Storage room clearing and arranging in Tokyo: sort it, bag it, put it back in order
We empty, sort, bag and re-arrange storage rooms and storage areas, leaving each item with a clear decision. We do not haul away disposals.
Why the first step feels impossible
People postpone a storage room because the decisions pile up behind the door. Keep, give away, sell, return to a colleague, throw away. Our approach separates the physical work from the decisions. We do the lifting, grouping and bagging so that you face a small number of clearly marked groups, instead of an entire room.
The sequence we follow
First the team clears a working space and takes everything out in zones, so that nothing is mixed. Second, items are placed into groups on the floor: keep, decision needed, and the categories you named. Third, the empty room is swept so the shelves and floor can be seen. Finally, the keep group goes back on shelves in an order we agree with you, and a summary with photos is sent.
Sorting, bagging and boxing
Small loose items go into labelled bags or boxes by category. Bundles of cables, fixings, stationery, decorations or tools are kept together and named. Cartons that have burst or are failing are re-boxed into sturdy ones. Anything you want to donate, sell or return is grouped and packed ready for the person who is collecting it, so it leaves the room already organised, with a short list of what is in each bag or box.
What happens to the things you do not keep
We do not haul away disposals, and we do not drive or transport goods. We group and bag what you have decided to discard, and place it at the collection point you name, for your own arrangement, a municipal collection or a licensed collector. We do not decide what is waste, and we tell you if something looks like it needs special handling, for example electronics or chemical containers.
A contracted task, not borrowed hands
This is a task we complete under contract. You set the scope, the groups and the date. Our supervisor leads our team in the room, decides who does what and checks the result. You do not need to stand over the work giving instructions, and you will not be asked to direct the people involved. The fixed price is confirmed by message and covers the whole clearing, however many trips between room and sorting area it takes.
When the room is not ours to judge
Storage rooms often contain items that belong to someone else, such as a former tenant’s boxes, a departed colleague’s files, personal belongings or documents. We do not open sealed or marked personal boxes, and we do not make decisions about ownership. Those boxes are grouped together and left sealed, with a list, for you or the owner to deal with.
Dust, damp and what we notice
A room that has been shut for years can have dust, damp cardboard and sometimes signs of pests. We wear suitable protection against dust and we bag damp cardboard separately. We report visible damage such as water stains or mould on walls, but we do not treat it, and we do not do building repair. If conditions on arrival are unsuitable, the supervisor tells you before work continues.
Making the room usable again
Clearing is half the task. Once it is empty, we can set up shelving contents so that the room works: heavier items low, boxes labelled facing outward, a clear path to the door, and a map by the entrance if you wish. Rooms that are arranged this way stay in order longer, and the next time someone needs something, the first search ends at the right shelf.
Price, photos and the deadline
The fixed price comes from photos, the size of the room, the amount of material and any access issues such as stairs without a lift. Send an image taken from the door and one of the fullest shelf. We reply with one amount for the task, confirmed by message before work starts. If the room contains more than the photos suggest, the supervisor tells you early and you decide how to proceed.
Keeping the work safe and the room undamaged
A cluttered room is a hazard in itself, so the supervisor briefs the team on safe lifting before the first carton moves. We use sturdy stepstools rather than climbing shelves, keep a clear route to the door while we work, and never stack beyond what is stable. Walls, floors and shelves are protected where you ask for it. If we notice a loose shelf, sharp edge or damaged fitting, we report it rather than work around it, since the repair belongs to your contractor.
