Sensitive property clearance with discretion

A heavily cluttered or unsanitary home calls for a practical, respectful discussion without judgement.

The situation and its consequences

The first step is identifying usable spaces and belongings to protect. Personal papers and objects must not be treated as ordinary waste without instructions.

Work to describe in your enquiry

Staged sorting and clearance, cleaning, any necessary treatment and repairs assessed separately; coordination with an identified relative or social contact where appropriate.

Prepare a useful brief

Send an overview and close-up photographs, the municipality, the type of property, any visible model references, access conditions and the result you expect. Where several tasks are involved, list them separately. Photos help prepare the discussion but do not always replace an on-site assessment.

Scope, options and costs

A local repair, replacement or combined assignment may involve different operations. The estimate depends on the actual scope, materials, access and any additional work. No price, start date, completion time or availability is guaranteed here. If a paid site visit is proposed, its terms must be agreed beforehand.

Illustrative working scenario

An illustrative plan begins with essential rooms, clearly marked belongings to retain and agreed stages of cleaning.

This is an illustrative scenario, not a completed FFS assignment or client reference.

Frequently asked questions

Must everything be thrown away?

No, identify what stays and what remains undecided.

Can a relative or CPAS help prepare the request?

An identified contact can assist with the people concerned.

Is there a fixed price?

No, volume, access and condition determine the scope.

Can I request a quote from a photo?

Photos can help establish the scope; further information or an inspection may be needed before an estimate.
