Extreme Cleaning & Property Recovery
When a property becomes too much to handle, we take over.
Placeback helps families, landlords and property professionals deal with difficult properties across Doncaster and South Yorkshire.
From hoarding and property clearance to extreme cleaning, biohazard cleaning and specialist decontamination, we provide a clear plan to help bring the property back under control.
No judgement
Clear plan
Specialist cleaning
Responsible waste handling
When the property itself has become the problem.
Severe clutter, contamination, accumulated waste or neglect can make a property difficult to manage.
For families, the situation may be emotionally overwhelming. For landlords and property professionals, it may be delaying access, repairs, refurbishment or re-letting.
You don’t have to work it all out yourself.
That’s where Placeback comes in.
What We Help With
Difficult properties. Specialist soloutions. One clear way forward
Not sure what service you need?
You don’t need to work that out yourself.
Tell us about the property, what’s making it difficult and what you’re trying to achieve.
Photos or video can help us understand what’s involved, but they’re not required to get started.
We’ll help you work out what happens next.
You deal with the situation
We deal with the property.
Difficult properties often involve more than one problem. From accumulated belongings and waste to contamination and severe neglect, knowing where to begin can be difficult.
Placeback brings the work together under one clear plan.
No judgement
We’re here to help deal with the property, not judge the circumstances behind it.
Clear communication
You’ll understand what’s involved, what’s included and what happens next before work begins.
Respect for belongings
Where agreed, we’ll look out for important documents, valuables and sentimental belongings rather than assuming everything should be removed.
Safety comes first
We assess the risks, use appropriate protective equipment and follow procedures suited to the work involved.
The Placeback Recovery Process
Assess
Tell us about the property
We start by understanding the situation, any known risks and what you need to achieve.
Photos, video, a conversation or an on-site assessment can help us understand what’s involved.
Plan
We agree what needs to happen.
We’ll establish what needs clearing, cleaning or treating, what needs to stay and how the work will be carried out.
You’ll understand the agreed scope before work begins.
Recover
We take care of the difficult work.
Our team carries out the agreed clearance, specialist cleaning, decontamination and property recovery according to the plan.
Handover
The property comes back under your control.
We’ll check the completed work against the agreed scope and explain anything that may still need attention.
Where agreed, we’ll provide completion photographs and relevant waste documentation.
From overwhelming to manageable again.
The goal is to help bring the property back under control.
Every property is different. Some need clearing, others need specialist cleaning or decontamination, and some require a combination of services.
Cluttered
Cleared
Contaminated
Professionally treated
Neglected
Recovered
Overwhelming
Manageable
That might mean helping a family regain control of a difficult situation, clearing the way for repairs, or moving a property towards refurbishment, sale or re-letting.
Whatever the situation, our focus is on completing the agreed work and helping you move forward.
Trained for specialist situations.
The right approach for difficult properties.
Some properties require more than conventional clearance or cleaning.
Placeback has completed specialist CPD training covering biohazard cleaning, trauma and unattended death, sharps, sewage contamination, mould, fire damage cleaning and other specialist situations.
Our work is supported by specialist insurance, registered waste-carrier status, appropriate protective equipment and arrangements for responsible waste disposal.
Every property is assessed individually.
We consider the risks, required cleaning methods and waste-handling arrangements before agreeing how the work should proceed.

Why Placeback?
Difficult properties are our focus.
Placeback is built around properties that need more than a straightforward clearance or clean.
From severe clutter and neglect to contamination and specialist cleaning, we understand that difficult properties often involve several challenges at once.
That’s why we look at the property as a whole, not just the individual tasks.
One coordinated approach
Several challenges. One agreed plan.
Focused on what comes next
Work shaped around the property’s next stage.
Straightforward about the work
Clear scope, assessments and boundaries.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know which service I need?
No. Just tell us about the property and what’s making it difficult. We’ll help you understand which services may be needed and what happens next.
Can I send photos or video?
Yes. Photos or video can help us understand the property’s condition. You don’t need to take photographs if doing so would put you at risk.
Do you handle hoarding and neglected properties?
Yes. Placeback provides hoarding clearance, extreme cleaning and property recovery services for heavily cluttered, neglected and difficult properties.
Do you provide biohazard cleaning?
Yes. We provide specialist services for unattended deaths, trauma, biological contamination, sharps, sewage and other biohazard situations, subject to assessment.
Can you clear and clean the same property?
Yes. Where required, we can combine clearance, waste removal, specialist cleaning and decontamination under one agreed plan.
How much does it cost?
Costs depend on the property’s size, condition, access, labour, waste disposal and work required. Contact us to discuss an assessment and quotation.
Do I need to clear anything before you arrive?
No. You don’t need to tidy, clear or clean the property before contacting us. Avoid disturbing suspected hazards until the risks have been assessed.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and surrounding South Yorkshire areas. Suitable projects further afield are also considered.
The property may feel overwhelming.
The next step doesn’t have to.

We’ll listen, understand the situation and help you work out what happens next.
