Our Articles and Guides

Everything you need to know about house clearance, successions and recycling in Belgium.

Our practical guides

Clearing a house after a succession, preparing a sale or emptying a basement in Brussels always raises the same questions: how much, how long, and where to start. Our guides give 2026 prices, real timelines and the checklists our crew uses on site.

Start with our succession guide, our 2026 prices and our full checklist. Every article ends with a free estimate within 48 to 72 hours: send 5 to 10 photos and we tell you which plan applies — including the no-cost option when the goods' value covers the job.

How much does house clearance cost in Brussels?

Between €650 and €2,800 depending on volume and access. Furniture and antiques value is deducted, and the job can be free when that value covers our costs.

How fast do you intervene?

Estimate visit within 48 hours and job within the week across the 19 Brussels municipalities plus Walloon and Flemish Brabant.
