Room decluttered from chaos to usable space. I'll help you sort through everything, organise what's staying, and shift what's going - whether that's charity shop, tip, or just to another room where it actually belongs.
When Did It Get This Bad?
It happens to everyone. Spare room becomes the dumping ground, garage fills up with "might need that someday" stuff, or the cupboard becomes genuinely dangerous to open.
Then one day you actually need to use that space and... where do you even start?
💡 Here's the thing: You don't need a professional organiser with colour-coded bins. You need someone to help shift stuff, make decisions, and actually get it done.
Why It's Hard To Do Alone
| The Problem | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Overwhelm | Too much stuff, brain shuts down, nothing happens |
| Decisions | Every single item needs a choice - exhausting |
| Heavy stuff | Can't move the big things blocking everything else |
| Time | Takes longer alone, easy to give up halfway |
With help: Someone keeps you moving, shifts the heavy stuff, bags things up, and suddenly it's done in an afternoon instead of "someday when I have energy."
What We'll Do
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Sort | Everything into clear piles - keep, donate, bin, relocate |
| Organise | Keep items arranged sensibly where you'll use them |
| Clear | Donation bags ready, rubbish gone, space reclaimed |
🔧 Practical Approach
I'm not here to judge your life choices. Just to help get your space back.
📦 What You'll Have After
- Room you can actually walk into
- Things you use where you can find them
- Stuff you don't want dealt with properly
- No more "I'll sort that room someday"
Pricing Guide

What to Expect
Step 1: Work Out The Plan
We'll look at the space together, talk about what you want to achieve (empty it completely? just make it usable?), and figure out the approach. I'll grab bags and boxes.
Step 2: Sort Everything
I'll pull stuff out, you'll say keep/donate/bin/relocate. We move fast - no overthinking. Things get sorted into clear piles as we go.
Step 3: Organise & Clear
Keep items go back sensibly organised. Donations get bagged for the charity shop. Rubbish gets shifted. You get your room back.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle it yourself? Here's how to actually make it happen:
🗑️ Set up before you start
- Get bin bags (lots of them)
- Have boxes for keep/donate/relocate/bin
- Clear a sorting area (floor space or table)
- Put music on - makes it less depressing
📋 The system that works
- Empty one section completely (don't try to do the whole room at once)
- Touch each item once - immediate decision, no "maybe" pile
- Keep moving - you can always retrieve something from the charity bag if you panic
- Bag donations immediately so you can't change your mind
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Starting without a plan (you'll just move piles around)
- Creating a "maybe" pile (it never gets dealt with)
- Stopping halfway (worse than not starting)
- Being precious about broken/damaged stuff (be honest - will you actually fix it?)
💡 Pro trick: Take before photos. When you're three hours in and exhausted, looking at the before photo reminds you why you're doing this. Also weirdly satisfying.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Doing multiple rooms? Book a longer session - I'm already there, we're in the zone, might as well keep going. Always easier than coming back another day when motivation has died.
Charitable donations: I can drop stuff at charity shops if you're getting rid of decent items - saves you an extra job. Just mention it when booking.
Old Exeter houses: Your loft is probably stuffed with the previous owner's junk too. Happens all the time. We find some interesting stuff in these old properties.
Tip runs: If there's a lot of rubbish, I can do a tip run but that's usually a separate cost depending on what needs shifting. I'll let you know on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the room decluttering service?
I help you sort through the chaos - we'll go through everything in the room, decide what stays and what goes, organise what's left sensibly, and I'll help shift the stuff you're getting rid of. Think of it as an extra pair of hands who won't judge the state of things.
Do I need to be there while you're decluttering?
Yes - you're making all the decisions about what stays and what goes. I'm there to do the heavy lifting, shift things around, and keep the process moving. You point, I shift. Works well.
What happens to the stuff I'm getting rid of?
We'll bag up donation items ready for the charity shop, and I can take rubbish to the tip if needed (might be an extra charge depending on how much). Anything you want to sell or keep for someone else gets put aside separately.
How long does a room take?
Depends how cluttered it is, honestly. A bedroom with clothes everywhere might be 2-3 hours. A garage that's not been touched in years could be most of a day. I'll give you a better estimate once I see it.
Can you help decide what to keep?
I can offer a practical perspective - 'have you used this in the last year?' - but all decisions are yours. Some people find it helpful having someone there who's not emotionally attached to the stuff.
