Hoarded House Clearance Bridgend

We are equipped to handle almost any type of waste. The only exception is where unsafe or unidentifiable items are found — depending on the hazard, a specialist company may need to deal with them. Our team is trained to deal with most hazardous items and has the procedures and equipment to handle them properly.

Cost depends mainly on how much there is to clear and what it is: whether one or two people are needed, whether anything has to be dismantled, and how many trips it will take. It also depends on where things are going — items for charity, auction, recycling and disposal are handled differently, and separating them takes time, although an item that sells well at auction can offset some of the cost. The quickest way to an accurate price is to send us photos of what needs clearing. We quote from the photos, which saves a visit and avoids any disagreement later about what the quote included.

If the property has little space at the front, a skip on the road needs council permission and risks a fine without it — none of that applies to our service, which covers bulky items too. We also sort the waste as we load it, so far more can be reused or recycled.

The sheer volume of possessions can be overwhelming, although we have probably seen it before. Items may be piled high and tightly packed, making it hard to move through the house at first. People who hoard often have strong emotional attachments to their possessions, which can make letting go difficult. Hoarded houses can also hide hazards such as mould, pests or structural damage that need care. It takes patience, understanding and a systematic approach.
