Hoarder clean up in Altrincham

We quote after seeing the property, never over the phone, because volume and contamination are what set the price — a typical whole-property job here moves around 17 cubic yards. Single room work starts from £395 and staged whole-property recovery from £1,250. The survey itself is free. All prices include licensed waste disposal with transfer notes, unmarked vans and a team briefed on working respectfully with the household.

Discretion is the whole model. Unmarked vans in WA14, no company name on the pavement, no photographs without permission, and a crew of 2 who have done this many times before. What is inside the property stays between you, us and anyone you have asked us to speak to.

You do — or the resident does. We sort into keep, donate, recycle and dispose with the household present, and anything they are unsure about goes into a labelled review box rather than the van. Nothing leaves a Altrincham property without agreement.

Usually 5 visits for a whole property in Altrincham, and 72% of local projects are staged rather than done in one push. A single room can be finished in a day. Pace matters more than speed: rushed clearances tend to refill within a year.

Yes. Sharps go into approved containers, soiled textiles are double-bagged at source, and human or animal waste is treated as clinical waste with documented disposal. Crews wear full PPE for contaminated rooms, and every consignment leaving Altrincham carries a licensed waste carrier note.

Nothing is fly-tipped, and nothing is left in the back garden for the council to find. Loads are consigned, documented and diverted where possible: about 79% of WA14 material avoids landfill through reuse and recycling.

Referrals are welcome and common in Trafford. We are used to fire-safety deadlines, tenancy enforcement letters and hospital discharge dates, and we will write the staged plan around whichever of those is driving the timetable.

Around 61% of Altrincham jobs are family-arranged, and most families are on site for at least the first visit. What we ask for is one named point of contact, so decisions do not stall on the landing while people disagree.

A single goods lift, a booked loading bay and a concierge who needs notice before the first load goes down — that is the Altrincham reality, and it changes crew size rather than price per bag. We survey it, allow for it, and where a parking suspension is needed we arrange it with Trafford Council in advance.

Only after source removal — odour treatment on a property that is still full is a waste of your money. Once rooms are clear and sanitised, we schedule ozone or hydroxyl treatment and re-check after 7–10 days to confirm the smell has not returned.

Aftercare is part of the plan, not an upsell. A written handover, photographs if you want a record, disposal paperwork for the file, and a follow-up conversation about what support the household needs so the same call is not made again in two years.

The full Altrincham district and the adjoining ones — Hale, Bowdon, Timperley, Sale, Hale Barns. Crews are dispatched by geography, so a property near Altrincham Market House and Dunham Massey nearby or on the far side of altrincham Market is the same price and the same timescale.

We can normally survey a WA14 property within two days and start within a week. Staged projects then run at whatever pace the household can manage — typically 5 visits.

We handle deceased-estate and probate properties in Trafford routinely, often to a completion or tenancy-end date. Valuables and documents are separated and handed over in person; the rest is cleared, cleaned and the property left presentable for a valuation or viewing.

Yes. Landlords, agents and housing providers across WA14 use us for end-of-tenancy hoarding recovery, and we invoice the organisation rather than the tenant where that is the arrangement. You receive before/after records and full disposal documentation for the tenancy file.

Every crew member entering a Altrincham property is DBS-checked and trained in hoarding-sensitive practice, mental-health awareness and biohazard handling. We carry full public liability insurance and licensed carrier registration; copies go in the quote pack.

Animals come first. If pets are in the property we agree a safe room or an off-site arrangement before the first bag moves, and where welfare is a concern we raise it with the household and, if needed, the relevant service rather than working around it.

Fire risk, trip hazards and blocked meters are assessed at the survey. In Trafford the trigger is frequently a fall, a fire-safety visit or a carer refusing to enter the property, so the first visit is written to remove the immediate hazard rather than to look impressive.

Only a decision-maker on site and a rough idea of priorities. Parking near Altrincham Market House and Dunham Massey nearby is worth mentioning at the survey, because a single goods lift, a booked loading bay and a concierge who needs notice before the first load goes down — we would rather plan for that than discover it on the morning.

Payment is on completion of each stage, so a staged Altrincham project is paid across the visits rather than in one lump. We invoice councils, housing associations, solicitors and care providers on account where that is the arrangement.
