Declutter, with Laura Thompson
Let's start with that one cupboard.
A Room Plan by video is the smallest first step.
- Hands-on help to sort and organise a room, a move or a whole home, in person or by video, one space at a time.
- A Room Plan first, if you would like one: an optional written plan by video of what to keep, donate, sell or recycle, the order to do it in, and what storage it needs.
- Start with a free discovery call, a first conversation to check Laura is the right help.
The smallest step
Room Plan by video £45A 45-minute video walk-round of one room, then a written plan: what to keep, donate, sell or recycle, the order, a storage list with measurements

The cupboard, step by step
One space at a time: empty it, group it, decide, then give everything a place.
Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's home. The cupboard stays as it is; each step shows what happens to it.
-
1 Empty it Everything out, where you can see it The light on, nothing left at the back
Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's home. Empty it
Everything comes out of the space and onto the floor in daylight, so you can see what is really there. Nothing is decided yet.
-
2 Group it Coats together Shoes in pairs Every cable, one basket
Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's home. Group it
Like goes with like. Seeing six umbrellas side by side makes the next step easier than finding them one at a time.
-
3 Decide Keep the shoes in use Donate two coats Sell the camping chair Recycle old cables
Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's home. Decide
Keep, donate, sell or recycle, one group at a time. Donations are bagged and labelled for a charity collection.
-
4 Give it a place A hook for each coat A shelf for the baskets A label you will remember

What stays goes back with a place you will remember, with simple systems and labels. On a Half Day you also get a one-page note on how to keep it this way.
Every way in, and its price
By video or in your home, from one room to a whole move.
Start small with a plan by video, or have Laura in the room with you for a half day or a whole one. For a move, she works either side of it.

Travel and donations are explained beside the prices once Laura sets them.
Belongings, with somewhere to belong.
Rooms organised so everything has a place you will remember.
Two situations Laura's help is made for, as examples rather than anyone's story:
-
The cupboard under the stairs that nobody opens when guests are round.
A Room Plan by video to decide what goes where, or a Half Day to sort it together.
-
A house a parent has lived in for forty years, a move in six weeks, and the family two hundred miles away arranging it by phone.
Move and Settle either side of moving day, or a whole home planned day by day.
Plainly
- Laura sorts and organises with you, room by room, in person or by video.
- Donations are bagged and labelled for a charity collection.
- Laura does no probate work.
- Travel and donations are explained beside the prices once Laura sets them.
