Clearing A Hoarded House In Hackney London N16 For Family Of Deceased

April 17, 2014 by Avery Associates

Hoarded House Clearance In Thirlmere House Hackney London N16

We were called recently to quote for a clearing a hoarded house in Howard Rd Hackney London N16 8PW. The flat concerned was on the third floor with a small lift. When i arrived to quote for the job i was met by the sister of the deceased occupant and together we assessed the scale of the house clearance work involved as the small flat was amassed with household goods, clothing, bric a brac, collectables and much more. I worked out a quote for the customer and told her it would take 2 days to clear, she instructed us immediately and asked us to proceed as soon as possible then handed me the front door keys.

A Large quantity Of Clothing

The following day we arrived at 8am and started work immediately clearing the cluttered hallway of a Low bookcase with magazines and videos on top stacked 3 feet high, followed by boxes of books scattered along the walkway and some discarded clothing. We now had clear access to a store cupboard which was cleared next of large amount of clutter including 5 suitcases boxes of old christmas cards, clothing, footwear, broken furniture and 2 ironing boards. At this point i was called downstairs to load the truck of the accumulated household items and effects. Son after i returned upstairs to the apartment to carry on into the bedroom to commence clearing. It was packed with clothing probably five hundred garments of different descriptions along with numerous shoes and boots. I cleared them all into black bags for recycling and then carried on clearing other items to include about 100 videos, lots of cd’s, a television, three chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a double bed and quite a few small electrical items, finally removing the carpet and that of the hallway.

Lounge And Kitchen Clearance The Day After

These areas were fairly easy to clear the following day and because there were a lot of good items that were very suitable for re-use and recycling i boxed and wrapped them for my team to pack carefully into our other truck to deliver to a local charity. The cooker and fridge were removed along with a microwave electric kettle toaster and blender all in perfect working order and ok to pass on to a good home. Finally we removed the remaining carpet then washed down the bathroom kitchen and toilet, mopping the vinyl floors and hoovering the other areas. After my final inspection and check i called my client who returned to a clean and clear flat. She was ver pleased and thanked me and my team then after locking the door made her way back to the nearby train station to get home to Birmingham.

Our House Clearance Services

We provide a full house clearance and property management solution:

  • We clear hoarded houses, regardless how big or how cluttered
  • We clear all types and sizes of property, irrespective of location, or access is restricted or where parking is difficult or not available.
  • We can help avoid water damage by draining the central heating system.

  • We can reinstate the gardens and maintain them whilst the property is empty.
  • We can provide 24 hour security to eliminate the risk of squatting or unlawful occupation.

As well normal house clearances we specialise in clutter clearance and we can clear a hoarded house which may contain years of accumulated possessions, or which have abnormal amounts of general household items, sometimes as a result of compulsive hoarding syndrome.

Equally we can help to clear a property where the occupants were previously unwell and unable to care for themselves or their property which sometimes results in insanitary, dangerous or just plain unpleasant conditions.
