The service, locally
Hoarder clean-up in Mottingham SE9
Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton on SE9 jobs. 1930s semis with drives, post-war estate housing and small flat blocks on the Mottingham rounds. Both go into the plan before a date is booked across SE9 — and 33% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, because carry distance and stair flights change how many people we send, not what we charge you per hour.
Tenure matters more than most people expect. 69% of Bromley homes are owner-occupied, 13% socially rented and 17% privately rented across 135,828 households on this side of Bromley, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. In Mottingham the homes we work in are mostly long-held family houses with lofts, cellars and forty years of storage — and 50% owner-occupation locally, with Bromley parking rules in play, and what suits them is supported sorting days at the resident's pace on SE9 jobs, with everything personal set aside first.
What we most often meet here: long-held family houses with lofts, cellars and forty years of storage. The usual challenge is decades of paperwork, photographs and inherited belongings, where the sorting matters far more than the carrying. The route that tends to work is supported sorting days at the resident's pace, with everything personal set aside first. Access and parking: Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton.

How we work
Consent first, always the rules we do not bend
Consent decides everything
Nothing leaves the property unless the person who lives there has agreed to it, item by item or category by category. Change your mind about a box at eleven o'clock and that box stays.
We work at your pace
Some homes suit a single full day; many do not, and a staged plan across several visits gets further with less distress. We say which is realistic at the survey.
Discretion as standard
Unmarked vehicles on request, plain clothing, no company name at the doorstep, and no photographs beyond those needed for insurance or a landlord file, with written permission.
Trained, checked, insured
DBS-checked teams trained in trauma-informed practice and infection control, full public liability cover, and licensed waste carriage with transfer notes issued to you.
Five routes
The person decides the route not the price list
Supported sorting
You sit at the sorting station and make every decision; the team fetches, holds up, bags and carries across four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided.
Best for: Staying in control, and homes where sentimental value does most of the work.
Staged programme
The home is split into zones in a written order, and each visit finishes a zone completely so there is a usable room before the next one starts.
Best for: Moderate to high Clutter Image Rating homes, or anyone overwhelmed by a single-day attempt before.
Single-session clear
A larger team completes the property in one continuous programme, with a family member or advocate holding decisions where needed.
Best for: Deadline work — a tenancy ending, a completion date or an enforcement notice.
Safeguarding-led clearance
Run jointly with the referring professional against their risk assessment and objectives, with our written report back afterwards.
Best for: Blocked escape routes, enforcement notices or a tenancy at risk.
Recovery clean and sanitise
After sorting: deep clean, anti-microbial treatment, carpets cleaned and odour dealt with at source.
Best for: Handing a property back, or the point where a home needs to feel like a home again.

- Access and carry
- Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton. Carry distance and stair flights change the number of operatives we send, and both are counted at the survey.
- Permits and charges
- Bromley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ, and our vehicles are compliant. London Borough of Bromley permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us.
- Housing stock
- 1930s semis with drives, post-war estate housing and small flat blocks. With 31% of Bromley homes being flats, lift access often decides whether a job is two days or three.
- Disposal volume
- The single biggest variable, estimated at the survey from the Clutter Image Rating — we would rather over-estimate and refund than surprise you.
Scope
What is included in Mottingham and what honestly is not
Included in every job
- A free, no-obligation survey — in person or by video call — and a fixed written quote before anything is booked.
- A written risk assessment covering escape routes, fire loading, floor loading and biological risk.
- DBS-checked operatives trained in trauma-informed practice and infection control.
- A four-tray sorting station and item-by-item consent throughout the visit.
- Documents, photographs, jewellery, cash and keys set aside for you to review, never disposed of on a judgement call.
- Licensed waste carriage with transfer notes, donation runs to a charity you choose, and parking, permits and ULEZ inside the quoted figure.
Not included — and why
- Clearing a home against the wishes of a resident who has capacity — we will not do it, whoever is paying.
- Therapy or clinical treatment. We work alongside your therapist or mental health team, but a clean is not treatment.
- Pest eradication and structural, damp, electrical or gas work. We identify it, arrange the specialist and quote it separately.
- Valuing or selling belongings. We flag anything that looks valuable and hand it to you rather than price it.
A shared standard
The Clutter Image Rating and the safety checks behind every plan
Band 1–3 · Low
Cluttered, but every surface, doorway and appliance is still usable and the floor is largely clear.
Usually a one-day sort and deep clean, often with the resident working alongside the team.
Band 4–6 · Moderate
Floor space is significantly reduced and one or more rooms cannot be used for their purpose.
Commonly two to four visits with a sorting station and a written plan agreed first.
Band 7–9 · High
Movement is restricted to narrow paths and exits or appliances may be blocked, with structural or contamination risk.
A staged programme with a written risk assessment, PPE throughout and other agencies usually involved.
Safety checks on every survey
Four checks run on every SE9 survey before a plan is written, and clearing a route out is always the first task on site.
- Escape routes: every exit checked, and clearing a route out is always the first task on site.
- Fire and structural loading: stored material near heaters, meters and consumer units, plus upper-floor and loft loading, reported in writing.
- Biological risk: food waste, animal waste and sharps identified and handled under the correct waste stream.
- Pests and utilities: any evidence logged and treatment recommended first, with gas, water and electrical access points cleared.
