About Hoarder Clean Up UK

We are a specialist cleaning service dedicated to supporting individuals with hoarding disorder and their families with compassion, respect, and understanding.

Our Story

Hoarder Clean Up UK was founded with a clear mission: to provide compassionate cleaning services for those affected by hoarding disorder. Our founders witnessed firsthand the emotional challenges faced by families dealing with hoarding situations and the lack of understanding and support available.

Restoring spaces. Rebuilding lives.

At the heart of our work is something simple but powerful: care.

We're a team of specialist cleaners with a background in complex cleaning services—but hoarder cleaning is where our hearts truly lie. This is more than just clearing out rooms; it's about creating space for someone to breathe again, often after holding their breath for years.

We understand that hoarding is a real and serious mental health condition. Behind every case is a story—one that deserves compassion, discretion, and professional support. That's why we approach every job not with judgment, but with empathy and purpose.

Whether we're helping a family member navigate an emotional clean-up, working with charities, or supporting someone ready to take brave steps forward on their own, we're here to make it easier.

Our team is experienced in handling all kinds of waste and extreme cleaning scenarios. We're calm in chaos, kind when things feel overwhelming, and discreet always. No two situations are the same, but our mission is: to transform environments and give people their homes—and their lives—back.

It's not always easy, but it's always worth it. And we love what we do.

Because everyone deserves a fresh start.

Our Values

These core principles guide every aspect of our work and define who we are as a company.

Compassion

We approach every situation with empathy and understanding, recognizing the emotional challenges involved in the cleanup process.

Respect

We treat every client with dignity and respect, honoring their personal boundaries and involving them in decision-making.

Integrity

We maintain the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct in all our interactions and services.

Our Specialist Approach

We understand that hoarding cleanup requires a specialized approach that addresses both the physical clutter and the emotional challenges involved.

Trauma-Informed Care

Our team is trained in trauma-informed care, recognizing that the cleanup process can be emotionally challenging for individuals with hoarding disorder. We work at a pace that feels comfortable for the individual, ensuring they have control over the process.

We often begin with a half-day session to gauge how the individual responds and adjust our approach accordingly. This allows us to build trust and create a safe environment for the cleanup process.

Collaborative Approach

We believe in a collaborative approach that involves the individual, their family, and mental health professionals when appropriate. This ensures that the cleanup process is supportive and aligned with the individual's needs.

Our technicians are trained to listen and respond to concerns, ensuring that the individual feels heard and respected throughout the process. We understand that every situation is unique and requires a personalized approach.

Our Process

  • Initial Assessment

    Compassionate evaluation of the situation to understand the specific needs and concerns.

  • Customized Plan

    Development of a personalized cleanup plan that respects the individual's boundaries and preferences.

  • Supportive Cleanup

  • Follow-Up Support
