The best professional organizers in Leeds save me when executive dysfunction hits

Experience. We prefer organisers in Leeds who have at least five years of experience working as a professional organiser. This is because, for us, this amount of time is more than enough for them to work with a diverse array of clients.

This isn’t necessary, but it’s also great if the organiser received training somewhere, perhaps from the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO). If they’re an APDO member, that’s even better.

Availability. How easy is it to contact the organiser and book a schedule for a consultation or at-home organisation? Ideally, the answer should be yes.

We’d also like it if the organiser is willing to go out of their way to serve clients who live in towns near Leeds.

Approach. We judged how the organiser approaches a new project. We’d like it if they’re collaborative, i.e., they take into consideration the client’s preferences instead of sticking to their usual process. Bonus points if they’re also warm and friendly.

We acknowledge that our experience is limited, so we asked other clients about their opinions on certain organisers.

Pricing. Ideally, the rate should be below £50 per hour. For bigger projects, it would be great if the organiser allowed negotiations so that they could offer a rate that would fall within the client’s budget.

If they offered a free initial consultation, that’s even better.

As someone with ADHD, I suffer from executive dysfunction a lot of the time (yes, I’m a cliché). Cleaning and organising are my biggest hurdles because I get so overwhelmed that I just never do anything. As a result, my house gets disorganised super fast. 

Fortunately for me, there are now professional organisers in Leeds, and oh my goodness, they’re such lifesavers! When I can’t stand the state of disarray anymore, I just call on one of them, and they come in to set everything to rights. 

Here are some of the best professional organisers in Leeds if you’re also struggling with decluttering your home. 

How much does a professional organiser cost in Leeds?

Hiring a professional organiser in Leeds usually costs between £25 and £50 per hour. Some organisers will charge a separate fee for consultations, usually £40–£85 (one hour) or £60–£150 (two hours).

The Gleam Girls is the one organiser I keep coming back to, so naturally, I’d recommend them to everyone else. 

What I like most about this organiser is the variety of services they offer. I’ve mostly asked them to declutter and organise my home, but they can also do wardrobe makeovers or help you with packing boxes if you need to move houses.

They can also organise your office space or workplace! They’ll even sort your papers and file your electronic files, so you’ll never have to struggle finding an important document ever again. 

I also like that this organiser offers several pricing packages. The cheapest option covers six hours of work, which is more than enough for me. But if it’s not for you, their other packages cover 12 hours and 24 hours of work. 

These packages are reasonably priced, in my opinion. The cheapest package costs £250, while the most expensive is £800. 

If you prefer, you can choose to get charged by the hourly rate, which is only £30. That’s pretty cheap, too! 

That said, I don’t like that depending on where you live, you might have to pay extra fees for additional mileage.

Pros

  • Great variety of services
  • Can organise commercial spaces as well
  • Several pricing packages available 
  • Hourly rate available
  • Reasonable rates

Cons

  • Additional mileage charges may apply

Customer Reviews

Professional service

The Gleam Girls offer an invaluable five-star decluttering, organising and packing service that’s worth every penny! I wouldn’t have been able to move house without their packing service – the organisation and sheer hard work of The Gleam Girls from start to finish was so impressive. The service was professional, warm and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

Fantastic organizer

Really incredible service and I cannot be grateful enough. Kara was fantastic at helping us declutter and pack. We have small kids and we’re doing 2 house moves in 3 months and this process would have been so much more stressful and overwhelming without her.

Twenty Eight Homes doesn’t just declutter and organise your space; they can also do interior design for you! That’s why I recommend this company for people who have just moved into a new home or are looking for a home renovation.

The entire process here is a breeze. You start with a free initial consultation, in which you discuss your vision and other preferences. This consultation usually happens at your home, but if you’re uncomfortable with that idea, you can have it virtually instead.

Once you’ve agreed on the project terms, Katie, the main organiser, comes to your house to start the job. Clients told me that they loved how humble and non-judgmental she is. She even handled all the rubbish for them, which was a sweet gesture.

Another thing worth noting is that their service area isn’t just Leeds; it also includes Harrogate and nearby areas. They also serve both residential homeowners and commercial clients, so their clientele is pretty diverse.

They only offer service packages here, so no hourly rates. The packages range between £180 and £440, which I think is reasonable, but all of them only cover seven hours of work. That’s kind of a bummer. 

Pros

  • Wide array of services
  • Free initial consultation
  • Virtual consultation available
  • Humble and non-judgmental organiser
  • Serves residential homeowners and commercial clients in Leeds, Harrogate, and neighbouring towns
  • Reasonable rates

Cons

  • No hourly rate
  • Service packages only cover seven hours of work

Customer Reviews

A miracle worker

Katie is a miracle worker. She has transformed the disaster zone that was my playroom, into the most organised space which the kids are absolutely loving. The only issue is, it’s so tidy – I don’t want them to play in it! She’s also transformed my kitchen cupboards/rearranged everything so it works for our family. Not only is she AMAZING at what she does, she’s the nicest, kindest and funniest woman. As soon as I met her I just felt so comfortable around her. I would highly recommend her.”

Spot-on advice, great management

Katie has been incredible throughout the renovation of my flat in Harrogate. She managed the whole project from start to finish, transforming every room – kitchen, living room, reception, both bedrooms, and a brand-new utility room – into something truly stunning. Her interior design advice was spot on, and she expertly handled all the vendor relationships, especially when things didn’t go as planned. I honestly couldn’t have pulled this off without her. I’m so grateful for her expertise and the beautiful result!

I first heard about Orjenise from a friend in London who used their services and highly recommended them. So, you can imagine my delight when I learned that Orjenise also comes to Yorkshire to offer their services here. 

What makes this company stand out is the fact that they have services catered to ADHD clients. This is because Jenn, the main organiser, has ADHD herself, so she knows first-hand the struggles, as well as the different approaches that might help. 

As for the organisation services, you have several options to choose from. You can opt to only have one specific area get organised (maybe your wardrobe, bedroom, or some other room). Or you can ask her to do the whole house. 

For commercial clients or people with lots of documents, she can also sort and organise your paperwork. Not only that, but she’d also help you craft a paper organisation system that works for you, so you won’t have to deal with the problem again. 

The pricing here is on the higher end. A six-hour session costs you £300, and if it exceeds, you’ll have to pay £50 per additional hour. 

Pros

  • Wide service area 
  • Special services for people with ADHD
  • Several services to choose from
  • Can organise paperwork as well

Cons

  • Expensive 

Customer Reviews

Custom-tailored services

Jenn is really good at what she does, and she does it with bags of energy and good humour. She had some great ideas for how to use our space, and pushed us gently on what to get rid of. It was all tailored to us rather than having a ‘system’ imposed. Really one of the benefits of hiring her is the accountability – we got so much more done with an extra person who we’d paid for. Even if we’d dedicated days off work to declutter, without Jenn I’m sure we’d have slacked off by lunchtime or felt paralysed by where to start.

Efficient and kind organizer

Jenn Jordan has helped us through a difficult declutter project with efficiency, kindness, and humor. Her organising was energising and effective at helping us get through a mountain of stuff with a minimum of fuss. Highly recommend.”

A Tidy Mind is another company that covers a wide service area. In addition to London, the team has worked with clients living in counties and areas like the West Midlands, Cambridgeshire, and, of course, Yorkshire. 

An interesting thing about this company is that it was founded by a therapist, so in addition to the organisation’s services, you can actually book a therapeutic coaching service for autism and ADHD. I can’t believe I’ve never heard about this before!

If you just want their help with organisation, you just have to fill out the contact form on their website. The team will visit your location to discuss everything related to the project, including timescales and budget. Oh, and this consultation is no obligation.

After finalising the details, all you have to do is wait for the team to do their thing. Depending on the scale of the project, organising sessions might run between three and eight hours. 

I find the rates reasonable here, though keep in mind that the hourly rate for weekend sessions is slightly more expensive. For context, it’s £36 per hour on weekdays and £40 per hour on weekends. The difference isn’t much, but it’s still worth noting.

Pros

  • Wide service area
  • Free initial consultation
  • Easy process 
  • Therapeutic coaching service for AuDHD available
  • Reasonable rates

Cons

  • Rates are slightly higher on the weekends

Customer Reviews

Approachable, efficient, and non-judgmental organizer

Kate is amazing. She has helped me turn my life around. She is practical, approachable, efficient and most importantly non judgmental. She helps you to develop good habits for life. It isn’t a quick-fix service: it’s a programme of recovery and a change in mindset. I can’t recommend her service highly enough.

Informative organizer, effective tips

Kate is informative, effective, and provides useable and easy tips that can become ‘habit’. Kate has led workshops for me and also given me 1:1 sessions. Our dining room was transformed, just from Kate’s eye for detail and suggestions on creating more space and light. Highly recommend.”

Simplified Spaces does exactly what it says on the tin: simplifying your home space into something cleaner and more functional. Her approach has a minimalist feel to it, so if that sounds good to you, call her ASAP. 

Working with Harriet starts with an initial consultation. This only lasts 30 minutes, which is a bit disappointing since initial chats for other organisers are usually around an hour. But still, 30 minutes is more than enough to discuss your vision and the possible costs. 

You can have this consultation via phone, but for a more accurate quote, you can invite her to your house.

The list of services here is impressive. Aside from decluttering and organisation, she can also help you downsize (helpful for people who are moving) or simplify your paperwork system (for corporate workers). 

They can even repurpose an unused space! Maybe you have an empty room in your house that you have no idea what to do with. Harriet can brainstorm ideas with you and then style that room to fit your needs.

Her rate is £35 per hour, which is reasonable. However, if you live outside of Leeds, she might charge you extra fees for mileage. 

Pros

  • Minimalist approach
  • Free initial consultation
  • Consultation can be done via phone or face-to-face
  • Impressive list of services
  • Reasonable rates

Cons

  • Extra fees for mileage might apply
  • Initial consultation only lasts for 30 minutes 

Customer Reviews

Empathetic and engaging organizer 

I would really recommend Harriet to anyone wanting to sort, declutter and transform rooms. I was absolutely stuck, I knew I wanted to create a calmer, useable dining room, declutter my bedroom and transform a little bedroom into a craft room but it felt really overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start. Harriet has such a wonderful way of working with you to make a plan of where to start and really encourages and motivates you into a positive place. She gets you to think about what is needed and what isn’t whilst keeping an empathetic and understanding view of things you may not be ready to sort yet. Harriet’s ideas and suggestions were so useful and she really listened to what I needed from her, checking in each time we met to ensure I was happy. I’m so pleased with what we got done and the end result was fabulous.

Thorough and methodical system

Having 3 children and working full time, I never felt like the house was sorted. Harriet helped sort all the stuff we have and put systems in place so that everything has a home to go back to, meaning the kids can keep themselves organised and our house feels like a home again. Thank you so much, Harriet.”
