Hoarder house clearance in London & the South East
A hoarded property is a different job with different equipment, different timescales and, more often than not, a person who is still living there. Firms that do this work regularly do it without commentary.

Hoarded properties need firms with the right equipment, the right insurance and no commentary. Tell us honestly how the property is so we send someone equipped for it.
Every firm is checked against the Environment Agency register, insured to at least £2m, and asked for references we actually call. Your job goes to a maximum of three of them.

Estimate this jobWhat a hoarder clearance involves
Rushing it is the single most common mistake, and it is the one that makes the property fill up again.
- 1An honest assessment first
Depth of the material, floor condition, whether services are reachable, whether there are pests, sharps or spoiled food. This decides equipment, crew size and whether a specialist clean is needed afterwards.
- 2Agreeing what happens with the person
Where the resident is still there, the work goes at their pace, with agreed rules about what gets checked before it leaves. A clearance done against someone’s will tends to be undone within a year.
- 3Layered removal, checking as they go
Cash, documents and valuables turn up in hoarded properties constantly, inside books, clothing and packaging. Everything is checked rather than shovelled.
- 4Deep clean and making good
Floors, surfaces and often the whole property cleaned once clear, with pest treatment or specialist decontamination where needed. This is a separate line on the quote and should be discussed before booking.
What these firms bring that others do not
Equipment, and a way of working. Both matter.
Respirators, gloves, coveralls, sharps boxes. A crew in t-shirts is a crew that will stop halfway through.
Money, documents and jewellery are routinely found buried. Firms used to this work expect it and search accordingly.
Unmarked vans and early starts where neighbours are a concern. Ask, most will arrange it without making it awkward.
Including stopping when asked. The families who get a lasting result are the ones whose firm treated it as a person’s home rather than a site.
Biohazard and pest treatment where required, by people certificated for it.
They have seen worse this month. Nobody will make you feel judged, and if anyone does, tell us and they come off the platform.
