Decluttering Professionals in Basildon, Essex

“I was moving house and although upsizing had limited loft space. The opposite of what I had in the house I was moving out of. I have always been a hoarder and had kept literally everything from theatre programmes to bus tickets, Birthday cards and letters to school books, cuddly toys to clothes. I needed to declutter and fast and I didn’t know where to start as it was like my whole life was in these of boxes and truth be told I did not want to have to throw any of it out. Maria was amazing. What was a huge mountain to climb for me she made seem so easy. It was an extremely emotional process for me but Maria made me realise I didn’t need boxes and boxes of stuff. I have kept the very special items but now have one memory box, rather than 100! I am forever grateful as since moving I have realised all those boxes would have been a total burden and what is the point in moving into a lovely new home and taking all your junk with you only to hide it away?”

“I enlisted Chloë’s help because I had loads of stuff that I didn’t really need but I was struggling to make the decision to get rid of anything – I always find reasons not to. I like things to be clean and organised, but my house was starting to look pretty untidy, especially my home office. Chloë was brilliant at focussing my attention on the task at hand and keeping the momentum going throughout our sessions. She helped me to objectively evaluate each item and let go of those that I just didn’t need. She also advised on storage solutions for my office and worked with me to organise the room once all the clutter was gone. I love the result. My office is now somewhere I enjoy working and I’m no longer weighed down by the mess.”

“Incredibly friendly and professional service. Carrie helped me clear all the clutter out of my bedroom and create a serene and calm space. She was also able to advise on the best methods of recycling and went above and beyond by taking 2 car loads of stuff to the charity shop for me.”

“Lua helped organise three rooms in our house. She was wonderful to work with, has a great eye for detail, great ideas and has transformed the rooms!”

“Johanna was brilliant! She completely turned around my open-plan living room which had become a bit of a dumping ground for my kids' toys and all our...stuff. She has a really creative eye and a vision of space and how best to use it. She also spruced up some of my tired old furniture, including a mirror I was about to take to the dump which she sprayed gold (and which I now love), and I can honestly say I feel like I've moved house! I can truly recommend Johanna as a hard-working, speedy, creative person who has a great eye but is also a really good listener.”

“All Organised sorted out a seriously over-cluttered garage in a couple of days - Nicki and Heidi have a great, logical approach to problem-solving, and are very hardworking and easy to work with. In addition to sorting out the garage, we had put a lot of furniture and miscellaneous bits and pieces in off-site storage, which Nicki and Heidi completely sorted out - we had thought it was an impossible task. It would have taken us weeks to get through all of this, and they were great value to boot. We would recommend them unreservedly to anyone who needs a house, garage or outbuilding de-cluttered, re-organised - or emptied.”

“I booked Marianne to organise my newborn daughter’s nursery. Having only recently welcomed my daughter into the world I was feeling overwhelmed with not just the amount of stuff we had bought her but also with how many gifts she had received. I wanted my new daughters room to be perfect and organised but knew that I would struggle to achieve this whilst looking after a newborn. At the initial consultation Marianne had so many great ideas and took note of everything I said I wanted for the room. She helped me find storage solutions and even some small furniture items within my budget. She also ordered and put the storage items together for me. I am so pleased with the end result, the room looks beautiful, everything has its own place and it’s easy to locate items. Marianne also made sure that I have space for new items which has made it really easy to keep the room organised. I love what she has done with some old craft items that I had stored away, organising them into a lovely box so that my daughter can use them when she grows up. I would recommend MarianneCan to anyone, she is so organised and professional, as well as friendly. She made the whole process so easy especially for someone who’s limited on time.”

“'I didn't know how one person and a couple of time slots could make a meaningful change to my home, but Rebecca completely changed how I saw the space and what I could get from it. We sorted through clutter I hadn't even noticed was there because it had become so familiar, leaving me with open surfaces and a real sense of calm. She gave practical tips on more efficient storage and while she never pushed me to get rid of anything, she gave me easy ways to work out what I really value and need in my home, meaning parting with things I thought I couldn't became easy and painless. The results were so inspiring that I carried on sorting and rearranging of my own accord and am so much happier with my living space. We have gone from drowning in clutter to feeling back in control of our space and our little one bed feels twice the size. Thank you so much, Conscious Space!”

“Do you feel buried under your possessions, so overwhelmed you want to run away? My husband and I are in our 60s and have been together almost 2/3rds of it. So excuse most of the Is and MYs as they should be WEs and OURs. I am trying to coax other like-minded sorts to exert both their bodies and wallets into the choice I made to hire Caroline if they live near me or find her clone if they are afar. That decision literally changed my life. Does that sound either too dramatic or like I'm inviting you to join a cult? Although I may not have been a horder in the clinical sense, I am no longer submerged under piles of, well piles. No longer do I feel too embarrassed to have anyone drop by. I can't say it has not been a lot of work and expense on my part. Caroline works side by side with you. Patiently guiding, persistently questioning. Even if she wanted to, how could she possibly go through my closet or kitchen cupboards and know what to keep? Once we set up a plan, she tirelessly and quickly set to transforming my piles into keep, trash, recycle, rehome etc.. Once that was under control, we set about restoring to their former glory all of the things remaining. It is now over two years later and, mostly due to Caroline, I am now finishing a massive home remodel. She even assisted in finding all of the professionals for this transformation. Without her prodding me along I never could have created this beautiful home. I have even started to improve other facets of my life. It's funny how getting one's possessions in order can have a knock-on effect. If we can't enjoy whatever we accumulated in life, why accumulate? Above all she is discreet and kindly patient. No job is too big or small for her assistance. Maybe it's just your closet or office or kitchen you need her skills for. Maybe it's preparing your home for your first baby, or your retirement. Above all I think everyone would agree my house looks like MY house, not Caroline's or my builder's but MINE. No declutter- organiser is doing their job if the end result is anyone's except the clients'.”

“Agathe did an amazing job organising my new home! I couldn’t recommend her more! It looks so wonderful now. So satisfying. She is highly professional and even gave me tips to help me keep my house tidy (especially my kitchen cupboards )... If you are looking for someone to organise your home, or maybe just a room, look no further!”
