Hoarder clean up in Reddish

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 Reddish 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.

No — and we say that knowing you have probably been told it before. Our crews are briefed to speak to the resident, not about them, to ask before moving anything, and to stop when asked. 69% of our Reddish projects are arranged by a family member, so we are used to walking into a room where trust has to be earned in the first ten minutes.

The resident holds the veto, always. We agree a signal before we start that means pause, and we honour it. Where a family or a social worker disagrees with a decision, we stop and let them resolve it rather than clearing over the top of it.

It depends on volume and on the person. A room from from £395 is typically one day; a full mill and warehouse conversion property here averages 5 visits and about 19 cubic yards. We would rather book four calm days than one exhausting one.

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 Stockport properties where a health crisis triggered the call.

Every load carries a waste transfer note, and 81% of what we remove from Reddish homes is reused, donated or recycled rather than landfilled. Electricals are separated for WEEE, textiles and household goods go to local charities where they are fit to donate.

Yes — 32% of our Reddish 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.

Every property here has its own constraint. Around Houldsworth Mill and Victoria Baths-era Reddish Baths it is usually a single goods lift, a booked loading bay and a concierge who needs notice before the first load goes down. Tell us at the survey and it is built into the plan, not discovered on the morning.

Odour work is the last stage, never the first. Clear, deep-clean, dry, then treat — and if the smell is coming from drainage or a trap rather than the contents, we find that before booking an ozone visit you do not need.

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 Reddish households rate the finished result.

The full Reddish district and the adjoining ones — Heaton Chapel, Heaton Norris, Gorton, Denton, Bredbury. Crews are dispatched by geography, so a property near Houldsworth Mill and Victoria Baths-era Reddish Baths or on the far side of reddish Vale country park is the same price and the same timescale.

We can normally survey a SK5 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 Stockport 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 SK5 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 Stockport Council officer or a housing association will ask for. Certificates are sent with the quote, not on request.

We see animal-related contamination in Reddish 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 Reddish property fails a safety check. We clear escape routes and the priority room (the living room, so a carer or nurse has somewhere to work) first so the home is safe to live in before the rest is staged.

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.

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.
