Naturally, however, our services are not restricted to clearing the homes of the recently deceased. The Cluttered House Clearance Company is perfectly happy to discuss any job in absolute confidence. We offer a professional, friendly service when clearing a hoarder’s house, and our team are aware of the psychology behind hoarding.

Cleaning a hoarder’s house is not just intimidating, though. It can also be dangerous. Hoarding is a psychological condition, recognised and acknowledged by the World Health Organisation. If a hoarder experiences difficulties with their mental and emotional health, physical well-being will not always be acknowledged. This is why clearing a hoarder’s house is always best left to a professional team.

Just some of the potential risks that arise when clearing a hoarder’s house include:

• Slips, trips and falls, caused by excessive items discarded and disguised on the ground. The homes of many hoarders are labyrinths of superfluous objects. The hoarder themselves knows a safe path from room to room, but visitors do not. This makes personal injury a prominent risk.
• Potential for injury caused by objects falling from height. Even paper, when stacked high, can be extremely dangerous. One sheet may not be a risk, beyond a potential paper cut. A telephone book falling from several feet, however, is hugely dangerous.
• Dangerous chemicals, or mould spores growing upon walls. When an individual lives within a hoarding environment, they stop observing uncharacteristic smells or warning signs. This does not mean they are not apparent, however, and they can be extremely hazardous when breathed in.
• Animal and insect infestations. Regardless of whether an individual has a tendency to hoard objects or animals, wildlife will set up home in their environment. The homes of many hoarders will be subject to various infestations of bugs, vermin and other animals. This leaves any visitor at risk of an animal attack.
• Soiled walls, doors and floor. As discussed, many properties occupied by a hoarder will attract animals. These visitors leave will traces of their faecal matter, blood and urine behind, all of which could potentially spread disease. Human bodily fluids may also be located.
• The risk of structural damage to a property. In most cases, the home of a hoarder will undergo serious structural damage. This may be obvious to the naked eye, such as water damage, or it may be considerably subtler. Either way, it requires a professional team to negotiate this situation safely.

These are just some of the hazards associated with clearing a hoarder’s house. As you’ll see, it is not a task for the faint-hearted! Thankfully, The Cluttered House Clearance Company are on-hand to assist, no matter where you’re based in the country.
