Decluttering, Downsizing, Home Clearance and Selling
From sorting to the final clearance, I can manage the process for you.
Whether you’re downsizing to a smaller home, preparing for a move, helping a loved one relocate or facing the task of clearing a property, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Reducing a lifetime’s worth of belongings is a daunting and emotional task and with families busier than ever and living further apart, finding the support you need can be difficult.
At Trade My Clutter, I offer a complete, hands-on service that brings together downsizing support, decluttering and house clearance, with a focus on making the process as straightforward, cost-effective and sustainable as possible.
I work alongside you to sort through your belongings, helping you decide what to take to your next home and what you no longer need. Rather than simply organising your possessions or clearing everything away, I look at the options for each item and find the most appropriate way forward.
Items with resale value may be sold on your behalf, helping you recover some of the cost of the service and give them a new lease of life. Usable belongings are directed towards charities or opportunities for reuse, wherever possible. For everything that remains, I arrange appropriate clearance and waste solutions, whether through trusted clearance partners or hiring a skip and managing the work myself.
From the first sort to the final clearance, I can manage the process for you. My approach is personal and practical. I understand that a home is more than just a collection of possessions, and that moving on can be an emotional experience as well as a physical one.
While I specialise in senior moves, I assist clients of all ages, small businesses, tradespeople, charities, schools, and non-profit organizations. I also work with individuals who face additional challenges when managing their homes and belongings, including those living with hoarding behaviours, ADHD, autism, disabilities or mental and physical health conditions. I understand the process can feel overwhelming for many reasons and I offer patient, non-judgemental, practical support tailored to each persons individual needs and circumstances.
PERSONAL AND COMPASSIONATE SERVICE. I manage the entire process from start to finish, saving you time and alleviating stress. I work with respect, integrity, and at your pace, offering you a personal and compassionate service.
ECO-FRIENDLY. My service is eco-friendly, aiming to maximize the reuse, resale, and recycling of items, significantly reducing landfill waste—a priority often appreciated by my clients.
SECOND HAND SELLING. I have over 17 years of experience selling on eBay, Etsy, and Vinterior, and since 2019, I have operated my own independent vintage and antique business. Through these platforms, I can sell any items of value on your behalf
What my customers say
‘I’m very grateful for the excellent service you provided in helping me to declutter my house. It was a pleasure to work with someone who’s so friendly, expert and professional. I would certainly want to work with you again in the future and will recommend your service to friends and family’
‘When my Father passed away recently, I was left with the unbelievably mammoth job of clearing a large house. Louise came guided me through a stressful and upsetting time with compassion and knowledge. She managed to sell lots of items and took away a huge amount of stress and gave me a great service. She valued and advised what would and wouldn’t sell and kept me updated, which was particularly helpful, as I don’t live in the country. Above and beyond.’
