Clearing a hoarded home is about more than waste. It needs patience, respect and a team that can deal with what the clutter often hides. We work at a pace that suits the person living there, and we never judge.
Why it matters that we are pest controllers
Hoarded properties very often have rats, mice, cockroaches, fleas or other insects living in the clutter. Most clearance companies cannot deal with them, and most pest controllers cannot treat properly until the clutter has gone. We do both, so the clearance and the pest treatment are planned together and the home is left clean and safe.

How a hoarding clearance works
- Confidential visitWe meet you, look round the property and agree what is to be kept, sorted or cleared. Nothing is decided without you.
- Plan and quoteYou get a clear price and a plan, which can be done in stages if that suits the person living there.
- Pest check and treatmentWe check for rodents and insects and treat them before and during the clear-out, so they are not spread around.
- ClearanceWe sort and clear the property, setting aside paperwork, photos, valuables and anything personal.
- Clean and resetWe clean and disinfect where needed, proof any pest entry points and can arrange repairs, leaving a safe, usable home.
Discreet and respectful
We use plain, careful language, keep the work as low-key as we can for neighbours, and treat the person and their belongings with respect. Everything cleared goes to licensed sites, with a waste transfer note.
Hoarded homes can contain sharps, chemicals, gas bottles, rotting food and heavy fouling. We assess the risks first and use the right protective equipment, and will tell you how any specialist items can be dealt with.
