We break downsizing down into simple steps.

You can take things at your own pace and do as much on your own as you can. We help with the things you can't do or don't want to do, but we always work alongside you, so you are in control.


We help clients declutter and organise, move house or prepare for renovations in all sorts of situations, including downsizing, upsizing, rightsizing or simply sizing up possessions.


We'd love to talk to you about your plans and how we can help bring some calm to the chaos.

Maintenance

Organise those pesky jobs inside and out

We’re like swiss army knives - we’ll do our best to sort things out without tradespeople.  We are good at everything from touch up painting to interior decor. 


As well as being pretty handy ourselves, we have a trusted network of tradespeople who we can recommend and who charge reasonable prices.

Deceased Estates

With care and compassion

What happens to the belongings you no longer want?

We help you work out where everything should go — and we try very hard to keep things out of landfill.

We sort your belongings carefully into what can be kept, sold, donated, recycled, passed on to family or friends, or responsibly disposed of. We want your belongings to have the best possible chance of being reused or recycled rather than becoming someone else’s disposal problem.


We’re conscious that simply dropping unwanted things at a charity shop isn’t always the right answer. We work with charities where items are genuinely suitable for donation, and use specialist recycling services for things such as clothing and textiles, electronics, batteries, confidential documents and chemicals.


Doing this responsibly isn't always the easiest or cheapest option. It can involve extra sorting, trips, specialist collections and recycling or disposal fees. Where there are costs, we pass them on to you at cost — with no mark-up.


We can’t guarantee that absolutely nothing will go to landfill, but we can promise to do everything reasonably possible to give your unwanted belongings a better after-life.



Less waste. More reuse.


IT's YOUR CHoice

Sometimes you need more. Sometimes you need less.

There are lots of decisions to make when you are moving somewhere new. We know that by taking it step by step over time, you feel more organised and less rushed and overwhelmed. For example, you will want to get your house ready for market well before you are getting ready to move.  So, think about working  with us on a calendar plan to go one step at a time.


We offer a wraparound service that is tailored to your needs. This means we can develop a package of services that will work for you.
