A FEW USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW
Useful questions before we start
Can you help with several different jobs?
Yes. Start with a tailored or concierge enquiry and describe the result you need. Carla’s practical work and any specialist requirements are scoped separately, with providers, responsibilities, availability and price confirmed before booking.
Do you offer cleaning, gardening, maintenance or interior design?
You can enquire about these as part of a property or concierge project. They are not included in organising packages. A suitable specialist, quote and delivery arrangement must be confirmed before that work is booked.
Are packages based on the size or value of my home?
No. They provide agreed time for practical priorities. Small homes, larger properties and business spaces are welcome; more extensive work is individually scoped and quoted.
Do you cover Cardiff?
Yes. Travel is included across Bridgend, Porthcawl, Cowbridge, Cardiff, Penarth, Barry and surrounding areas. We agree the work, price and dates before booking.
Do you cover Cowbridge and the Vale?
Yes. Cowbridge, Penarth, Barry and surrounding areas are part of my service area, with travel included.
Can I hire someone to unpack my house?
Yes. Move & Settle is £360 over two planned days, with time and priorities agreed in writing. Move In, Settle In is £1,300 for 24 hands-on hours across 4 visits, plus capped planning and follow-up. Both focus on agreed tasks; whole-house completion is not guaranteed.
Do I need an organiser if my movers unpack?
Not always. Check whether your movers put belongings away or unpack onto surfaces. If you still want help arranging kitchen cupboards, wardrobes or other priority spaces, we can agree a separate session.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily. We agree access, priorities and instructions before the visit. Decisions about belongings stay with you.
Can you help at short notice?
Sometimes at a few days’ notice where my diary allows. Please share the dates you have in mind; I confirm a slot with you before booking.
Can you help put up Christmas decorations?
Yes, with indoor decorations within comfortable reach. We agree the work and price first. Ladder work, outdoor decorations and electrical installation are excluded.
Can you prepare my home for viewings?
Yes. We can prioritise light decluttering, tidying and thoughtful finishing touches before photographs or viewings. Light entrance/patio tidying is by agreement; gardening, repairs and waste removal are excluded. Flowers and other purchases are agreed and priced separately.
Can you help choose storage?
Yes. We sort and measure first, then agree useful storage and a budget. Each item is priced separately and approved before ordering. Sourcing time uses the agreed session allocation; additional time is £35/hour only with your approval. Products, delivery and installation are not included in session prices.
How much does organising help cost?
Fresh Start is £105 for 3 hours. Home Reset is £205 for 6 hours. Returning Keep It Sorted visits are £60 for 2 hours. We agree a realistic focus first.
Do I need to tidy first?
No. We start where you are. Please tell me about access or conditions that could affect the work.
Can you help if I already have a removal company?
Yes, where separate organising help would be useful. Confirm what your movers already include, then we can agree complementary tasks such as sorting before packing or arranging everyday kitchen items and clothes afterwards. I do not provide removals transport or heavy lifting.
Can you help me downsize without deciding what I should keep?
Yes. We work through agreed areas at your pace, with you deciding what stays. We can consider what fits your next home and sort the belongings you choose to keep. You arrange any donations, collections or disposal; nothing leaves without your agreement.
Can you help before and after a move?
Yes. Move & Settle is £360, spread over two planned days. We agree the time allocation and priority tasks before booking. A larger Move In, Settle In project is £1300, with 24 hands-on hours across four visits plus capped planning and follow-up.
Will you take things away?
No. You decide what stays or goes and arrange donations, collection and disposal. Nothing is discarded without your agreement.
Can I buy help for someone else?
Yes, if they want the help and agree the work. Payment does not give someone authority over another person’s belongings. Family updates and photos need separate permission.
Where do you travel?
Travel is included across Bridgend, Porthcawl, Cowbridge, Cardiff, Penarth, Barry and surrounding areas.
Is this cleaning, care or removals?
Carla delivers practical organising, agreed packing/unpacking and everyday support. Cleaning and property-specialist requirements can be discussed separately through a concierge or property enquiry. Organising packages exclude removals transport, heavy lifting, waste removal and deep cleaning. Personal care, medication and passenger transport are not offered.
What happens after I enquire?
Your request is recorded for Carla to review. It does not reserve a date or take payment. We discuss fit, scope and availability, then provide the details needed before a booking. For a time-sensitive request, please call.
Can I book a regular visit or buy a voucher?
Ask about a suitable scope and frequency. Voucher value, eligible services, redemption and expiry terms are supplied before you buy. An enquiry does not create a voucher.
What if my move date changes?
Contact Carla promptly. We discuss alternative dates and agree any revised scope in writing. See the booking information for cancellation rights.
