Hoarder clean up in Eccles

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 Eccles 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.

Never. Hoarding is recognised as a mental health condition, not untidiness, and the crew that comes to your Eccles 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 Eccles property without agreement.

We plan the first visit around the kitchen, so someone can cook safely, then work outwards. Most M30 projects settle at 3 visits, spaced so the household can absorb what has changed and so any damp exposed under the clutter has time to dry before sanitising.

That is specialist work and it is quoted separately — quoted after survey. It covers PPE, approved containment, consignment paperwork and, where needed, air scrubbing while the room is worked. It is common in Salford properties where a health crisis triggered the call.

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 — 38% of our Eccles 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 Salford 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.

A narrow terraced frontage with no side access, so every bag comes out through the front door and along the pavement to the van — that is the Eccles 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 Salford City 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.

All of M30, from the streets around St Mary's Church, Eccles and the Eccles cake bakeries outwards, plus the districts on the same round — Swinton, Salford, Pendleton, Worsley, Irlam. No travel surcharge anywhere in Greater Manchester.

We can normally survey a M30 property within two days and start within a week. Staged projects then run at whatever pace the household can manage — typically 3 visits.

Executors get a written inventory of anything found that looks saleable or sentimental, plus waste transfer notes for the file. Around St Mary's Church, Eccles and the Eccles cake bakeries that often means clearing a Victorian and Edwardian terrace property to a solicitor's deadline — tell us the date and we plan backwards from it.

Yes. Landlords, agents and housing providers across M30 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.

We are fully insured with public liability and employer's liability cover, our crews are DBS-checked, and we hold a waste carrier licence — the three things a Salford City Council officer or a housing association will ask for. Certificates are sent with the quote, not on request.

We see animal-related contamination in Eccles 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 Eccles 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 Eccles crew who have seen it many times.

Because 65% of local projects run over 3 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.
