00:14rethink the space in our homes to deep clean that's a big patch of mold to declutter got about

00:2260 pairs of shoes here and tackle those neglected diy jobs but we don't always have the time

00:29money or confidence to get on top of things there's quite a lot mess and that's where me and my crack

00:36team of experts come in we'll show you some brilliant hacks you can see this this whole

00:41dead space has been transformed that won't break the budget helping and inspiring you to make

00:46life-changing improvements i've never seen it look so gorgeous in just two days oh my god

00:53absolutely brilliant

00:59my experts today are carla price i've got a lot to sink my teeth into the decluttering expert with

01:09years of experience you know when the coat comes off you mean business i mean business and creative

01:15carpenter asher edwards solid and secure who prides himself on being a perfectionist and it slots in

01:23like it came with the house together we're taking on one of the biggest declutters we've ever done the

01:37person we're about to watch now is a guy called robin he lives on his own he's a single dad and he

01:41also i hear struggles to let go of things so there's going to be a bit of clutter what we're about to see

01:46it's also going to be you having to convince robin to get rid of some of his stuff let's see how much

01:52stuff he has hi i'm robin i live in a one bedroom basement flat i've been here nearly five years

01:59i live by myself but my son comes down every other week in my previous flat i had a large loft to

02:08keep things kind of hidden away since i've had to move into somewhere a lot smaller i've obviously had

02:13to kind of cut back and downsize but slowly over the years i've gone to getting more stuff and slowly

02:21it's gone on top of me to the point where let's just say um i'm a bit saturated bless him so this

02:29is my living rooms clash crafting area arts and crafts have become a massive part of my life in the

02:37last couple of years they give me kind of like a fun thing to do instead of just getting home and

02:42sitting on the sofa watching the tv but it's got to that point now where it's actually adding to

02:48the clutter i definitely need to bring it under control i'm often losing things like my keys

02:55it's not a great look having to call into work and say sorry i'm running late because i'm locked in my

03:00flat so uh yeah that must be so hard to live like that collar obviously there's a lot of stuff as such

03:09but also a lot of furniture so i found these chairs dumped around the side from my new office

03:15i've got some beautiful tables if they're the right way up they'd be great makeshift projector

03:21screen for those movie nights which would be great if i had a sofa to sit on so this is my bedroom it

03:27will become the halfway house between you know things coming in like washing that's been finished

03:33and then unfortunately we end up with things like the floor drobe over there he's like got no room

03:39so about a year and a half ago i was diagnosed with adhd which is something i suspected for a

03:47number of years and um if i'm being honest kind of helped explain to myself kind of a bit of the

03:54reason behind things i do and especially things i don't do this is going to feel rewarding if we get

04:00this done anything that can possibly help me with as stress-free environment as possible is

04:06it's definitely going to be a massive benefit

04:08i think this is going to be one of the biggest organization sessions that is a lot of stuff

04:16the bedroom i mean we're going to get a lot of that stuff off the floor he was standing literally

04:21in between the bed and like trying to walk like this but i feel like that's configured wrong i feel

04:25like we need to move that bed around somehow asha and just reshape that bedroom and create some more

04:30space in the living room he's got the dining table or a table behind him with all these arts and crafts

04:36that needs to be designated to a dining table for when his son comes over and then he also needs

04:41somewhere to do his arts and crafts so if we do reconfigure the bedroom maybe we could put like

04:45a crafts table in there the first thing i'm going to do is sort out all the clothes which are on the

04:50floor and put them back into the wardrobe that will then give us space to create that craft station

04:55which you can work your magic on i've spotted some of the furniture in the living room that i might

05:01be able to use as the base for the crafting table and i'm going to make sure it's nice and big

05:06because the crafting table he's got right now is far too small robin like a few of us if we admit

05:12it personally i'm the same loses his keys and his phone puts it down somewhere forgets where it is

05:17i'm the worst for it so i'm going to create something in the hallway what my dad created for me

05:22as you first walk in you can't miss it keys phone walk through and then whenever you need to find it

05:27you know where it is a place for everything and everything in its place ah like over the next

05:35two days we're going to help robin reclaim his flat and create more space for both him and his son to

05:40enjoy but before asha and i take on the fixes the place needs a serious declutter

05:47good morning hi robin i'm carla come into the living room thank you with such a big job on her

05:56hands right i am going to get my coat off carla wastes no time in tackling robin's overflowing

06:02dining table tell me what's on this table a bit of everything projects i've started so i've got my pens

06:08toys knickknacks combs you know it's always going to have a comb comb to hand and do you use this as

06:16well for dining that's the hypothetical plan okay right i've got a few things to help us to put

06:23all bits into categories is this where you find that it becomes a bit overwhelming not knowing how

06:29to start yeah there's just too much and then i move stuff and then that gets on top of other bits

06:36when we touch something let's think about what we're going to do with it okay

06:45the less things that we have then the more mental space that then frees up for us as well so yeah

06:51everyone gets that point and tries to do it all themselves and i think you just have to one day

06:56think right asking for help isn't the bad thing getting help is a great thing so ah the hardest thing

07:02is often to start and that's what we're doing right now we can move on to another zone

07:18the sofa i'm starting to just try and remember what it looks

07:20people say about finding things down the back of the sofa and we're actually trying to find a sofa

07:30behind the back of everything else see this is one of my favorite boxes so i'm gonna put this in a

07:36box is that for crafting no it's just a really nice box robin i can see that you're getting a little

07:43bit distracted by things which is easy to do because some of this you probably haven't realized you had

07:50you want to make decisions on things and i want to introduce something that i think is going to help

07:55keep you focused and that is using a time lapse video the goal is to clear the sofa so we can see

08:03the cushions underneath yeah let's set that up

08:07that's right ah my trousers creating a time lapse video of yourself cleaning can be a game changer

08:20if you find it hard to stay focused it compresses every bit of progress into seconds transforming even

08:26the toughest job into an achievement you can watch unfold carlo robin i think i'm ready for you

08:34robin so far we can see the sofa sit down let's enjoy the sofa

08:45what was it like knowing that you had a bit of accountability with a time lapse in the background

08:51filming you first of all not having the phone in my hand to distract me was good and kind of thinking

08:57to myself oh i've got to get to the end of it because if i don't get to the end of it then i'm not

09:01going to get the whole picture of start to finish in the bedroom robin finds the build-up of clothes

09:08overwhelming so carla's next job is to give him the motivation to work through them robin there's

09:13a bit of a situation going on here you know it's in transition it is just a case of stuff that i've

09:20washed and haven't had a chance to put away and then can't get into the wardrobe can't get into the

09:25drawers next thing you know it's just this own ecosystem we've got a technique that we can use to

09:30help keep us motivated we're going to set a timer for 10 minutes and just see how much we can get

09:36through in those 10 minutes yeah let's go so we got our tops bottoms donate and rehome

09:46setting a timer when cleaning is incredibly helpful for someone that's easily distracted

09:51that's two and a half minutes robin we are making great progress as it turns it into a manageable

09:57time-limited challenge instead of a never-ending chore yeah let's not get distracted yeah

10:05that's it timer we can start to see the floor yeah having the boxes definitely helps to kind of

10:12separate it and then i can take a box at a time to deal with instead of the whole bed but i'm going

10:17to leave you to just finish this off yep because set yourself another little timer if you want i've got

10:22this you've got you absolutely have this robin yes yes look at the floor look at the bed everything

10:35is in its rightful home it's good it's really good i can now see kind of the way forward which is great

10:45with day one drawing to a close there's one more job in the hallway that carla wants to tackle

10:51i've given this rug a really good vacuum but now i need someone big and strong to help me

10:58beat the rest of this dust out i think i've got the right tool for the job i think that will do the job

11:10what i can definitely see the dust coming out of that to keep your rugs fresh and dust free yes it's

11:16essential to beat them every few months as it loosens up deep-seated dirt and allergens that vacuums

11:23might miss get out that stuff robin has made amazing progress in just one day

11:34but there's still a bit more to do so carla stayed an extra day to help him get over the line

11:38it may have taken slightly longer than expected but what a transformation the clutter on the dining

11:49table has been streamlined and neatly organized into containers the sofa has been cleared and cleaned

11:56making space for him to relax and the pile of clothes on his bedroom floor have been sorted

12:03through with items he doesn't need donated to charity and before carla calls it a day she of course

12:14leaves asher and i some instructions for tomorrow

12:25over the past two days carla has been working with robin to reset his home

12:29and create a realistic plan for keeping things tidier going forward her hard work is done but for

12:34asher and me it's about to begin today asher is going to create some extra shelving in the living

12:41room alcoves and upcycle some of robin's existing furniture to create a crafting desk in his bedroom

12:48we're here i'll also try my hand at a bit of upcycling build a new dining table and create something to

12:54house robin's keys to stop him losing them whoa whoa whoa whoa that's got to be the biggest clear

13:00up i've ever seen wait have we even walked into the right house what are you thinking

13:06these alcoves are too empty for my liking need to utilize that properly but this big one

13:11it can't stay there we've got to get rid of that thinking shelving in there aren't you

13:14you know it you know we need it right if i tip the top down to you yeah be careful of the walls as

13:21well so we've got no paint on the van i think you might need to go up yeah up up up up there you

13:27go yes and our furniture reshuffle doesn't end there and remember he wants the living room to

13:33be back to a living room and he loves his crafting he wants a crafting table in here you know as well

13:38as i do it's not going to fit either side so i think this bed should come over to this corner

13:42leaving all this free space and that will allow us to put a crafting table in ready let's go oh it's

13:48nice i like all right it'll be a bit of a squeeze can you go up if these were my drawers would be so

13:54heavy because i've got about a thousand pairs of pants i don't need to know how many pants it's the

13:59one item i love to buy pants yep and up oh yes so far so good that was absolutely sublime that's it

14:13and now look at all this space literally moving those two pieces of furniture has opened up this room

14:18all you need is some of them some of them don't show me up you started it don't show me up in fact

14:25whilst you're feeling strong i've got a note here little surprise from carla mark and asher

14:29please build some shelves for these and that means the wardrives right well i'll leave you to that

14:34you all good no problem after getting himself told up asher starts on the shelves for robin's newly

14:43organized clothes and my first job is to find a solution to him constantly losing his keys

14:50this here is a wall hanging essentials shelf the reason why we're hanging on the wall is to get

14:55things off the floor and also it's always visible for him so what i'm going to do is put these hooks

15:00on the back of this as so we will hang the keys like that this is going to hang in the hallway as

15:08soon as you walk through the door so he can't miss it as soon as he goes in there's nowhere

15:11else you can place it other than here

15:18ta-da done now it's just getting the other ones in

15:24in the bedroom asher's storming ahead with the new wardrobe storage as per carla's request extra shelves

15:32i mean that's the least i can do for her because she's done such a good job organizing everything

15:37so this wardrobe can be dedicated to the clothing boxes and the second wardrobe for the hanging

15:42gear that's the job well done back outside with robin's new key storage sorted my next job is to

15:51make something special for when his son comes to visit now this stall somebody was getting rid of it

15:57so we got it for free and i thought this is a perfect stall in terms of sat at an arts and

16:04crafts table for robin's little boy but that's a little bit hard it's a little bit damaged it's got

16:09paint stains on it take that aside it's actually very nice so what am i going to do of course i'm

16:14going to cover the top with a bit of foam wadding and then the finish this lovely piece of fabric

16:22watch the magic happen i'm going to draw around the outside of the seat bread knife to cut through

16:29foam just gently cut around the line

16:35that should be just about done use it as a frisbee if you like so what i'm going to do with this

16:42double-sided velcro tape i'm going to stick the cushion lay the wadding flat turn the whole thing over

16:51wrap the wadding round the bottom of the stall staple it in and then cut off the excess

17:00and that there is the wadding done but it don't look great does it no so that's where the fabric

17:07comes in that will be our finish right that is nice and taut perfect so now what we're going to do

17:19we're going to work our way around the edges stapling and cutting

17:28and there you have it

17:30a stall that now looks trendy like you bought it from an interior design shop

17:35nice and taut comfortable because it's got the cushion

17:39look at that front of your arts and crafts table a stall upcycled the right way

17:51we've got the stall now all we need is a crafting table and that's where asher comes in we all know

17:57robin had a load of furniture inside his flat and i didn't want to get rid of all of it because i've

18:03seen a little bit of potential with two particular units so my plan is to place this unit on the left

18:12and there's a unit similar in height that i'm going to use to the right and with a piece of

18:17ply i'm going to bridge the two pieces together with a long piece of ply creating a whole new crafting desk

18:25for robin asher cuts the desktop from plywood and can finally give robin and his son the new crafting

18:33area they desperately need okay time to slot this worktop in place perfect because the worktop

18:44is covering over the radiator it's important that i cut out these slots on the worktop and that allows

18:51the heat to circulate and ventilate and keep the room nice and warm in the living room i'm also on

19:04table building duty carl has left this note for us to fix up this table robin is very resourceful he

19:11found this table it was getting thrown out and he's brought it to the house and we can really

19:15put this to good use so that i think just goes in like that i'm going to get a washer a nut that

19:23there is done it's not the lightest tables into that bay perfectly that there is perfect over halfway

19:34through the day and ashes still has to create some much needed storage in the living room carlo and robin

19:41have done a really good job clearing all of that space because they've done such a good job it means

19:46that there's so many boxes that we need to organize and those alcoves are the perfect place for that

19:52at the end of the day there's not going to be one wall without a shelf because we need all the storage

19:58we can get

19:59make sure you don't go too deep otherwise you'll surprise your neighbors

20:12then it's just the case of putting the plugs in the hole and now screwing the baton

20:20now hopefully this should

20:25absolutely wonderful

20:29with ashes new storage in place he calls it a day

20:34our legend what a day

20:36all right see you soon well done today smashed it see you there

20:40ash is off but i'm staying behind to add a few finishing touches

20:45right they're the last ones

20:47in just three days and with a limited budget has the clean it fix it team managed to turn robin's flat

21:02into an organized creative haven for him and his son

21:05it's not a good man

21:07robin how are you i'm good mate nice to see you coming to your home

21:13when we arrived robin's hallway was in much need of a deep clean and had no convenient place for him to leave his keys

21:19but now thanks to carla the whole space is spotless

21:25the rug is dust free and my new shelf means that robin will never lose his keys again

21:34oh hello this is slightly different that's tidy i like it it's going to be very handy

21:43especially me losing my plethora of keys exactly you can't walk anywhere in the house

21:47and put anything anywhere because you're going to literally walk past it that's perfect i might have

21:51to use it right now yes perfect there you go he's using it get in my man that's what you want to see

21:57this must make you just feel a bit more easy it was the kind of thing yeah as soon as i get home

22:01the first thing i see is clutter and immediately it sets my mood off so it's just like ah i don't

22:06want to be here i just want to really turn around and walk out it's like it feels like a bit like

22:10you're drowning because you're out of control you kind of you know you can see what you need to do but

22:14yeah just getting there is uh is the hardest part well let's see what else we've got for you

22:19because obviously the hallway now looks better let's go into your bedroom and see what we've

22:22done there shall we okay before robin's bedroom was piled high with clothes making it difficult to

22:29move around but once again carla has worked her magic robin's clothes have been sorted through and

22:37neatly organized into boxes stored away onto asha's new shelves the bed has been moved to make the

22:46space more functional and my upcycled stall and asha's new crafting desk have created a designated

22:53space for robin and his son to spend quality time together wow now that's now that is handy that is

23:07very handy vertical space that's good i think that's kind of like the thing that i've been envisioning

23:15is just having that space wow yeah that's much better obviously this little stall we upcycled got

23:26this in i'll wrap some fabric around it for you so your boy can sit on there next to you when you're

23:30doing your arts and crafts and stuff all your storage is up here you can keep your tools in there

23:35the bed just just the bed being over there how much more spacious is it feeling here it's great i did

23:40kind of dabble with it in this space before but the rest of the furniture just meant it was too

23:45cluttered so i think the radio and the radiator as well being where it is and i can see you've

23:50got the grills cut out which is great when you're standing in here robin and you look around in your

23:55bedroom and you remember how it was when your boy comes to stay with you for the weekend do you feel

24:00like this is going to make a real difference to your life definitely because i can see space and i can

24:04you know i can already picture him you know getting some toys out and playing with them

24:10and then me telling him to put them away because that's what sensible people do

24:14when it's just the two of you and you've got those moments together he's now so much more controllable

24:19so much more livable and just more of a happy place i think the kind of word you said is controllable

24:24because the times i do have with him are kind of i'm realizing more important because you know he's

24:30gone from being down here and to here and then suddenly he's up here so all those kind of firsts and

24:36those moments just are so much more significant so yeah having the headspace so i don't miss them

24:45is yeah it's priceless and also robin go and check out that cupboard over there okay

24:49oh cool that is that is perfect that is so much better shelves i can actually see stuff i can actually

25:00get to stuff and do you know what the main thing

25:03i can't remember the last time the doors actually closed let's go check the lounge out even there's

25:13more robin's final surprise is the living room when we arrived this space wasn't fit for purpose

25:20the dining table and sofa were unusable and a lack of suitable storage meant robin's crafting equipment

25:27and collectibles were everywhere but what a difference three days can make thanks to carla the clutter

25:35has been organized into containers and arranged onto ash's new alcove storage the sofa has been cleared and

25:42cleaned creating a space for robin to relax and the new and improved dining table means that there's now a

25:49designated area for him to eat and play ball games with his son

26:01i can see floor i can see yeah store again amazing storage so having that place to store things is

26:10fantastic and the boxes up here you've got a lot of stuff yeah we know that your figurines etc all we're

26:16doing is trying to create a more organized version of you and so you you can keep your stuff your wild

26:22and wacky stuff and all the stuff with your craft stuff in the boxes and your figurines we want you

26:27to keep that but we just want it to be a way off the floor safer for you safer for the little one

26:32yeah and just have more of a home back as well i now can look forward to just walking you know

26:36walking in after a day's work thinking oh i might do arts and crafts and then actually sit down and think

26:41do you know what i might watch a movie or might listen to some music might read a book and i don't

26:47feel suffocated suffocate yeah there were times that i would think i have got home and sat in my car

26:56outside just kind of putting off that inevitable when i could be in here kind of relaxing just feels

27:02like that that literal kind of like the phrase weight off your shoulders i think the first thing i'll

27:08be doing is ringing around a couple of mates saying you know you know next friday next thursday come

27:12play some board games it's going to be a game changer enjoy it my man cheers bring in give it all that

27:18one lots of love pal enjoy it thank you again man okay see you later

27:22i think it's going to take a while to to kind of sink in and i feel calm and kind of grounded which you

27:38know is something i haven't had for a long time now it's in this state i'm more even more motivated to

27:45keep it this way and just enjoy it i can have friends over when my son's over i can focus on the

27:52time i have with him it's yeah it's a game changer you can just see the release just come away from

28:01robin just the fact that he can see his floor that's what he said the fact he can have games night with

28:06his friends and do crafts with his son with actual space things are in boxes he seems so happy and i'm

28:12so happy for him what's a moment
