Specialisms
Many of our members offer general decluttering and organising help, but many also specialise in certain areas where their experience or training means they are particularly suited to offer help in that area. This can be in helping with challenges such as hoarding disorder, ADHD, etc or giving help and advice on a particular area such as digital decluttering, photo organising, moving house etc. You can find out more about our members' specialisms here and also search for a member with a particular specialism on our Find an Organiser page.
Terms and conditions
The terms and conditions of individual organisers explain what they can and can't do to help you. For example, moving items, cleaning, and disposal of your unwanted belongings. It's also worth clarifying payment terms and cancellation policy. Feel free to ask any questions or raise any concerns with the individual organiser before booking them.
Pricing
There is no standard rate for professional organising so fees will vary according to several factors, including experience, specific expertise and location. Some organisers charge on an hourly basis; others offer session rates or project fees. Do check if fees include travel time/expenses or follow-up advice before booking.
