How it works
There are dozens of reasons why people use the services of Sorted Home. Every project is different and every client works at a different speed, so I've found it best to book in just one day to make a start. At the end of that day, we will have a good idea of how we work together, what needs to be done and how long it will take us. Some clients just need help to get started and will then be able to continue on their own.
If I'm helping you source a supplier or service, or if I'm setting up a time-saving system for you, we'll agree how long the task will take and I'll just get on with it.
I'll source appropriate storage containers and will arrive with everything we'll need, from bin bags to boxes and packing tape to Post-its. I'll even bring lunch, so that you don't have to do a thing before I arrive. And I'll arrange for anything you don't want to keep to be recycled, donated to charity or sold. I'll take away small quantities of unwanted stuff and can arrange for bigger items or larger quantities to be collected from you. If you have something valuable that you'd like to sell, I can arrange for it to be professionally valued. So, you might even make money.
I find it works best if we work alongside each other so that I can help you decide what to keep and what to let go of without you feeling overwhelmed by the task in hand.
Together we'll agree certain principles to ensure clutter doesn't build up again, such as:
- Deciding on the quantity of, say, mugs, or bags, or duvets or shoes you need, then allocating the appropriate storage space and adopting a 'one in/one out' policy
- Setting up a memorabilia box for precious mementos
- Storing related things together. For example, storing wrapping paper, gift tags, ribbons, greetings cards, sellotape and scissors all in the same place
- Collecting up everything that's broken and deciding whether to ditch items or mend them
