A Sensitive, Professional Approach to Hoarding

For someone living with a hoarding disorder, possessions often carry real emotional weight, so clearing a home is rarely just a physical task. We respect that. Our team is trained to work patiently and without judgement, keeping you informed and in control at every stage, and never disposing of anything without your agreement. That trust is the foundation of a successful clearance.
We regularly help with:

• Compulsive hoarding and cluttered homes filled floor to ceiling
• Properties at risk because of fire, trip or health hazards
• Clearances arranged with families, social services or environmental health

How We Help — Step by Step

---

Free, no-obligation consultation

We start with a free visit to understand the situation and your priorities. We assess the scale of the clearance, talk through your concerns, and agree on a clear, realistic plan tailored to you — including a written quote with no pressure to proceed.

A clearance plan that respects your pace

Every property is different, so we build a step-by-step plan around your comfort level. We work room by room to keep things manageable, sorting items into keep, donate, recycle and dispose — always with your approval. Where you need it, we can build in breaks and a final review of items before anything leaves the property.

Safety first

Hoarded properties can hide hazards such as structural damage, damp, mould, pests or biohazards. Before we begin we carry out a risk assessment, and our team comes equipped with the right tools and protective gear to clear the property safely and efficiently.

What's Included

---

Complete hoarder clearance

For severe, floor-to-ceiling cases we clear the whole property, then deep clean and sanitise throughout to restore it to a safe, habitable condition. We preserve valuables, important documents and sentimental items, and carry out the work in stages to keep it manageable.

Sorting, donating and recycling

We sort carefully so that as little as possible goes to landfill. Usable furniture, clothing and household goods are donated to charity, recyclable materials go to the appropriate centres, and everything else is disposed of responsibly. As a registered waste carrier licensed with the Environment Agency, all waste is handled legally and ethically — so you're fully protected against any fly-tipping liability.

Deep cleaning , biohazard and pest situations

Once cleared, we deep clean every room — floors, carpets and high-touch areas — using eco-friendly products that are safe around children and pets. We tackle odours, mould and mildew , and we're equipped to handle verminous, pest-infested and biohazard properties so the home is left hygienically clean, not just clutter-free.

We have an article that gives some great  tips on organising and decluttering a property that can be helpful to read as it gives some great decluttering tips for effective house clearance.

"Michael and his team have just finished a very difficult house clearance for us (60 yrs worth of hoarding). Michael is a great guy, communicated with us and kept our spirits up throughout and they all worked incredibly hard. Could not be more grateful and we would not hesitate to highly recommend him."

Case study: hoarded property in Arnold, Nottingham
A two-bedroom semi in Arnold had been lived in alone for 20 years and was filled floor to ceiling, with barely passable pathways and important probate documents hidden somewhere inside. Over two days we cleared the property room by room, located all the essential documents (including insurance policies worth £15,000), recovered around £2,500 of items for the family, and deep cleaned throughout to remove odours. The home was then successfully sold at auction.

How Much Does Hoarder House Clearance Cost?

This is the first thing most people ask, and the honest answer is that it depends on the property. Across the UK, a small or lightly cluttered job can start from around £750, a typical moderate two-bed clearance often falls between roughly £1,800 and £2,500 including VAT, and a severe whole-house hoard needing biohazard work can run to £15,000 or more. The main factors are:

• The volume of items and number of van loads or days needed
• Whether deep cleaning, pest treatment or biohazard handling is required
• Access to the property and how much can be recycled, donated or resold

We charge fairly and transparently, give you a written quote up front with no hidden extras, and where items have resale value we can purchase some of them and offset that against your bill. Call 0115 647 2821 for a free, accurate quote tailored to your property.

Probate, Bereavement & Council Property Clearances

Many hoarded clearances happen at the hardest of times — after losing a loved one, or while acting as an executor. We handle these with extra care, taking time to find important paperwork, valuables and keepsakes before anything is cleared.

If the property is council or housing association owned, you're often given around four weeks to clear it and return the keys, with rent sometimes continuing until then. A council clearance is rarely free — the cost is usually charged back to the estate.

Acting quickly with a professional team like Nottingham House Clearance Services helps you avoid extra rent and meet the deadline without added stress. We're experienced working alongside families, executors, solicitors and the Court of Protection, and can move fast when time is tight.

Hoarder House Clearance – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hoarder house clearance cost in Nottingham?

Costs vary with the size of the property, the volume of items and whether deep cleaning or biohazard work is needed. UK prices typically run from around £750 for a small job to £15,000+ for a severe whole-house hoard, with a moderate two-bed often around £1,800–£2,500 including VAT. We always give a free written quote first, and can offset the value of saleable items against your bill.

How long does a hoarder clearance take?

Smaller jobs can be completed in a day, while severe, floor-to-ceiling hoarding situations may take two or more days. We work room by room at a pace that feels manageable for you, and we will give you a realistic timeline as part of your free quote.

Who pays for clearing a hoarder's house after a death?

The cost is usually paid from the deceased's estate, and the executor or next of kin typically arranges it. If a council or housing association property is involved, any clearance charge is normally billed back to the estate rather than to you personally.

Will the council clear a hoarder's house for free?

Rarely. Some councils offer a clearance service, but it's usually chargeable (and billed to the estate), and turnaround can be slow — leaving little time before your deadline. You're often given around four weeks to clear the property and return the keys, so arranging a professional clearance is frequently faster and less stressful.

Do you handle biohazards, deep cleaning and odour removal?

Yes. After clearance we carry out a thorough deep clean and sanitisation, including the removal of odours, mould and the safe handling of biohazards. We carry out a risk assessment first to identify any hidden hazards and keep everyone safe

Is your hoarder clearance service confidential and discreet?

Completely. We understand hoarding is sensitive and personal. Our team works with discretion, compassion and full respect for your privacy, and nothing is thrown away without your agreement.

Can you clear a hoarded property after a bereavement or for probate?

Yes. We regularly clear hoarded properties as part of probate and after a loss. We take great care to locate important documents, valuables and sentimental items, and we work sympathetically with families and solicitors throughout.

Are you a licensed waste carrier, and do you recycle and donate items?

Yes. We are a registered waste carrier and dispose of waste responsibly and legally. Wherever possible we donate usable items to charity and recycle, to keep as much as we can out of landfill

Which areas do you cover for hoarder clearance?
