Background
In July 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a woman whose elderly mother had recently been moved into assisted living. The family needed to clear and clean her former flat in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, which had become severely cluttered over the years due to undiagnosed hoarding behaviours and deteriorating physical health.
The client was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. They wanted a compassionate and discreet team to handle the situation with care and professionalism.
Client Objectives
Clear all clutter and waste from the property
Search for sentimental items, personal documents, and family photographs
Deep clean and disinfect all rooms, especially the kitchen and bathroom
Remove biohazardous materials and pest traces
Eliminate long-standing odours
Provide photographic evidence for housing and social services
Initial Assessment
During our initial inspection, we found:
The front room was completely inaccessible, filled waist-high with newspapers, old clothes, plastic bags, and cardboard boxes
The kitchen had no usable surfaces, with rotting food, broken appliances, and evidence of mice
The bathroom showed signs of black mould and water damage
Bed linens and mattresses were soiled beyond recovery
Strong musty and organic odours filled the entire flat
Electrical sockets, radiators, and smoke alarms were blocked or buried
A custom 5-day plan was agreed, with a focus on safety, item recovery, clearance, and deep cleaning.
Step-by-Step Process
Day 1: Preparation & Safety Setup
Installed ventilation units to improve airflow
Staff equipped with full PPE (hazmat suits, gloves, boots, respirators)
Cleared a safe pathway into the hallway and kitchen
Skip delivered and legally placed for regulated waste removal
Day 2–3: Structured Hoarder Clearance & Sorting
We followed our Four-Phase Sorting Method to handle contents respectfully:
Category Action Taken
Keep Found: Birth certificates, letters, photo albums, pension forms
Donate A small selection of usable clothing and unopened household items
Recycle Cardboard, metal, glass, electronics
Dispose 4.2 tonnes of waste removed including perished food, soiled textiles, infested furniture
✔️ Recovered and returned personal items to family in sealed containers
✔️ Coordinated pest control visit for rodent activity detected in kitchen and bedroom
Day 4: Biohazard & Deep Clean
Kitchen and bathroom sanitised with EN-approved antimicrobial disinfectants

⚠️ Key Challenges
Sensitive nature of contents: The property contained private letters, family memorabilia, and fragile keepsakes. We worked closely with the daughter to preserve anything of sentimental value.
Active pest activity: Pest control measures were implemented mid-clearance due to signs of mice under kitchen units.
Poor air quality: Ozone generators and air scrubbers were essential to make the environment safe to work in.
