Factors that influence the price of a home organiser

Several elements can affect the price of a decluttering coach. Here are the main factors to consider:

1. Type of service offered

The rate depends on the service I need:

• Sorting and decluttering : If I need help sorting through my belongings and getting rid of excess items, the coach may charge a specific fee.

• Organization of specific spaces : Reorganizing a kitchen, wardrobe, or children's room may require particular skills.

• Comprehensive organization coaching : Learning methods and techniques to maintain my home in order over the long term may cost a bit more.

2. Experience of the coach

A decluttering coach with several years of experience, a certain reputation, or specific knowledge (like the Marie Kondo method) will charge higher rates. 

However, their expertise can make all the difference in the quality of service provided.

3. Geographic location

Where I live can influence the rate:

• Large cities : In metropolitan areas, rates will reflect the cost of living. The rate of a home organiser in London will therefore be on the higher end, around £68 per hour.

• Rural areas: I might need to consider significant travel fees if the coach comes from far away.

4. Complexity and duration of the job

• Size of my home: Reorganizing a studio or a large house requires different amounts of time and effort.

• State of clutter: The more cluttered my space is, the more time the coach will need.

• Additional services: Some coaches offer to remove items I no longer want, which can incur extra fees.

Difference between decluttering assistance and coaching

It’s essential to understand the difference between decluttering assistance and coaching in organization, as these two services address distinct needs and have different rates.

Decluttering assistance

If you just need a helping hand to tidy my home, you can hire a provider who will come to your house to assist me in sorting through my belongings. 

On Yoojo, the rate for such assistance starts at £10 per hour, with an average cost of around £49 per intervention.

This is ideal for occasional needs, such as tidying up after a move, preparing your home for guests, or simply restoring order when you short on time.

Coaching in organization

Coaching in organization is more than just assistance. A decluttering coach works with me to transform the way I organize my space.

They don’t just tidy up my belongings; they teach me techniques and methods to help me maintain an organized home over the long term. 

This service is more personalized and aims to change my habits for a sustainable change.

At Yoojo, we estimate that the rate of a decluttering coach is higher due to this expertise and the time spent training me. As mentioned earlier, the average rate is around £51 per hour, with packages tailored to my needs.
