decluttering service recommendations?


Recommended Posts

I'm interested to hear from anyone who has paid for help to declutter. The clutter in my house is getting me down so much and I don't have time or energy to tackle it on my own. Imminently due baby no 3 and I feel if we don't sort it now it will just get worse and worse (it's not actually that bad, it's just there is never any time to deal with it). While my natural instinct is to feel that I should just get on with it and it's ridiculous to pay someone to help, I have been thinking that for years and have not got on with it.

Has anyone used a declutterer and been happy with service? Any recommendations? Anybody have a nanny or cleaner with spare time who also happens to just have a good way with storage solutions (my previous nanny was like that but she has left UK now). Many thanks.

I used Sally from Declutter Me based in Crystal Palace in July this year to clear out after a house move (I should have done it before the move!) and it was a really positive experience. Her website is: http://declutterme.london



Sally is incredibly efficient and helped me to make quick and sensible decisions and we cleared out about ten black sacks of items for charity and another eight black sacks of rubbish, freeing up a huge amount of space. The house looks a lot better as I was suffocating with 'stuff'. Sally will also take the items to the charity shops in her van for an additional fee. Please PM me if you want more information.

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
