House and flat clearance in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (1080)

Molenbeek's workers' houses are narrow and long: one room behind the other, a steep staircase and often a courtyard or a small outbuilding at the back. Clearing them takes method. We work floor by floor, starting at the top to keep the way out clear, and we dismantle large furniture before carrying it out.

• on-site sorting into what is donated, recycled or removed;
• outbuilding, courtyard and cellar handled in the same job;
• the items you are keeping gathered in one room from the start.

The details are on our full house clearance in Brussels page.

Between Chaussée de Gand and the upper part of the municipality, many households live in flats. Whether it is for a relocation, a move into a care home or the end of a lease, we clear the whole flat or only certain rooms. The floor, the lift and access for the van are checked during the visit, then reflected in the written price. Learn more about flat clearance in Brussels.

Under the roofs of Molenbeek houses, the attic has often served as a store room for years. We bring down boxes, mattresses and small furniture, and sort with you when family belongings are still up there. If the hatch or the staircase is narrow, furniture is taken apart upstairs. Anything reusable is donated rather than thrown away, and the rest is sorted for recycling. See attic clearance for details.

The cellar of a terraced house keeps a bit of everything: tools, jars, old bikes, a dismantled boiler left behind. We clear it by hand, carry the items up the cellar stairs and set aside what goes for recycling. The floor is swept at the end. A cellar can also be cleared on its own, without touching the rest of the house. The cellar clearance page describes the service.

A full courtyard, a garage to free up or a few large pieces of furniture: this is a partial clearance, without emptying the whole home. We load straight from the courtyard or the garage, so there is no need to put everything out on the pavement beforehand.

For a small load, the regional bulky waste service or the mobile Recypark announced by the municipality may do the job (see the practical information). When the load is bigger, access is awkward or the date is close, see our junk removal in Brussels.

When a home has to be vacated after a death, we always begin by setting aside what matters to the family: official papers, photos, jewellery, keepsakes. The heirs then decide what is donated, recycled or removed. The fixed written price makes it easy to share the costs clearly, and the date is set to suit the family. See estate clearance after a death.

Along the canal, Molenbeek still has former workshops, depots and ground-floor shops. Clearing them is nothing like clearing a house: workbenches, metal shelving, stock, counters, sometimes commercial kitchen equipment.

• shelving and furniture dismantled;
• sorting between what is recycled and what is removed;
• a time slot chosen so as not to disturb the neighbours or your business, 7 days a week from 7 am to 8 pm.

Everything is on the office and shop clearance page.

Once the house or workshop is empty, we can sweep, vacuum and mop the empty rooms. It is a simple clean, meant to make the property presentable for a sale viewing or when you hand back the keys. In a workshop, the floor is swept and vacuumed in the same way as in the living rooms. Just ask for it at the visit: it is then written into the quote. See cleaning after a house clearance.
