Decluttering services

We’re here to help, not to impose our own agenda.

People generally come to us in a time of transition or vulnerability in their lives. Our aim is to give you the tools to help you acheive your decluttering goals, whether you want to feel comfortable inviting visitors over, clear the garage, or simply deal with items at the back of cupboards.

Our in-person services are charged at a flat hourly rate of $150/hour (including GST).

We also offer fixed pricing for downsizing kickstarter sessions and floor plans to help you get clear on how to move forward.

“After hearing Melissa at her talk at Hughes Community Centre I decided to ask her help using my birthday money. I certainly did not need to buy any more stuff! And this was the best things I have done for a long time…Many thanks to Melissa and Nicola for their kindness and gentleness…”

Q & A

We can work with you to identify “low hanging fruit” to make quick gains, such as your garage, shed, or spare bedroom which can also serve as useful staging areas for the rest of the project.

Our recommended session duration is three hours, as we find this is the necessary amount of time to make meaningful progress without being physically or mentally exhausting.  Where a client is dealing with chronic illness or other challenges, we can also offer two hour sessions.

Your job is to tell us your preferences – we will do all of the physical work needed to help you declutter and downsize. We can also sort ahead of your decision-making.

Typically, you will work with one team member, once a week as your schedule allows. For more intensive in-home projects, such as a full garage clearance or a rush move, we may suggest two or more team members working in tandem to lighten the load.

We utilise a “maybe” pile or box for difficult or sentimental items, allowing you the grace and time to revisit those decisions later without losing momentum.

Yes, we can coordinate the delivery of residential secure shredding bins to your home, which is a cost-effective way to dispose of bulk sensitive documents without the hassle of feeding papers individually into a shredder.

We endeavour to leave your home tidy and can take certain types of waste in our cars, such as paper/cardboard recycling, eWaste (electronics), and specialty donation items.  Alternatively, we can suggest cost effective transport services to transport items in bulk from your garage.

Our team includes members trained by Hoarding Home Solutions who understand that clutter is often circumstantial and work with high levels of empathy to achieve manageable goals.

We have an extensive network of local contacts to find end-users for niche items, ensuring your possessions go to people or charities that will truly appreciate them.

Yes, we are fully covered by professional indemnity, public liability, and workers compensation insurance to ensure the protection of our clients and team
