House and flat clearance in Ixelles (1050)

The townhouses of Ixelles, around the ponds or Châtelain, often still hold a lifetime of furniture: a dining room, bookcases, guest bedrooms. When the house is sold or its occupants move out, we clear it level by level, dismantling large furniture on site. Sorting, donations, recycling and removal all happen in the same job. See house clearance.

Many Ixelles homes are flats, in apartment buildings or in divided townhouses. The difficulties are well known: a narrow staircase, no lift or one that is too small, a street where the van struggles to find a spot. We dismantle wardrobes and beds inside the flat, protect the stairwell and the common areas, then bring everything down in loading order. A student studio near the ULB, a rental flat between two leases, a parent's home: we also clear the private cellar in the building. See flat clearance in Brussels.

In Ixelles townhouses, the top floor often hides a loft full of trunks, books and furniture that is no longer used. We clear it by bringing everything down the main staircase, after dismantling the bulky pieces. Keepsakes and documents are set aside for you; the rest is sorted for donation and recycling. See attic clearance.

Building cellars in Ixelles are often narrow and low, sometimes next to the boiler room, along a corridor shared by every resident. They hold bikes, boxes, dismantled furniture, bottles and things forgotten by former tenants. We clear your cellar without blocking the shared corridor and keep access to the meters free. Everything goes up the building's stairs, then sorting splits it between donations, recycling and removal. The cellar can be cleared on its own, for example before a sale. See cellar clearance.

A sofa to get out, a bed after a move, a bike and some boxes: the municipality collects 3 m³ free of charge three times a year, and up to 6 m³ after a death or a move (see the practical information). For a bigger load, furniture to bring down from an upper floor or a fixed date, AAB Brocanteur handles it without clearing the rest of the home. See junk removal.

When a relative dies, their Ixelles flat often has to be returned to the landlord or sold. We clear the home with respect: photos, letters and papers are set aside for the family, useful furniture is donated, and the rest is sorted and removed. The fixed written price is given before the work, which makes it easier for the heirs to agree. See estate clearance.

Ixelles has many medical practices, professional offices and shops, from Toison d'Or to Flagey. At the end of a lease, a closure or a move, we clear the furniture, filing cabinets, equipment and display stands. The job can be done early in the morning or at the weekend, between 7 am and 8 pm, so patients, customers and neighbours are not disturbed. The premises are handed back empty to the landlord, with a VAT invoice. See commercial clearance.

Once the flat is empty, the team can do a simple clean:

• sweep every emptied room;
• vacuum the floors and corners;
• mop the floors.

The cellar is swept. The home is then tidy for a prospective tenant's viewing or the key handover. It is a simple, broom-clean finish and nothing more. Ask for it at the visit and it will appear in the written quote. See cleaning after a house clearance.
