ASSISTING HOUNSING ASSOCIATIONS AND COUNCIL HOUSING WITH ELECTRICAL SAFETY TEST.
Clearing the Way for Electrical Safety in hoarding properties. A Unique Service from Arrows Removals of London.For over 25 years, Arrows has been helping people move homes, clear properties, and handle the most challenging removal jobs with care and professionalism. But one of our most unique and specialised services has grown out of a real-world problem faced by housing associations, councils, and electricians across the UK.
When a tenant’s property is affected by hoarding, it can be impossible for an electrician to safely carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) or electrical safety test. Sockets, fuse boards, and key access points may be completely blocked — and that’s where we step in.
Our Specialist Service for Hoarding-Related Electrical AccessWe’ve developed a dedicated hoarding support clearance service designed to create safe access for electrical testing while treating every tenant and their belongings with respect and care.
Our trained team will:
Box, label, and safely store items to create clear access for electricians
Clear pathways to plug sockets, fuse boards, and essential testing points
Work alongside electricians and housing officers to coordinate the process efficiently
return items neatly after the inspection is complete
We have become indispensable to many housing associations and contractors who need to meet compliance requirements without causing distress or disruption to vulnerable tenants.
Why This Service Is So UniqueMost removal companies focus purely on moving or clearing properties. We recognised a gap in the industry over two decades ago — when electricians and housing teams began turning to us for help in preparing hoarded homes for safety inspections.
Through years of experience, we’ve built a process that’s:
Respectful of tenants’ circumstances
Efficient and coordinated with electrical and housing teams
Compliant with safety and access standards
Trusted by councils and housing providers across the region
We understand that hoarding is a sensitive issue, often connected to personal or emotional challenges. Our approach is never judgmental — it’s practical, compassionate, and focused on ensuring safety, compliance, and dignity for everyone involved.
Who We Work WithWe proudly support:
Housing Associations
Local Councils
Electrical Contractors and Surveyors
Whether it’s a planned inspection program or an urgent job, our experienced team ensures that essential safety checks can take place without delay.
The Results Speak for ThemselvesWith over 25 years in the removals and clearance industry, we’ve helped countless properties become safe, compliant, and ready for inspection — all while supporting tenants in a professional and understanding way.
