Running a job in a large Nivelles house often hides monumental surprises behind cupboard and old-library doors. When the heirs mandated us for a Walloon Brabant bourgeois house, furniture was a fraction of the work: dozens of boxes of admin archives, yellowed invoices and correspondence accumulated over a century.
Here bulk disposal is strictly excluded, on pain of compromising family privacy.
The real challenge: rigorous sorting and data security
- Paper volumetrics: whole rooms of piled files, to examine to isolate important papers from mere leaflets.
- Confidentiality: no leak of personal or professional information, no scattered documents.
- Load: the cumulative paper weight upstairs demands methodical removal.
⚠️ Paper weighs tonnes
A century of archives upstairs: bulk removal overloads structures and carriers. Sorting table, sealed boxes, progressive rotations.
Our approach on site
- Central sorting table: dedicated station in the main room — photo albums kept, expired archives set aside.
- Secure packing: confidential files in bags and sealed boxes to a certified shredding and recycling stream.
- Overall removal: once papers and keepsakes secured, heavy furniture to approved streams.

The result
The Nivelles house was fully freed and cleaned, with absolute certainty that personal data had been handled with full rigour and discretion. Our trade goes well beyond hauling loads.
