Unpacking & Organising

Unpacking a room can be overwhelming, especially when you know the packed boxes have no organisation within (think mugs in with socks in with body wash). That’s when I was called in.

I did this job on my own, meaning the client was in the house but didn’t sit with me while I sorted through.

I do prefer when a client sorts through with me because it feels like more of a completed job, but this client was more than capable of finishing the job once I’d made a good start.

I unpacked all the boxes & bags one by one, and categorising items. All the toiletries I found throughout the room ended up in one box. All the clothes in one pile, bags in one box, books in one box etc etc.

Paperwork was a bit haphazard - memories such as photos, letters and cards were muddled in with personal documents like bills, bank statements and professional documents. I separated out these two categories and they went into separate places ready for the client to work through at a later date.

To completely unpack everything, throw obvious rubbish away, reorganise and pack into boxes or piles took me 3 hours. The piles can now be worked through at a steady pace without the client feeling totally overwhelmed and not knowing where to start.

Another happy customer!
