Overview
Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a concerned family in Wolsingham, County Durham, facing a highly sensitive situation. Their elderly father, who had been living alone for over a decade, was relocating into supported housing due to health concerns. During the home assessment, it became clear that the property had developed into a severe hoarding environment—posing physical hazards, emotional strain, and potential health risks.
The family needed discreet, compassionate, and professional support to reclaim the home safely and respectfully. That’s when they called us.
️ The Challenges We Faced
This was not a regular cleaning job. Our team encountered several complex challenges:
Extreme Clutter: Every room was filled wall-to-wall with boxes, old newspapers, broken furniture, and forgotten personal belongings.
Biohazard Risks: There were signs of rodent activity, mould growth, and expired food throughout the kitchen and pantry.
Access Issues: Some doorways were completely blocked, with no clear walking path through several rooms.
Emotional Attachment: The client’s family was understandably overwhelmed and anxious about discarding sentimental items.
We knew our work had to go beyond cleaning. We needed to deliver sensitivity, structure, and support.
️ Our Process
At Sophie’s Cleaning Company, we follow a tried-and-tested hoarder clearance protocol, designed around respect, safety, and efficiency.
1. Free Site Visit & Quotation
We began with a no-obligation consultation. Our team leader visited the property in-person to assess the level of clearance required, explain our approach to the family, and provide a transparent quote. We always operate with no hidden fees and total confidentiality.
2. Sorting & Categorising
We arrived fully equipped with PPE, heavy-duty bags, and categorisation crates. Working closely with the family, we sorted everything into:
✅ Keep (items of personal or financial value)
♻️ Donate (clothing, books, furniture in usable condition)
️ Dispose (unsalvageable or hazardous items)
We ensured family members had the final say before any sentimental item was removed.
3. Safe Waste Disposal
We liaised with licensed waste carriers and local recycling centres to responsibly remove:
3 tonnes of general waste
400kg of recyclable paper and textiles
2 mattresses and 6 large items of broken furniture
All removals were logged for transparency.
4. Deep Cleaning
Once the property was cleared, we performed a full deep clean, including:
Industrial-strength carpet shampooing
Anti-mould treatment in the bathroom and bedrooms
Odour neutralisation in the kitchen
Disinfecting all hard surfaces, door handles, and high-touch areas
Full wipe-down of walls and skirting boards
Our steam cleaning equipment helped to restore surfaces without harsh chemicals, ideal for properties requiring future resale.
The Result: A Home Reclaimed
After 4 days of work, the transformation was remarkable.
The property went from a hazardous, unliveable condition to a clean, functional, and spacious family home.
Estate agents who viewed the property described it as “market-ready.”
The client’s daughter was moved to tears when she saw the final result — a home full of memories, but now safe and preserved.
