning notes for the probate file.
The Result
The solicitor was extremely impressed with the professionalism and speed of service. The property was safely cleared and cleaned, allowing the estate to move forward with valuation and legal processing. What could have been a prolonged delay became a streamlined, well-documented transition handled with care.
