The Process

 

First things first!

Together we will have a look at the area in question and discuss what you hope to achieve - for instance, improved storage for a special collection or finding a new home for toys your children have outgrown. Maybe you're about to move house or simply want to free up some space.

 

De-Cluttering

I prefer to work with you, the client, at all times. However, if you wish to get on with something else, then I can of course work by myself. Please remember though, that I will need your input at some point, because only you can decide the ultimate fate of your clutter.

 

As we go through your belongings together we will decide which items will stay and which are to go. The items will be categorised as we go along so that at the end of the process it is clear what is going where. Wherever possible the aim is to recycle, rather than simply consigning things to the bin.

 

At the end of the process your room will be clutter free and you will have a clear idea of how to deal with all the items that have been removed.

 

Please note that there is no need to provide items such as bin bags, these are supplied as part of the service.

 

Storage solutions

Ultimately you will end up with just those items you have decided to keep. I will offer practical solutions on the best way to store your treasured belongings, enabling you to find what you want - when you want it!

 

Clutter Clearer's Handbook

I will leave you with a copy of 'The Clutter Clearer's Handbook'. This booklet explains the whole ethos of the Organised Chaos process and includes lots of useful information. It will prove invaluable as you adapt to your new clutter-free lifestyle.

 

Follow-up appointments

Having experienced the Organised Chaos solution to your clutter problem, you may have concerns about keeping the area tidy. A regular or one-off follow up appointment is the answer. One month after your de-cluttering session you will receive a free follow-up telephone appointment. This is an ideal opportunity to discuss any problems you may have with clutter that just won't go away! Should you need another visit then this can be quoted according to your requirements.

 

I look forward to speaking to you soon!

This gives me the opportunity to explain how I can help you tackle your clutter in a way that suits you. Every client is different; there is no 'one size fits all' in the world of de-cluttering.

 

There is no need to feel embarrassed; your clutter certainly won't be the worst I've seen! Sorting through personal possessions can of course be emotionally challenging. Organised Chaos provides encouragement and sensitive support throughout the process, making it virtually painless and ultimately rewarding.

 

What about cost?

My basic hourly rate is £30. You can either book a set number of hours, or for the de-cluttering of a specific area the arrangement can be more flexible. Generally speaking, an average room will take between four and five hours to de-clutter so a rough idea of cost would be between £120 and £150. However, please bear in mind that not all rooms are average and clutter comes in many shapes and forms!
