House and flat clearance in Schaerbeek (1030)

Schaerbeek's avenues are lined with multi-storey townhouses: often three floors, a cellar running the full length and an attic under the roof. Clearing a house like this usually takes a well-organised day, sometimes more.

• a room-by-room visit to estimate the volume and spot the items to keep;
• wardrobes and beds dismantled upstairs;
• continuous sorting: donations, recycling, removal;
• cellar and attic handled in the same job.

The whole method is on our full house clearance in Brussels page.

Many Schaerbeek houses have been divided into flats, and the municipality also has more recent apartment blocks. For a flat, we check the floor, the lift and the private cellar at the visit, then dismantle the furniture and carry it down, taking care of the shared staircase. Whatever can be reused goes to charities, the rest to recycling. The service is described on flat clearance.

Under the roof of a Schaerbeek house, the attic is often large and filled with what several generations stored there: trunks, frames, toys, dismantled furniture. It is the slowest room to clear, because everything has to come down three floors. We sort upstairs, set aside what you want to keep and donate what can be used again.

If access is by ladder or hatch, items are dismantled or passed down by hand. More details: attic clearance in Brussels.

Cellars in Schaerbeek houses often run under the whole house, in several compartments: coal store, wine cellar, laundry room. They fill up over decades. We clear them compartment by compartment, carry everything up the cellar stairs and separate metal, wood and waste for recycling. The floor is swept before we leave.

A cellar can also be cleared on its own, without the rest of the house. See cellar clearance.

For a partial clearance in Schaerbeek (a garage, a few pieces of furniture, an appliance), we collect the items from inside your home. If the load stays under 3 m³, the free annual Bruxelles-Propreté collection may be enough (see the practical information). For more, or for a date coming up soon, see our junk removal service. Usable items are donated, the rest goes for recycling.

In Schaerbeek, many families one day have to clear the large house where a parent lived for a long time, before putting it up for sale. The job starts with careful sorting: papers the notary will need, photos, letters and keepsakes are gathered for the heirs. Only then is the furniture donated or removed.

• nothing leaves without the family's agreement;
• a fixed written price to share between heirs;
• a date that fits the sale timetable.

From Place Dailly to Chaussée de Haecht, Schaerbeek has many shops and small offices. We clear them at the end of a lease or during a move: furniture dismantled, archives and equipment sorted, then removed. You get a fixed written price after a free visit of the premises, and the time slot is chosen between 7 am and 8 pm, 7 days a week. See commercial clearance.

After clearing a Schaerbeek house, we can sweep, vacuum and mop the emptied rooms, from the cellar to the attic. This simple clean makes the house presentable for sale viewings or the key handover, floor after floor. Ask for it at the visit: it will then be listed on the written quote.
