We hired Ceri and the team to revamp and redesign our front room. We had gorgeous shelving built by Jon, which helped us utilise the space perfectly.
Ceri was so consultative and really helped bring my vision to life - with the right amount of advice and practical suggestions.
We are now looking at more rooms to update and refresh - can't do it quick enough!
Thanks Ceri!

An excellent service. Very efficient and with continual feedback on what is happening. The dressing of the flat was modern and bright with various drapes etc which show a homely touch.

Amanda
We tried to sell our family home since the spring of 2023 with no success. We asked Ceri to help. The moment I met her, I knew I was in safe hands. She and her team repaired, sorted and staged our home. The best part was that she took care of everything! I didn’t have to be available for questions or help moving anything. Ceri is incredibly capable and just rolls up her sleeves and transforms your home. What an incredible difference . We've accepted an offer within 4 days of them finishing up. Highly recommend.

Ceri and her team did such a great job! Our estate agent recommended Ceri when we weren't having much luck selling our property or even getting many viewings.
Ceri had some great advice, and transformed the place. The number of viewings and we went on the sale the property in a couple of months.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sort, Style and Stage; and would even consider using them again in different capacities.

We’re part way through converting a Victorian property into two apartments. We want to maximise the resale value so we decided to seek interior advice and staging expertise. We called in Ceri. Immediately we were impressed by the depth of her knowledge on how to add impact and value to our projects and doing so in a cost effective way. We’re busily getting on with her recommendations. If you have a development, we’d recommend that you speak with Ceri so you maximise your return.” More...

A family member’s home, a probate property, has been for sale for many months with no success so we reached out to Ceri for help. We are very impressed with Ceri’s knowledge and insight on how to add value and went about implementing her recommendations. We were about to move forward with home staging and now we’ve sold. We highly recommend sort style and stage. More...

I wanted to make some interior changes to our son’s bedroom. I needed some advice on how to utilise the space in a smaller bedroom. Clothes storage, lighting, bed, etc. I reached out to Ceri, who listened to what I was trying to achieve. Ceri came up with very stylish, practical, exciting ideas. I can’t wait to get started. Ceri, can transform any room or your entire home. Highly recommend. More...

Tirion
I was preparing to relocate to Australia and I was finding the task of packing both daunting and overwhelming. I called upon Ceri at short notice and she worked with me to both sort and pack my possessions. Ceri was so supportive, efficient and non-judgemental. She made the whole task seem so easy and stress-free, I was so relieved to have her support and assistance throughout. I would 100% recommend Ceri to anyone who needs any help with organising, sorting, packing, styling, staging - you name it! She provided a 5* service and I would not hesitate to call for her help again. Thank you Ceri. More...

HEADLINE-
“Ceri Owen and her team at SSS are rare “birds”!”
This is not a misogynist tweet but a genuine tribute to people who do their job exceptionally well.
In a world where alibis for failure exceed accolades for success, Ceri has been a pleasure to work with – energetic, visionary and infectiously enthusiastic about the services she offers and delivers reliably.
You can depend on her. Her company SSS could be renamed “Sympathetic Service & Smiles. In our case she transformed large but soulless living spaces into a home with a welcome and the sought after “wow” factor. Ceri is a delight to work with. We have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking the range of services SSS provides with such tasteful STYLE.

Trevor
Home Staging
We were thinking of selling our family home but did not know where to start. We also wanted to achieve the highest re-sale value.
We reached out to Ceri and she produced a detailed report so we very clear on where we needed to focus our efforts. Once we completed the repairs, her team elevated our home by sorting, adding some furniture pieces and accessories and then staging. They even took some of our items to a warehouse for storage. As we’ve never done this before we were not quite sure how the staging would work, particularly as we work from home. The team worked around us, quietly and efficiently. The final step was the photoshoot – the photos are just stunning!!
What sort style and stage have done, is given a new lease of life to our home – it looks incredibly welcoming, the spaces work better and we now have the best opportunity to sell. The estate agent even remarked that we have truly elevated what was an already stunning home.
We can’t thank the team enough and we’d highly recommend sort style and stage.

Susanne Sayers
"We had struggled to sell our home which had been a long term rental.
We are based abroad so needed someone we could trust.
Ceri provided a detailed report on what we needed to be done to make our property attract more buyers.
We knew then we were in safe hands. Ceri's team made essential repairs, tidied up the garden (front and back) and then they created fabulous virtual images even showing buyers how to create a new kitchen and bathroom.
Our property has now been relaunched for sale and our estate agent has shown us the positive impact on the viewing levels.
We'd highly recommend their services. "

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ceri to help stage our family home. We found her company on bark and from the very get go Ceri was professional and incredible knowledgeable!
! She prepared an extremely detailed report on our home after the first consultation which detailed how she could improve our home. We loved Ceri straight from the get go!
Then came the home staging which blew us away, the small details, amazing furniture and Ceri's amazing team breathed life into our rather bland home! We still cannot believe how amazing our home looks! Ceri with her incredible and friendly team did a fantastic job!
Ceri really is a dream to work with, if you are reading this please do not hesitate to contact her. We will definitely be working with Ceri in the near future and have already recommended her to family and friends!

It was an excellent experience working with Ceri from Sort, Style & Stage. Ceri project managed a major house renovation from start to finish. Her planning was meticulous. She obtained 3 fair quotes for each part of the project and oversaw the works, including roof, bathroom, kitchen, new floors, decoration and garden revamp. All work was overseen to an incredibly high standard and I can’t recommend Ceri from S, S & S highly enough. More...

She helped me to stage my home and get it ready for selling.
It looked so good I did not want to leave!
The house sold quickly and for the full asking price. Ceri was so professional and sensitive to the process we went through together. I had completed confidence in her and her team.
I highly recommend her.

Ceri was consultant for both a house move and a house conversion to rental. She was professional, prompt and sensitive throughout. It’s evident that she loves her job and is deeply knowledgeable when it comes to marketing properties. In fact, her property write-up for our house was miles better than an estate agents. She also produced realistic photo renderings which is cost-effective compared to a full house renovation. What I love most working with Ceri is the genuine caring attitude towards my financial commitments and a realistic approach to what’s affordable. I have many more projects to do and I know that she is going to be my trusted advisor for upcoming ones too. More...

Clare Reid
Home Staging
Deciding to work with sort style and stage is one of the best decisions I ever made. Ceri completely transformed a tired and dated house (and person) into something amazing (the house, not the person!
)
She took the stress out of everything, and approached the project with extreme professionalism, a keen eye and incredible efficiency. She has an amazing ability to see what needs to be done, and is able to do this whilst still respecting personal taste. The end result is a house which appeals to a wide range of people, and which has increased in value.
Ceri’s has an enviable talent for sourcing goods and services, and her team is also brilliant. They are responsive, respectful and very good at their jobs.
I don’t have the words to recommend sort style and stage highly enough - they’ve given me back a house I had once loved but had fallen out of love with, and they’ve done it with speed, sensitivity and all round brilliance!

I recently have had the pleasure of working with Ceri and her team, staging my 2 bedroom Maisonette in South West London.
We had just undergone an extensive renovation programme with a view to quickly selling our home and moving to our forever home.
The renovation was very modern and our existing furniture wouldn't have shown the property to its best advantage.
I had had staging mentioned to me by the estate agents and also an American friend, where the practice is quite standard, but I was a little nervous about the whole process.
From the moment I spoke with Ceri, I knew I was in expert hands. We had a very tight time frame turnaround and, but this didn't phase her at all (neither did our constant changes!).
One of my key considerations, was that we were keen to live back in our property, but thought that that would be impossible with staged furniture. However, Ceri was very happy for us to move home.
Our flat went on the market on Wednesday, we had viewings on the Saturday and sold on the Monday so we couldn't be happier.
Thanks Ceri for everything you have done for us and for talking me off a few ledges.

Sort Style and Stage helped re-invigorate both my front and back garden after moving into a new property. Throughout the project the team were fantastic to work with. Ceri brought great ideas to the table, enquired and listened to my own personal tastes and created a lovely space for me to sit outside and relax, as well as making it both dog and cat friendly. Both an efficient & cost minded approach, coupled with a personable style & excellent end result means Ceri and team were a pleasure to work - I would recommend highly! More...

Jim Morris
Very much worth the money - asking price offer on the first day!
We had been struggling to sell our 4 bed character property outside Henley upon Thames for over a year with no offers.
The estate agent suggested staging the now empty house - and we are really glad we found Ceri. She has a real appreciation for what buyers see that owners often dont and put us together a personalised action plan for making the house its very best self.
Over the course of a few days she spruced up the garden, installed furniture, lights and wall hangings, and even brought in more light with well placed mirrors.
The finished product was show home pristine and is well beyond anything we would have achieved ourselves. However the real benifit was with the buyers - who were the first people to see the house staged and put in an asking price offer in before the house was even back on rightmove.
Having the house professionally staged was well worth the money, and looking back at all the time we'd spent trying to sell it previously, I wish we had done it sooner and saved ourself the time.
thanks Ceri!

Ceri was super quick in reaching out to me and whilst at first it wasn't quite what I was after, in a matter a a few moments she clearly explained her offering and it made great sense.
In this day and age where we all need to be mindful of unnecessary waste, virtual staging is a God-send.
Ceri's communication was quick and regular, keeping me updated to the the progress.
The end result was just amazing. My wife even commented:
“Wow, this is a place I could live in. "
I wanted to attract as many tenants as possible and we certainly achieved that with sort style and stage’s virtual images. The property went under offer on day one.
We’ll certainly use them again.

We asked Ceri to supply and stage our 5 bed HMO at very short notice. She and her team worked incredibly hard, to a tight budget and delivered a high quality product.

Ceri is a delight to work with and I’d highly recommend her services.” More...

Ceri at Sort, Style and Stage is excellent. She reached out to me by phone first thing Monday morning after I 'barked' for help on Sunday evening.
I returned her call explaining that I was primarily seeking advice to pass on to family dealing with a probate house sale. She provided a wealth of knowledge that has been invaluable.
Sadly, I could not persuade family members of the value of outsourcing staging to sell the house quickly and maximise any offer. Ceri was very understanding and simply said they'd be there as and when we needed them if the house doesn't sell as quickly as we'd like!
Top notch customer service and experience. I'd recommend to anyone.
