Decluttering & Organising in Reigate
No judgement. Sustainable systems. Calm support.
A Market Town With History. A Spare Room Stuck in 2019
Reigate is an affluent, historic market town at the foot of the North Downs, with a High Street that still has a mix of independent boutiques and traditional pubs rather than a run of the same chains you'd find everywhere else. The housing reflects that history: timber-framed and thatched cottages, Georgian and Victorian villas, and a high proportion of owner-occupiers who've made a deliberate choice to live here and tend to stay for the long haul. That settled character is part of the appeal, but it also means a lot of Reigate's period housing predates any thought of fitted wardrobes or a proper utility room.
What Happens During A Session?
Sessions are four or seven hours and cost £45 an hour. Before I start, you tell me what a good day looks like, such as a study you can actually work in, a kitchen you can cook in without a major overhaul first, or a spare room that's stopped being a dumping ground.
First we categorise your belongings, and then we work together to make the decisions that are needed to get you back the home you want. Once we know what is staying, we work through systems and storage that work for your brain, so that they can be easily maintained once I have gone.
Two Separate Jobs
Decluttering is the process of systematically reducing the number of belongings you have, so that they are more manageable for the space you have. The organising bit is all about finding out what systems, storage and processes facilitate storing your items and then actually being able to find them again when you need them.
FAQs
Where do donated items go? Reigate has charity shops in the town centre, so there is usually somewhere close for good-quality items to go. I take up to five standard bags of donations to a local charity shop as part of your session. If there is a particular charity you'd like your things to go to, tell me and I'll do my best to take them there, though not every shop accepts every type of item, and it also depends on whether they are closed for the day at the end of our session. I can also arrange charity collection during the session.
Can I buy my own storage? Yes. If you'd prefer to buy it yourself, I'll give you a list of exactly what to get and where, so you only buy what you'll use.
Do I tidy up before you arrive? Please don't. I need to see the space as it really is, so I can see what is and isn't working for you.
Do you offer organising maintenance plans? Yes. The Monthly Organising Retainer is £165 a month for a four-hour session each month, with a six-month minimum. Find out MORe.

Is Your Wardrobe Bursting at the Seams?
A wardrobe that's stopped working for you makes every morning harder. Clothes that don't fit, clothes you meant to repair, and your favourite clothes wedged in between so many other clothes, you feel like you will never find them again.
This all adds friction to a two-minute decision. Wardrobe organisation sorts what you actually wear from what you're keeping out of habit, and enables you to find and wear the clothes you love.
The free 15-minute discovery call is the easiest place to start. You can also The Wardrobe Organisation Page has more on how I work with wardrobes.
What clients say
Jo was FANTASTIC! She is completely non judgemental, friendly and super efficient. I had far too many clothes, including things that were three sizes too big. I now have an organised wardrobe with clothes I actually wear. Thank you.
