how it works, why it's needed and terms of business

 House decluttering:

• It’s straightforward – keep it, sell it, bin it! An initial telephone consultation followed by a home visit. Then between us we can discuss and develop an action plan - work can often start on the first visit. 

House presentation:

• An initial telephone consultation followed by a home visit. We can then work out an action plan based on your objectives and whether you want to work with what you already have or if you want to introduce new items to obtain the look you are aiming for.

Time based services:

• It’s simple. I spend my time doing the jobs you need help with.

Appointment times

• Flexible as needed - minimum time 2 hours depending on location.

Remuneration: 

• Hourly rate (poa) +  inland revenue mileage allowance outside X radius from Monmouth

Insurance

• The Demuddler holds public liability  insurance of £x. 

  Decluttering

• Clutter can weigh you down and invite confusion and chaos. You can breathe fresh air into your life by clearing out clutter and creating an environment you love to be in. Eliminating the clutter in your life will help to reduce your stress  (studies shave shown that clutter can raise your level of cortisol a stress hormone) and make space for wonderful new things to come your way. 

• Examples can include, tidying your living or workspace or even re-organising kitchen cupboards and going through your wardrobe and throwing out tired, worn clothes. It's amazing what a fresh pair of eyes can do!

House presentation

• Often to improve chances of selling properties that are taking time to sell, But also to improve your general surroundings and to maximise your use of space with new fresh ideas.

Time based services: 

• We all live busy hectic lives and time is something not many of us have enough of. By providing these services, I give you more time to focus on things you want to do.

 Confidentiality and Privacy

• All client information both business and personal will be kept strictly confidential.

Access to premises

• The householder agrees to provide safe and unrestricted  access  to the property otherwise i may need  to charge for time and expenses.
