Sophie’s Hoarders House Clearance Service Whitley Bay
Client: Executor of Estate (Deceased Property)
Location: Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear
Property Type: 2-Bedroom Ground Floor Flat
Service Provided: Full Hoarder Clearance, Deep Cleaning & Odour Neutralisation
Project Duration: 5 Days
Team Size: 3 Clearance Specialists
Background
In August 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a solicitor acting on behalf of the executor of an estate in Whitley Bay. The property, a two-bedroom ground floor flat, had belonged to an elderly gentleman who had passed away with no immediate family involved in the clearance.
He had been suffering from hoarding disorder for many years, and the flat was left in a severely cluttered and unsanitary condition. Our team was tasked with clearing the property, identifying any valuables, and preparing it for valuation and future sale.
Client Objectives
Remove all hoarded items and waste throughout the flat
Search for and safeguard any important documents or personal effects
Deep clean all rooms, including biohazard treatment where needed
Eliminate persistent odours from mould, rubbish, and rot
Provide full clearance documentation for probate and estate sale
Initial Site Assessment
We carried out a same-week inspection of the property.
Key observations:
Entrance hallway and lounge completely obstructed with stacked boxes and newspapers
Significant amounts of expired food waste and packaging in the kitchen
Pest activity evident — rodent droppings under sink and appliances
Bathroom was inaccessible and suspected to be non-functional
Damp patches, nicotine staining, and mould on ceilings and walls
Very strong odour throughout the flat — windows had not been opened in years
Based on this, we prepared a 5-day clearance and sanitation plan with full PPE use, waste logistics, and aftercare recommendations.
