1. What should I expect from the decluttering process?
We’ll start with a free initial consultation of up to 30 minutes to discuss your vision. You will then receive a quote with some potential dates for booking your session. During your session, we will categorise, declutter and organise the items in your space based on your vision and lifestyle. You have the option for me to remove any unwanted items from your home or dispose of them yourself.
2. How long does the decluttering process take?
​
The duration depends on the size of the space, the complexity of the project and the pace of your decision making. Sessions start from 3 hours and further or longer sessions can be booked as needed.
3. How much will it cost to work with you?
​
Costs will vary depending on the size of the space, the complexity of the project and the location. For a free, no-obligation quote, fill in the form on the contact page or email hello@dreamorganised.co.uk and we’ll start a conversation about your decluttering and organising goals.
4. Will you make me get rid of things?
​
No! Your belongings are yours and all decisions remain with you. As part of the decluttering process, I will encourage you to think deeply about the items in your space by asking questions and offering recommendations for you to consider.
5. Do I need to be present during the decluttering and organising process?
​
Sessions are collaborative and your presence will guide me to understand your preferences and enable you to make decisions about which items can be decluttered. I cannot make decisions about what to discard on your behalf.
6. Can you help with specific rooms or does it need to be my whole home?
​
The choice is yours! I will declutter and organise anything from cupboards to entire houses and everything in-between.
7. Can you help with emotional decluttering?
​
Yes – much of the decluttering process is emotional. Rest assured, I’m here to listen, guide and support with buckets of empathy and without judgement.
8. What should I do to prepare for a decluttering session?
​
Consider your vision for the space and how it will be used. Please don’t feel the need to tidy beforehand; it’s useful to see how the space is currently being used and work from there.
9. Can you help with ongoing maintenance?
​
Yes. However, I aim to empower clients to maintain their spaces themselves by making necessary adjustments to how and where items are stored and giving maintenance tips along the way.
10. Can you help me with downsizing or moving?
​
Absolutely! Check out the ‘What I can help you with’ section of the website for the full range of services I offer.
11. Will you take photos and put them on social media?
​
Only with your permission. I encourage the taking of photos at the start and end of each session for you to see the progress made. I may request your permission to use them anonymously on my website and social media but this decision rests with you.
12. Do you have insurance?
​
Yes. I have full Professional Indemnity Insurance and Public Liability.
13. Are you professionally verified?
​
Yes. I am full member of APDO (Association of Professional Declutters and Organisers) meaning that we follow a strict code of ethics, hold full insurance and are registered with HMRC.
14. Is my home too cluttered for you?
​
No! Everyone is on a different decluttering and organising journey and I would love to be part of yours, no matter what stage you are at.
