Compulsive Hoarding Help – Hoarder House Clearance In Basingstoke

July 17, 2014 By Avery Associates

Hoarded House Clearance In Basingstoke Three Bedroom Bungalow

After a recommendation following a previous extreme hoarding house clearance case where we carried out a complete house clearance and clean up we were contacted by a client for another hoarder clear-up. Watch this hoarder house clearance video to see what the property looked like inside.


After viewing the property with my client and agreeing our fee, i was given instruction to clear the entire property and clean as a matter of urgency.

Our client was keen to get the property on the market and sold so as to settle outstanding debts to the deceased estate and to pay our fees from the sale proceeds.

Broken Toilet And Lack Of Bathroom Facilities

Having previously seen the property and its condition i was well aware of the fact that the occupant had not been able to use the toilet facility and had been leaving bags of human waste which was stacked knee high throughout the hallway kitchen and bathroom, so extreme care had to be taken while handling the material so as to avoid infection.

I dealt with this part of the work personally and in a discreet way and not making neighbors or passers by aware of the situation. I honestly felt saddened for the elderly lady who had been so ill that she was unable to even get to the bathroom, and although this type of work is unpleasant i feel that i am helping the deceased and in a very respectful way, clearing and cleaning the property, getting it back to a normal state so that nobody knows about her sad situation when she passed, other than myself and direct family.

Eight Days Clearing The Inside Of The Property Alone

Myself and three more of my team started work clearing the bungalow on the Monday. We wore protective clothing shoe covers, face masks and shoe covers to avoid infection.

I started from the entrance and hallway and after three full days i cleared the majority of contaminated waste with the assistance of my team. the next seven days was spent clearing the rest of the property whilst searching for a will and any other important documents and family photographs. All material and waste was removed from site with our own covered in vehicles and disposed of in a safe and legal manner.

Clearing The Shed Garden And Garage

The garage and shed were also heavily cluttered with household furniture and effects with a considerable amount of rubbish and debris mixed in, so these areas took another three days to clear and unfortunately we were unable to save any items due to verminous contamination, so all material had to be taken to land fill.

Watch this next video of the condition of the garage and garden.

Overgrown Garden Reinstatement And Clearance Of Rubbish

We cut back the garden to make good access to the shed then cleared the shed itself of all its content which was to the roof followed by the removal of a considerable amount of general rubbish scattered around the garden all of which was again removed from site in our own specialist vehicles.

A Satisfactory Conclusion And Solution To An Extreme Hoarding Problem

I was satisfied with the end result and my client was extremely happy with the finished job. A local estate agent was invited to check the property and agreed to photograph the property and place it for sale two days later. The property was sold very quickly and all parties concerned very happy.
