Hoarder clean up in Davenport

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 16 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.

Never. Hoarding is recognised as a mental health condition, not untidiness, and the crew that comes to your Davenport address is trained on that before they are trained on anything else. Vans are unmarked, uniforms are plain, and nobody comments on the property in the street or the stairwell.

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 Davenport 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 16 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 Stockport 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 — 34% of our Davenport 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.

You are welcome to be there for all of it, some of it, or none of it. Plenty of families in Stockport find the first hour the hardest and step out afterwards — that is normal, and the crew will keep you updated by phone rather than by photo unless you ask.

Every property here has its own constraint. Around Davenport station and Woodsmoor Lane's Edwardian villas it is usually on-street parking within a short carry of the front door, with a suspension arranged if the load justifies it. Tell us at the survey and it is built into the plan, not discovered on the morning.

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 Davenport properties where tree-lined avenues drop heavy leaf and sap onto driveways and conservatory roofs, 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 Davenport households rate the finished result.

All of SK2 and SK3, from the streets around Davenport station and Woodsmoor Lane's Edwardian villas outwards, plus the districts on the same round — Stockport, Edgeley, Hazel Grove, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme. No travel surcharge anywhere in Greater Manchester.

A survey is usually within 48 hours in Davenport, and work can often start the same week. Where a hospital discharge or a Stockport Council deadline is driving it, tell us the date at the survey and we will say plainly whether we can meet it.

Yes — executor and probate clearances are a regular part of the work in Davenport. We photograph and list anything of apparent value before it moves, box all paperwork, wills and financial documents for the executor, and provide dated disposal records for the estate account.

Yes. Landlords, agents and housing providers across SK2 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.

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 a fall, a fire-safety visit or a carer refusing to enter the property — we can write the report and itemised quote in the format they need.

We see animal-related contamination in Davenport properties fairly often. Faeces, bedding and nesting material are handled as contaminated waste, affected soft furnishings are usually removed, and pest control is coordinated in the same week.

Very often, yes — blocked exits, unsafe stairs and unreachable heating controls are the most common reasons a Davenport property fails a safety check. We clear escape routes and the priority room (the kitchen, so someone can cook safely) first so the home is safe to live in before the rest is staged.

A conversation, that is all. We survey, agree a written staged plan, and confirm the date. There is no requirement to clear a path or apologise for the state of the property to a Davenport crew who have seen it many times.

You pay per stage against the written quote — no deposit for standard domestic work, and no charge that was not on the plan you signed. Card, transfer and organisational invoicing are all accepted.
