We were properly impressed with Simply Tidy with Jane when we first saw her organising method. After all, she is a certified KonMari consultant, which makes her professionally trained in the KonMari Method.

Moreover, her organising services are highly professional, as she makes use of Kurashi at Home, a book written by KonMari inventor Marie Kondo, which centres on things that matter to you.

She appealed to us because of her focus on simple organising systems and reduced clutter. And she offers these on a room-by-room basis and for the whole home, whether you’re downsizing or moving house.

From what we’ve seen, her organising system is sustainable, providing manageable solutions that won’t leave you feeling overwhelmed. Her coverage area is also vast, catering to Greater Manchester and its surrounding areas, in-person and online.

You should know that she requires a minimum of 6 hours per appointment. Her rate of £42 per hour for a personalised service is fair, though it will stack up with her required hours.

Supported us when moving from the UK to Germany

“Jane supported us when moving from the UK to Germany. We had a lot of furniture to donate and dispose of & Jane provided a great service. She was very reliable and kept us well informed throughout. She joined me to sort through the garage and no task was too much. Would highly recommend if you’d like to take some stress away from a move, Jane & her contact Marcus are wonderful:

Very good and patient with me

“Jane was very good and patient with me. She really helped me sort out my clothes and I learnt new space saving, folding methods which I still use today. She also helped me organise and declutter a lot of my paperwork. She just kept encouraging me and explaining if I don’t use it or its not important to me or doesn’t make me happy then pass it on to someone else (well for the clothes anyway) with the paperwork it was just shredded. I highly recommend her services.”

I Organise Manchester knows how it feels when mess starts popping up. It’s headed by Christal Dauncey, who has first-hand experience with clutter as a mom of two.

She knows exactly how to declutter, as she also provides professional organising coaching services, helps with hoarding situations, and is a member of the Association of Professional Declutters and Organisers (APDO).

Furthermore, she doesn’t stop at organising because she also offers support during big life transitions that can lead to clutter. Her clients only had positive things to say, mainly how they felt supported throughout.

Most of all, we were pleased with her prices, starting at £40 per hour for a 3-hour session. Even her packages are worth every penny, as you save more money whilst receiving proper and more thorough support.

She doesn’t have virtual organising services, unfortunately. But she does travel to other locations and offers to drop off donation bins for a fee, which is understandable because she accepts a full car load of stuff.

Exceptional from start to finish

“I cannot find enough positive words to say about the whole experience. Exceptional from start to finish – I have felt supported with what I have always felt a sense of shame around not being organised enough in my home, it’s made declutterig my home before moving into another a therapeutic journey – I love the short sessions and the positive coaching you get alongside the sessions . Christal feels like a best friend holding your hand non judgmental and supporting you to lead a more organised life”

It’s like having a friend around for a cuppa

“I have worked with Chrystal on five different part of my house now. I would absolutely never find time to organise without the sessions we had booked in. I am working with her about once a month to get my whole house sorted. It’s like just having a friend round for a cuppa but you get loads done! She has also helped me to develop systems for washing etc to make sure I keep on top of things. Would highly recommend. She is very professionally and easy to get on with.”

The Clutter Fairy is delightfully accessible, covering the North West and the Midlands. Unlike some of our top professional organisers in Manchester, they have a large team (rather than a one-person team) and offer loads of services.

Let’s begin with their professional organising staff, who have been applauded for being respectful, regardless of the state of your home. But for a service with a substantial team, they surprisingly don’t have advanced booking.

Not that much of an issue, since booking is still easy to do. In addition, their in-home and virtual services accommodate more clients, which include paperwork organisation, charity decluttering assistance, and workshops.

Furthermore, we found their accountability calls absolutely brilliant for clients who need extra support. It’s essentially a scheduled check-in to give you a bit of a prod.

Their £42 per hour rate is quite fair, although weekends are a smidge pricier. It’s all right, as every service is tailored for every client, including short or long sessions, whichever works best.

Incredibly professional, respectful, thoughtful, and kind

“I had a wonderful experience with The Clutter Fairy. They are incredibly professional, respectful, thoughtful, and kind. Not only did they do a fantastic job helping me organize my space, but they also took the time to help me understand the process so I can maintain it myself in the future. I never felt rushed or judge, just supported every step of the way. I highly recommend The Clutter Fairy to anyone looking for real, lasting organization help. Special thanks to Katie and Karina.”

What a lovely, kind, and calm lady

“I got in touch with The Clutter Fairy and my initial conversation was with Katie.. What a lovely, kind and calm lady. I initially felt apprehension and anxiety. After talking with her in depth i felt alot calmer. Still embarrassed but i knew they could help. I was then put in touch with Claire, again I felt anxious but the sense of knowing we would get through helped me. After 5 hours of doing one room i felt a little lighter. It didn’t seem like a lot but in fact, it was. Such a lovely lady, great aura and we just on with it all. Thoroughly recommend them. Thank you 🥰♥️ xx”

We couldn’t believe our eyes when we learned that Can’t Believe It’s Not Clutter is more than just professional organising. Led by Jason, he provides a brilliantly two-in-one service, where decluttering meets cleaning.

We mean that in the literal sense, as he offers oven cleaning and ironing. You’ll receive the proper help here, perfect for individuals with mobility challenges and those without enough hours in their day.

It helps that he also caters to hoarding situations, which can be tough to navigate. His approach is completely tailored, like working on his own or collaborating with the client.

The prices we’ve seen were remarkably affordable for the end-to-end job, at £40 per hour. Everything would’ve been spot on if he offered virtual organising services, but we can’t have the whole lot, can we?

Nevertheless, the careful and respectful approach won us over. His clients praised how he had everything under control as he worked calmly, which resulted in a stress-free situation.

Really cares that his clients are happy

“Jason is fantastic at his job and he really cares that his clients are happy. I’m disabled and have a household of neurodivergent people and he’s been helping me declutter rooms of the house with body doubling and making great suggestions that means it’s actually getting done. He’s very calm, patient and understanding so that I don’t get overwhelmed with all the chaos. Can’t recommend him enough”

His calm manner has enabled my daughter to let go of a number of items

“Jason has been working with my daughter for a few weeks now, methodically working through items, carefully arranging, organising and labelling. Jason’s calm manner has enabled my daughter to allow a number of items to go to alternative homes/charity and making the space available more accessible and functional. I strongly recommend Jason to assist with declutter, organising and future ideas. It’s been a pleasure to meet him.”

If you’re seeking an organiser who knows how to do the job right, Amanda of Professionally Organised should be on your list. Unsurprisingly, she’s in ours, as she’s the membership director of APDO.

Her expertise includes regularly assisting clients with ADHD and executive dysfunction through her calm demeanour. We truly appreciated her non-judgmental and professional approach, which most clients did too.

Service-wise, her offerings are fairly straightforward. There’s decluttering, organising, paperwork assistance, and moving house support.

We’re 50/50 on her accessibility, though. She covers Lancashire mostly, and sadly, only bits and pieces of Greater Manchester—and that is why she’s available for in-person and virtual services.

Her coverage makes sense, to be honest. Her main base is in Chorley, and travelling to other parts of Manchester will incur heavy travel fees!

What truly caught our eye was her affordable pricing of £35 per hour, with only a minimum of three hours (ideal for short sessions!). Surprisingly, however, her virtual services are a tad pricier at £40 per hour, despite being completely online.

Helped me out enormously

“Amanda helped me out enormously, I was overwhelmed and going through some major life changes. The clutter wasn’t helping. Amanda is a great listener and doesn’t judge at all. Lots of great suggestions to get organised. I loved that Amanda took the unwanted items away to charity . I looked forward to Amanda’s visits and will definitely use her services again. Highly recommended 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩”

Makes you feel at ease

“Amanda is lovely, and really good at helping you sort stuff out and get organised.She makes you feel at ease and I actually had a good laugh,and she had some good ideas, so that the bits we organised have actually stayed that way ( mostly!) If you’re anxious, don’t be. The next time I feel overwhelmed, I know who to call. Thank you so much! :-)”
