House and flat clearance in Auderghem (1160)

Many Auderghem families live in a single-family house with a garden that has filled up over the years. When it is time to sell, or to move somewhere smaller, AAB Brocanteur clears every room, the garage and the garden shed in a single job. You tell us what you are taking; we sort, donate whatever can still be used and remove the rest. See house clearance in Brussels.

Auderghem's apartment buildings, especially near Boulevard du Souverain, need careful planning: access to the lift, the building's hours, a private storage cellar in the basement. We dismantle furniture that is too large, protect the route out and clear the flat on the date agreed with you. Useful when a lease ends or before a sale. See flat and apartment clearance.

In Auderghem houses, the attic is often the whole family's storeroom: decorations, trunks, books, children's clothes, small pieces of furniture. Before anything comes down, we do a first sort with you, or follow your instructions if you cannot be there:

• keepsakes and papers: set aside for you;
• reusable items: donated to charities;
• wood, cardboard and metal: separated for recycling.

When the only way up is a pull-down loft ladder, furniture is taken apart up there. See attic clearance.

The cellar is often the room that keeps getting put off: overloaded shelves, old appliances, empty bottles, DIY gear. In Auderghem we clear a house cellar just as readily as a storage unit in a block of flats, respecting the common areas. Electrical appliances are set aside for recycling, and so are metal and wood. If you are selling, an empty cellar shows better on viewings. See cellar clearance.

You do not have to clear the whole house: AAB Brocanteur also takes away a sofa set, an old fridge, or the contents of a garden shed or a garage. The municipality offers a home collection of 1 m³ per month on request (see the practical information), which suits a small load. For more, or if you cannot carry things yourself, we load up and take it all away. See junk removal.

Clearing the house of a parent who has died takes time and tact. In Auderghem we work at the request of the notary, one heir or all the siblings, with a single contact person. Anything of sentimental or administrative value is put aside: albums, letters, jewellery, bank statements, deeds. Useful furniture is donated, the rest is sorted and removed. The fixed written price is given in advance, which helps when the cost is shared between heirs. See estate clearance.

A medical practice, a professional office or a small shop to vacate? We remove the furniture, archive boxes and equipment, then hand the empty premises back to the landlord. The job can take place early in the morning or at the weekend, between 7 am and 8 pm, so your work is not disrupted. You receive a VAT invoice. See office and shop clearance.

Once the house or flat is empty, you can ask us for a simple clean. The team goes through every emptied room:

• floors swept;
• dust and corners vacuumed;
• floors mopped.

The cellar and attic are swept. The home is then tidy for viewings or for handing over the keys. It is a broom-clean finish and nothing more. Mention it during the visit and it goes into the quote. See cleaning after a house clearance.
