Hoarded House In Ealing Goes Unnoticed For 20 Years – Two Week House Clearance Of Hoarders Property In West London

May 7, 2013 By Avery Associates

Hoarded Property Clearance In Ealing, London W4

In April this year i was called to a property in Ealing West London by my client who had described her Mothers house as extremely hoarded, and that every room in the house including the loft and garage was crammed to capacity with everything imaginable. The garden was completely out of control and also needed serious attention.
After viewing the condition of the property inside with my client i tried to get access to the garden which proved to be impossible so we both went upstairs to view the garden from an upstairs window, and even from this level it was difficult to gauge the work needed to clear the garden.

Instruction To Clear House, Garage, Loft and Garden

Having successfully carried out many hoarding jobs of this nature i was able to provide a quotation to my client which was accepted and i was handed the keys there and then and took instruction to clear the property entirely, remove all material from site including a complete and complete garden clearance with all overgrown trees and brambles taken down to the soil.
Two days later i arrived with one of my staff to start work and for the first 48 hours we carefully sifted and sorted through paperwork and general household contents to find important documents, photos, valuables and jewelry. We located cash and important financial documents and a large quantity of photographs relating to a Grandparent who had served in the Hussars, all of which were put into secure boxes then returned to our client.

The Garage Clearance

For the next five days my full team worked non stop clearing all of the contents from the property and putting aside any items of use and anything that could be recycled. The garage took one whole day to clear and amongst the contents in the garage we found a new bathroom suite, six new hardwood internal doors, hardware in large quantities comprising of door locks, hinges, screws, tools, paint, electrical accessories, timber, a car trailer, a compressor, jerry cans, over twenty garden shovels spades and forks all of which were new and unused. And when the garage was empty we used it as a holding area for all salvageable items.

Clearing The House

Foe the following four days my team cleared the inside of the house adopting the same approach and storing anything for recycling in the garage. The house through up many interesting items that dating from the Victorian period right through to the 70,s, with the discovery of some wonderful vintage clothing, shoes and toys long with an abundance of other weird and wonderful items form all eras but still in great condition. The waste removed far exceeded the saved items and amounted to nearly twenty ton from the inside of the house alone. With a further five ton of waste from the garden an two whole days of garden clearing.

Property And Garden Cleared Ready For Sale

The work was completed on schedule and the keys handed back to a very satisfied client on the friday ready for the estate agent to arrange viewings on the Saturday. The nieghbours were very friendly while we were working at the property and expressed their concern for the family involved but at the same time were pleasd to see the house cleared and cleaned as their had been a problem with mice and rats for a few years.
