What is the average cost of a house clearance?

The cost varies depending on the quantity and value of items present. With our 3 transparent pricing options, the service can be entirely free if the value of your belongings covers our costs. Otherwise, we provide a competitive and transparent quote. Contact us for a free estimate.

Can a house clearance really be free?

It's very simple. When we come to your house, we calculate two things: 1. The cost of our work: trucks, our team's labor, disposal/recycling fees, and our business margin. 2. The value of your items: furniture, antiques, and objects we can resell. • If your items are worth EXACTLY the cost of our work = The clearance is 100% FREE. • If your items are worth MORE than our work = We clear the house AND pay you the difference. • If your items are worth LESS than our work = You pay a clear, fixed price to cover the remaining costs.

How long does it take to clear a 3-bedroom house?

Generally, a team of 2-3 people can clear a 3-bedroom house in one day (6-8 hours). For more complex cases or difficult access, this may extend to two days. We assess this during the quoting process.

What if the house is hard to access or has no lift?

This is our daily work. We operate in upper-floor apartments across Brussels, in narrow streets in Ixelles or Schaerbeek. We handle the lift reservation and sort out parking permits with the local municipality for you.
