Hoarder cleaning services cover the sorting, removal, and deep cleaning a severely cluttered property needs, and at Properly Services we treat it as a specialist job, not just a bigger deep cleaning service.
Every job starts the same way: work out what’s actually in the property, sort what stays, then clear a path to clean safely. Whether you’re a worried relative, a landlord facing a difficult turnaround, or reclaiming your own home, we handle it with discretion and zero judgement.
No two jobs look the same, but the process behind them follows a consistent structure from the first walkthrough to the final clean.
We start by sorting room by room, bagging rubbish and removing debris before any cleaning begins. Nothing leaves the house without your say. Once it’s cleared, the team moves onto the deep clean itself: surfaces, floors, kitchens and bathrooms, scrubbed and sanitised to a liveable standard. Carpets often take the worst of it, so deep carpet cleaning is usually part of the job, not an afterthought, lifting ground-in dirt, pet hair and odour a normal hoover won’t touch. If soft furnishings are affected too, our carpet cleaning service can cover the whole property.
Hoarded properties often hide problems beyond the visible clutter: damp and mould behind furniture, ingrained pet odour, or a garden left for years. We can add mould treatment, pet odour removal, and gutter clearance, and, where driveways or patios need attention, our pressure washing service handles the outdoor side. You choose which rooms and extras are included, so you’re never paying for more than the property needs.
Hoarder cleans rarely come from one type of customer, so the service is built to flex around very different situations.
Optional add-on for mouldy areas and affected surfaces.
Odour and pet-related treatment for carpets and soft furnishings.
Surface clean for moss/algae build-up on outdoor areas.
External glass, frames, and sills (access permitting).
Driveways, patios, decking, and outdoor hard surfaces.
Removal of debris from gutters (subject to safe access).
Bagging, removal, and disposal options depending on volume.
Steam sanitising for hard floors and suitable surfaces.
Light organisation/tidy-up before or after the clean.
Cost depends on the size of the property, how much needs clearing, and whether there are extra hazards like mould or pest damage. We’ll give you a free, no-obligation quote once we understand what’s involved, rather than guessing a figure that won’t hold up on the day.
Hoarded properties sometimes hide problems you can’t see until clearance is underway, like damage behind furniture. If anything’s missed once the job’s finished, get in touch within 3 days and we’ll confirm whether it’s covered by the original scope or needs a separate booking.
A hoarder clean isn’t something to tackle alone, and it’s not something to feel embarrassed about booking either. Whatever’s brought you to this point, bereavement, a difficult tenancy, or years of things quietly piling up, the property can be sorted properly, without judgement and without rushing you through it. Book your hoarder clean online, and we’ll take it from there.
