Series 1: Episode 6

Stacey and her gang - organizer Dilly, carpenter Rob and cleaner Iwan - challenge the Waller family to sort their life out in seven days, and in order to do this they’ll have to embark on a mammoth declutter. In this family home, they’ve converted a garage full of stuff to create an annex for Nan and Grandad, but as a result the clutter has now taken over the rest of the house.\n\nWith Stacey’s help, the family start packing all their possessions into boxes. Every single item is stripped from the family home revealing how much space there is under all their things. We get to know the family behind the clutter – working mum Kelly, policeman Dan and their two daughters – and why their house is making them miserable. \n\nWith the house all packed up, the family’s possessions are laid out in a giant warehouse like an art installation of their entire lives; including 107 boardgames, 640 old CDs and hundreds of odd socks. With everything displayed in front of them, the family are shocked to see how much they really own and how it all fitted into their house in the first place.\n\nThere are emotional moments in the warehouse as the family try let go of baby items they’ve held on to, and tensions rise as the sheer enormity of the task takes its toll.\n \nThe items they do decide to let go of will be put into piles to recycle, donate or sell. \n\nAt the house, carpenter Rob breathes new life into the home by creating a multi-purpose spare room and transforming the office into a workspace of dreams. Cleaner Iwan gives the home a supersize spring clean, with lots of useful tips along the way, and organizer Dilly shows us all the best way to organise our paperwork.\n\nWhen the family are left with only the must keep items, they are packed back up to the house before it’s stylishly refilled by Stacey and her team, ready for the big reveal to the family.\n
