When "I'll Sort That Out" Has Been on the List for 2 Years
Spare room, garage, shed - we all have that space. The one we shut the door on.
It started as "just temporary storage" and somehow became a solid wall of stuff you can't even see anymore. The thought of tackling it alone is overwhelming, so it just sits there, getting worse.
💡 Pro tip: The hardest part of decluttering is starting. Once you've got someone there helping, momentum builds and it's nowhere near as bad as you thought.

What to Expect
Step 1: Plan
Quick look at the space, work out approach - usually start one corner and work systematically through.
Step 2: Sort
Pull everything out, sort into piles - keep, donate, bin. You decide, I move and organize.
Step 3: Reorganize
What's staying goes back neatly. What's going gets loaded for charity shop/tip runs.
Step 4: Dispose
I can do charity shop and tip runs as part of the session, or help load your car.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle it yourself? Here's a system that works:
🗂️ The four-box method
- Keep box - definitely staying, you use it
- Donate box - good condition, don't need it
- Bin box - broken, worn out, no good to anyone
- Decide later box - genuinely can't decide (limit this!)
📋 Decluttering approach
- Set a timer - work in 30-minute bursts
- Start small - one corner, one shelf, one box
- Finish what you start - don't move to another area
- Get rid of rubbish immediately - out to bin, not just moved
- Put "keeps" away properly - not just in a new pile
🤔 Decision-making rules
- Used in last year? Keep
- Has sentimental value? Keep
- "Might need someday"? Probably bin (you won't)
- Duplicates of things? Keep best one, bin the rest
- Broken "to fix"? If you haven't fixed it in 6 months, you won't
📦 Staying organized after
- Only keep what you actually use
- Everything needs a home
- Clear out regularly (twice a year minimum)
- Don't use "temporary" storage (it becomes permanent)
⚠️ Common pitfalls
- Starting too ambitious (whole house at once = giving up)
- Not removing stuff immediately (just shifts the problem)
- The "maybe" pile gets too big (be brutal)
- Getting distracted by items (stay focused on the task)
💡 Pro trick: Take before photos. When you're halfway through and it looks worse than when you started (normal), the photos remind you it's actually progress.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🚚 Need disposal help? I've got a van. Charity shop runs, tip runs, recycling center - all part of the service. Much easier than trying to fit it all in your car.
This is not therapy - I'm here for practical physical help, not life coaching. But sometimes having someone there who isn't emotionally attached to your stuff makes decisions easier.
Elderly relatives' houses - if you're clearing a parent's or grandparent's house, I can help. It's tough emotionally; at least the physical work doesn't have to be.
Not a cleaning service - I'll help declutter and organize, but I don't deep-clean. Once the space is clear, you might want to clean it properly before reorganizing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of decluttering help do you provide?
Practical, hands-on help - moving stuff, sorting into keep/donate/bin piles, carrying things to the car/van, reorganizing what's staying. Not a professional organizer, just someone who'll help you physically sort through it all without judgment.
Can you help me decide what to keep?
I can help move things and suggest practical solutions, but decisions about what to keep are yours. I'm here for the physical work - lifting, sorting, carrying - and moral support. You know what you want to keep.
What happens to the stuff I'm getting rid of?
We decide together - charity shop run for good stuff, tip for rubbish, clothes bank for textiles. I can do those runs as part of the job, or help you load your car if you're doing it yourself.
How long does decluttering take?
Depends on the space and how much stuff. Spare room might be 1-2 hours, garage could be 2-3 hours, whole house over multiple visits. I charge by the hour so you control how long we spend.
Will you judge my mess?
Absolutely not. Everyone's house has areas that get out of control. Garages, sheds, spare rooms, under stairs - they all fill up. I'm just here to help you sort it out, not judge how it got that way.
