We contacted this firm in the morning and they attended around lunchtime, very fast response and resolved our wasp problem within no time at all. Extremely professional and amazing service taking in all measures you would expect during the lock-down due to Covid-19.

Cannot praise this firm enough as we had a really bad wasp problem and even during the lockdown they came out. Very fast response and kept a safe distance at all times. Wonderful service well done!!

Helpful people to speak to on the phone. Prompt and efficient service, wasp nest dealt with no fuss and almost immediate result. Very competitive price for a full professional service with back up guaranteed for peace of mind. Everyone i dealt with including Chris who came out to the house was friendly and helpful. Very glad that i chose this company, would highly recommend them.

We have a regular contract with Independent Pest Control for our HMO's and have always found them, reliable, trustworthy and value for money. Recently we required urgent emergency support and IPC team members demonstrated just how they go above and beyond caring for their customers and wider community. We would highly recommend Independent Pest Control

I really can't thank Ian and his team enough. I use a wide range of companies on an almost daily basis, very few of whom come close to the levels of service I experienced from Independent Pest Control. From start to finish their technician Craig showed great knowledge and professionalism in dealing with the problem. This morning was the final visit and the property is now totally free from rodents. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending IPC. Thank you once again Ian.

I contacted Ian regarding a wasp nest in our roof space. The very next day we had Mark come and visit. Mark is an asset to the company providing a brilliant service; from calling ahead with an ETA, to a timely arrival with a very professional & friendly manner. Mark very clearly knows his stuff and went straight to the nest, treated it from inside and out whilst explaining to us what he was doing and what to expect next.

FAQs About Our Hoarder Clearances & Cleaning

What is hoarding?

Hoarding is a psychological disorder characterised by the excessive accumulation of items, storing them in a disorganised and chaotic manner, and an inability to discard them.

As the clutter grows, hoarding can create hazardous conditions, including fire risks, unsanitary environments, and restricted access to essential areas of the home, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and exits.

Over time, the accumulation of items can cause significant distress to the individual’s family and friends who wish to help. Attempting to clean up the clutter without the person’s readiness can exacerbate the situation. Therefore, it’s crucial that cleanup efforts are carried out with patience and the individual’s consent.

What are the five levels of hoarding?

Level 1 – Mild Clutter: Minimal clutter with all exits and entrances accessible. No odours, pest infestations, or structural damage. Normal housekeeping standards are maintained.

Level 2 – Moderate Clutter: Moderate clutter with one or more blocked exits, some light odours, and minor pet damage. Limited housekeeping, and a few areas may be inaccessible.

Level 3 – Heavy Clutter: Significant clutter with blocked exits, strong odours, visible mould, and pests. Rooms are largely unusable, and structural damage may be present.

Level 4 – Severe Clutter: Severe clutter with multiple blocked exits, pervasive odours, extensive mould, and pest infestations. Most areas are inaccessible, with major structural damage and compromised living conditions.

Level 5 – Extreme Clutter: Extreme clutter with all exits blocked, overwhelming odours, severe mould, and infestations. Total inaccessibility of rooms, severe structural damage, and hazardous living conditions requiring immediate intervention.

What does a hoarding service include?

The first stage of hoarder cleaning generally involves sorting through items with a property, and separating out items which are no longer needed, to be removed. After this, a thorough deep clean of the property is often conducted to restore a safe and habitable living environment. This includes disinfecting and decominating the property and all services. Once the property is cleaned, all waste that is removed should be disposed of following UK regulatory guidelines.
