The Hoarder Clearance Process in Kent: What to Expect Step by Step

28 April 2026 7 min readBy ATG Cleaning Ltd

Whether you're a family member, social worker, housing officer or landlord, organising a hoarder clearance for the first time is daunting. This is exactly what happens when you call ATG Cleaning for a hoarder clearance anywhere in Kent — start to finish.

Step 1 — The first call (no judgement, no pressure)

When you call 07711 794 975, you'll speak to a real person. We'll ask a few sensitive questions — property size, severity, whether there are biohazards or pests, who lives there, and whether the resident knows about the clearance.

No commitment, no judgement, no awkward questions. We've heard everything.

Step 2 — Discreet site visit

We attend in an unmarked vehicle at a time that works for you. Neighbours won't know what's happening. We assess the property, identify biohazards and pests, and discuss what the resident (if present) is happy to keep, salvage or discard.

Step 3 — Itemised written quote

You receive a clear, itemised quote covering clearance, biohazard decontamination, deep clean, deodorisation, pest treatment and licensed waste disposal. No surprises, no day-rate ambiguity.

Step 4 — Sympathetic clearance

Where possible we work alongside the resident or family at their pace. Sentimental items are preserved. Everything else is sorted into recycling, charity, general waste and licensed clinical/hazardous streams. Every kilogram is documented.

Step 5 — Biohazard decontamination

Where there is faecal matter, blood, bodily fluids, decomposed food or pest contamination, we decontaminate with hospital-grade chemistry, BBP-rated PPE and HEPA air scrubbing. Porous materials are removed where required.

Step 6 — Industrial deep clean & odour neutralisation

Every surface is deep cleaned. Floors are stripped and treated. Ozone shock treatment fully eliminates odour rather than masking it.

Step 7 — Pest treatment & prevention

Where pests are present we coordinate full treatment and proof entry points so the problem doesn't return.

Step 8 — Full reinstatement

The property is handed back ready for the resident to live in safely, or for the landlord to re-let. We can also coordinate redecoration and minor repairs.
