Decluttering
Motivating yourself or a loved one to make decisions about possessions can be difficult, especially when a home has become overwhelmingly muddled.

1 / First contact
Lofty Heights receives an initial telephone enquiry and referral – usually from social services, mental health trusts, housing providers and voluntary organisations, although it can be from an individual.
2 / Visiting you at home
A joint assessment home visit is arranged to identify the decluttering support required. Taking a person-centred approach, we make sure you feel in control over the possessions you wish to keep or part with. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck, we sensitively help you arrive at decisions to help you reach your decluttering goals.
We may use our Clutter Scale to help with the assessment.
3 / Estimating costs
We provide the referring agency or you with an estimated cost based on how long the decluttering process is likely to take. We carefully consider how easy it will be for you to part with your possessions, how much time you will need to adjust, and whether there are any waste disposal requirements.
4 / Agreeing on a date
Once the estimate has been accepted and funding has been confirmed, we discuss and allocate suitable dates. Please note, if you are self-funding, a 50% deposit of the estimated price must be paid in advance of scheduling a time.
5 / Decluttering
Working to your decluttering goals (we always request that you are present), we arrive at your home as agreed and start the sensitive yet structured process of decluttering.
6 / Completion
On completion of our decluttering service, an invoice is sent either to the referring agency or you as an individual to pay the balance within 14 days.
“Thank you Lofty Heights, you have been stars, saved us from a disaster!”
