Hoarder clean up in Boothstown

The assessment visit is free — a surveyor visits, walks what is safe to walk, and writes a staged plan. A single room is from £395; a whole property, staged in a Boothstown property is from £1,250. 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 M28, no company name on the pavement, no photographs without permission, and a crew of 3 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 Boothstown property without agreement.

It depends on volume and on the person. A room from from £395 is typically one day; a full inter-war semi property here averages 5 visits and about 10 cubic yards. We would rather book four calm days than one exhausting one.

We are equipped for it. Needles, medical waste, decomposition residues, rodent and insect contamination — all handled under licence, recorded, and consigned separately from general waste. Pest control is coordinated in the same week rather than left for you to arrange.

We are a licensed waste carrier and we work to Salford City Council's rules on bulky and hazardous waste. You get the documentation for your file — which is what a landlord's tenancy record or an executor's account needs if anyone asks later.

Yes — 22% of our Boothstown projects involve a social worker, housing officer, occupational therapist or care team. We can attend a multi-agency meeting, work to a case plan, and invoice a local authority or housing association directly.

It helps enormously, but it has to be the right person. One calm decision-maker on site is better than four relatives with opinions. If the resident finds family presence stressful, we can work with just them and a support worker instead.

Access in Boothstown means driveway space for the van and, usually, a side gate wide enough to take a wheeled tote to the rear rooms. We plan the route before the first bag moves, sheet the exit path to protect floors and communal areas, and time the load-out so the pavement is not blocked for neighbours.

Yes, and we are honest about what it can and cannot fix. Soft furnishings and carpet that have absorbed contamination usually have to go; plaster and timber can normally be treated. In Boothstown properties where canal-side damp and towpath tree cover make block paving prone to green algae in shaded plots, we allow drying time before treating.

The risk of a property refilling is real, which is why we finish with a handover, an introduction to local support, and the option of regular cleaning visits to hold the standard. Around 97% of Boothstown households rate the finished result.

All of M28, from the streets around Boothstown Marina on the Bridgewater Canal outwards, plus the districts on the same round — Worsley, Walkden, Tyldesley, Little Hulton, Leigh. No travel surcharge anywhere in Greater Manchester.

We can normally survey a M28 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 Salford 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.

We work to tenancy-enforcement and fire-safety deadlines in Salford regularly. Where possession is being sought, we keep our records neutral and factual so they stand up if the case goes further, and we work to Salford City Council's bulky-waste rules throughout.

Insurance, DBS checks and waste carrier licensing are all in place and evidenced up front. If your insurer is funding the work — common after a fire, leak or an adult child visiting for the first time in months and finding the hallway blocked — we can write the report and itemised quote in the format they need.

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.

Where a hospital discharge is waiting on the property, we prioritise the route from the front door to a bed, a working bathroom and a usable kitchen, then continue in later visits. Occupational-therapy recommendations are built into the first-visit plan.

Nothing. Do not tidy, do not pre-sort, and do not throw anything out before we arrive — people often bin the wrong things under pressure. Just let us in, and tell the surveyor which rooms matter most.

Because 73% of local projects run over 5 visits, we bill stage by stage so nobody commits the full amount up front. Variations are re-quoted in writing before the extra work happens, never added afterwards.
