Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

Hoarders Property Clearance | Hoarders & The Allure

Hoarders Property Clearance | Hoarders & The Allure

Those battling obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and in particular a problem with hoarding, are driven by what one psychologist has called “the allure of opportunity”.

According to Randy Frost, a psychologist who has conducted much research on hoarding, claimed that it is the potential or prospective use of an item that drives hoarders to store it.

Clearing a hoarder’s house? Northern House Clearance Company are compulsive hoarding cleaning and house clearance specialists – We are a fully licensed and registered company to clear, clean & declutter hoarded properties.

We are fully licensed with the UK environment agency (Environment Agency Waste Carrier License NO #: CBDU375404), as well as being fully insured to undertake hoarded cluttered house clearance, we are also members of AFTA.ORG.UK the Anti Fly Tipping Association

He spoke to a writer for the NYTimes.com, Carina Chocano, about his thoughts. According to Chocano, who interviewed Frost, when in full flight, a “kind of magical thinking takes hold” of hoarders.

She said: “What appeals is the idea that something – anything – of value lurks beneath the surface, a surface that looks to everybody else like a giant pile of junk.”

Furthermore, once they have purchased and stored an item, hoarders will take a fairytale-like approach to it, causing items to feel like “externalized parts of themselves.” If they got rid of these items, they’d feel like all their hopes and dreams had coming crashing down, Chocano added.

However the only real way to overcome hoarding is to undergo therapy and do a complete house clearance, so hoarders sometimes have to confront these very real fears face on.

The writer concluded by stating that hoarders also need to overcome their impulsive nature in order to combat their symptoms.
