What clients say about Heather:
I regarded her professional service as an essential part of the downsizing…I am grateful for her help and would recommend her services to others.
“Heather helped me to clear my family house and prepare it for sale. It sold quickly. She then helped me to unpack my belongings and sort things out in my new substantially smaller property. It was a very difficult task which I could not have accomplished without her help.
She is knowledgeable, hardworking, efficient and friendly. She was able to assess the issues involved in the move. She helped me to undertake this substantial physical and emotional process with care and sensitivity. I regarded her professional service as an essential part of the ‘downsizing’ which I had decided upon. I am grateful for her help and would recommend her services to others.”

Downsizing and unpacking in new home
We had a number of sessions to completely declutter my home, and not only that but create a system to keep it that way, and honestly she has made such a difference to my life.
“Heather was amazing from start to finish. She is the perfect blend of friendliness and no-nonsense to get stuff done in a pleasant way, without feeling judged. We had a number of sessions to completely declutter my home, and not only that but create a system to keep it that way, and honestly she has made such a difference to my life. I’m so grateful, and would highly highly recommend!

Declutter and organise family home.
I was so amazed with her work…. It was a big success, we had 3 offers within 3 weeks of first house viewing.
We really appreciate Heather’s professionalism and real care for small details. We recommend The Help to anyone who is looking to make more space, organising and or staging.
My husband and I were looking for a home organiser as we were thinking of selling our house and also wanted to declutter our home office which was shared with my husband. I found Heather online and thought her website looked nice and clean, so I thought I give her a call.
It was very easy to contact Heather and she immediately responded and we scheduled a consultation. She went through a lot of our things that was hoarded over the years, and under her strict but very practical guidance, she help us see how much we have been cluttering.
I was so amazed with her work that I have introduced 2 of my friends who was also looking for a home organiser(who wasn’t happy with the previous organisers) to help create more space in their home. Both of my friend’s feedback was also excellent.
We had 5 sessions(Last 2 was for house staging). It was a big success, we had 3 offers within 3 weeks of first house viewing.

Decluttering & home staging
A new vocabulary we use at home is ‘the Heather method’. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Heather is such a hard working, helpful and efficient person to work with. She helped us to declutter 2 box rooms when I was pregnant with our 2nd child. She is very considerate and finds a system that works well. We have since followed her advice in our house and a new vocabulary we use at home is ‘the Heather method’. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Family declutter and organise
She worked very rapidly to help us prepare our house for marketing…and staged it beautifully. We received two offers in the first fortnight, which we attribute to Heather’s work.
“I would recommend Heather’s service to anyone looking to declutter their house. But more than that, she worked with us to help us understand why our house and the stuff in it just was not working for us.
She worked very rapidly to help us prepare our house for marketing at very short notice and staged it beautifully. We received two offers in the first fortnight, which we attribute to Heather’s work. Despite the time pressure, she didn’t go for the quick fix of putting things in storage but helped us to declutter and organise.
We are looking forward to working with her in our new home.”

Preparing home for sale & home staging
We now have an efficient system in place, and have learned some skills which will hopefully stay with us for life. Excellent investment.
“If you need help to organise a disorganised home you won’t find a better person than Heather. She is patient, understanding and doesn’t waste time getting to the point. She clearly explained her process, what was required of us and her communication was excellent throughout. We now have an efficient system in place, and have learned some skills which will hopefully stay with us for life. Excellent investment, thanks Heather!”

Help with flat organisation
You can tell she cares about what she does and the difference it can make to people’s lives.
“Heather came and helped me organise several rooms in my house before the arrival of our second child. She was very hardworking, patient and a real pleasure to work with. You can tell she cares about what she does and the difference it can make to people’s lives. She’s also extremely trustworthy so I felt very much at ease having her in my home.
Thank you so much Heather! I could not have done it without you. I’ll definitely be calling on you again to sort out those other troublesome areas :-)”

Help with organising family home for arrival of new baby.
For us too, Heather worked a miracle. Heather is understanding, tactful, and extremely efficient without ever being bossy or intrusive – a real pleasure to work with.
“For us too, Heather worked a miracle. We needed downsizing help. Our flat was already full to overflowing when we had urgently to find room for 22 boxes of books, china and other belongings, plus a piano, that we moved to Edinburgh from Spain when we gave up our second home there. I was nearly in despair, not knowing where to begin. Heather worked out a flexible plan, breaking the project down into a manageable sequence. Each session brought a new phase of visible progress. Heather magicked away our discards at the end of each session (amazing how much can be fitted into a tiny Skoda), with all that could be salvaged going to a charity shop or recycling centre. Step by step our spaces and documents were re-organised and our professional and domestic lives brought back under control. Heather is understanding, tactful, and extremely efficient without ever being bossy or intrusive – a real pleasure to work with. We will certainly ask for her help again whenever we are in need of a good sorting!”

She took every potential problem away… has broad shoulders and a can do attitude
“Thanks so much to Heather for receiving deliveries to my flat in Edinburgh and supervising a furniture removal from it while I was on holiday in Thailand (relaxing and sipping on an ice cold beer). She took every potential problem away, managed suppliers, co-ordinated the workers and just made what could have been a stressful day into a totally relaxed one. She has broad shoulders and a can do attitude that gave me complete confidence that everything would be done without hassle to me. Great service. Have already booked her to organise some other household matters and trade quotations prior to my return saving me valuable time during my short UK visits.”

No challenge seemed too big or too small and we always managed to get more done in the time than I expected.
“No challenge seemed too big or too small and we always managed to get more done in the time than I expected. My whole house is now one organised working machine (except for the occupants!) and the added bonus was we had a laugh doing it. I’m almost sorry we have finished and would recommend Heather to anyone who asked!”

Decluttering & home organising services
I really appreciated your experience…… A fantastic job!
“I have never been the most organised of people. However, until I met Heather I didn’t realise what I was missing! Heather takes de-cluttering to a whole new level…..I am extremely grateful and so pleased that the huge, seemingly insurmountable, stress of unpacking, sorting through and placing has been lifted. I really appreciated your experience in questioning and understanding the different issues with ‘work from home’ and ‘general house utility’ administration. The sessions were great fun too. Thank you for powering through and leaving the house organised with on-going process in place for smooth running. Thank you very, very, much Heather….A fantastic job !”

Without exaggeration Heather saved my sanity!
“Having moved in and then renovated our house whilst heavily pregnant, the arrival of baby number two left no time to restore order to our home, or indeed even unpack all the boxes. Our home office and the nursery were particular problem areas. Heather came in and systematically went through putting the foundations in place to ensure a smooth running, organised home. Without exaggeration Heather saved my sanity!”

Help with unpacking & home organisation after house move
Heather acts professionally, is firm but fair with workmen and shows flexibility on availability. Her communication skills are excellent……she is one hundred percent reliable.
“Finding Heather was a miracle: From managing the logistics of furniture deliveries through to project managing larger jobs, Heather acts professionally, is firm but fair with tradesmen and shows flexibility on availability. Her communication skills are excellent. She is one hundred percent reliable. Aside from actually getting the jobs done, the ownership Heather takes completely takes away the stress of remote property ownership. I only wish I could transport her to London to manage my life down here as well as she does my Scottish one!”

The systems she put in place are still working months later and have made a huge difference to our tidiness and our stress levels.
“Heather did a tremendous job streamlining a busy house with 3 kids and 2 working parents. The systems she put in place are still working months later and have made a huge difference to our tidiness and our stress levels.”

I now look forward to coming home! It was a pleasure working with you Heather, thank you SO much.
“Heather wasted no time getting to the heart of the matter – categorising of items, working with me to decide which items were no longer of use, then finding a home for everything. I now look forward to coming home! It was a pleasure working with you Heather, thank you SO much.”

I would recommend Heather if you want to get your life sorted
“I engaged the services of Heather to organise my flat when I was on crutches after an accident….I am dyspraxic and therefore find personal organisation very difficult, so Heather gave me valuable training in this area… It has made a whole raft of tasks easier, from packing to go on holiday, to finding important pieces of paperwork. I would recommend Heather if you want to get your life sorted”
