A confidential assessment and clear scope
We establish access, property condition, the volume and type of contents, possible hazards and the level of sorting required. You receive a clear quotation and agreed scope covering labour, removal, disposal and any cleaning or decontamination needed.
Sort & Save for important belongings
Our Sort & Save service helps protect photographs, documents, jewellery, valuables and sentimental possessions rather than treating everything as waste. Instructions can be agreed with the occupier, family, executor or authorised professional before work starts.
Squat, drug-den and void-property clearance
For landlords, housing providers and property professionals, we clear properties following unauthorised occupation once lawful access has been recovered. The assessment can account for discarded needles, drug paraphernalia, human waste, bodily fluids, heavy soiling and other hazards. Insight does not provide eviction or enforcement services.
Clearance followed by specialist deep cleaning
Removing contents may reveal contamination that an ordinary house-clearance service cannot safely resolve. Where required, we can continue with specialist deep cleaning, sanitisation, odour treatment and proportionate biohazard decontamination under the agreed scope.
Responsible removal and lawful disposal
Waste is separated and directed through appropriate disposal routes. Controlled or biohazardous material is packaged, transported and documented as required, supported by our upper-tier waste-carrier registration and specialist disposal arrangements.
Bath-based, owner-led support
Insight is genuinely based in Bath. You speak directly with Ed Barnes, who remains your point of contact from the first conversation through assessment and attendance. We cover central Bath, Bathwick, Larkhall, Weston, Oldfield Park, Twerton, Combe Down, Odd Down, Batheaston, Bathampton, Keynsham and nearby communities.
Local service information
Hoarder and extreme clearance in Bath: common questions
Will you throw everything away?
No. Where careful sorting is required, our Sort & Save approach identifies photographs, documents, jewellery, valuables and sentimental belongings for retention. We agree what should be saved before clearance begins.
Do you judge people because of the condition of a property?
No. Hoarding and overwhelmed homes can be connected with bereavement, illness, trauma or changing circumstances. We work calmly, discreetly and without judgement, and agree a practical approach suited to the people involved.
Can you clear a squat, drug den or void property in Bath?
Yes, once the person instructing us has lawful access and authority over the property. We provide clearance and specialist cleaning after access has been recovered; we do not provide eviction or enforcement services.
What happens if needles or biohazards are found?
The work is reassessed and suitable controls are used. Insight can provide needle and sharps clearance, biohazard cleaning and appropriate waste handling rather than expecting a general clearance team to manage specialist hazards informally.
Do you clean after the contents are removed?
Yes, where included in the agreed scope. The service can progress from clearance to specialist deep cleaning, sanitisation and proportionate decontamination according to the property's condition.
How quickly can you attend in Bath?
Insight is based in Bath, allowing a direct local response without a national call centre. Timescales depend on access, property size, waste requirements and existing commitments; call Ed directly to discuss urgent work.
