Reclaim the Space

We will talk to you about the options available - some items can be reused by others , recycled for another purpose or re-homed. We can help you find organisations who will collect larger items/furniture that can be used by someone else. When you agree that an item has served it’s purpose, we can assist you to remove from your home , either via your Council collection service, booking a hard -waste collection or taking it away with us (where practical).

We are not a stand-alone cleaning service as we focus on supporting people to move through the process of being able to discard items (or reduce the acquisition of new items). We will do a basic clean of areas as we work with you (ie wiping out a cupboard before returning items) but if you require regular cleaning support we can help you find this support.

If your home needs a larger clean (ie walls, carpets cleaned, bathrooms) or we agree that a “skip” is needed, we will work with you to find a suitable service.

Before we agree to work together, we will discuss any concerns you might have about the process. We understand decluttering can be a vey confronting and will always respecting that we are in your home and you are in control of what happens (or doesn’t happen).

No, our work does not focus on simply organising and storing items. We work with people who are unable to have safe functional use of their homes due to the volume of items they have acquired. Typically this may mean people are unable to sleep in their beds, use their bathrooms and/or safely cook a meal in their kitchen. The volume of possessions may also mean people are embarrassed to have family/friends visit.

We believe that people can better focus on creating safe and usable spaces when they feel physical and psychological well. This work can be stressful and at times distressing so it’s important to support people to develop their resilience and coping skills as they make progress towards their goals.
