Cellar, Attic and Garage Clearance in Brussels
A cellar, attic or garage cluttered for years, without needing to clear the rest of the property: we work across the entire Brussels Region for these specific spaces, sorting valuable items and fully removing the rest.
A targeted clearance, without emptying the whole property
Cellars, attics and garages are often the spaces where items pile up longest without ever really being sorted: tools, stored-away furniture, moving boxes never reopened, unusable bikes, seasonal decorations. Unlike clearing a full house or apartment, this service can cover just one of these spaces, or all three combined if your property requires it.
The principle stays the same regardless of the volume: we examine what's there, identify what can be bought back, then remove the rest through the appropriate channels. A free quote is drawn up beforehand, based on the actual volume and access conditions.
These ancillary spaces are also the ones people put off the longest: unlike a living room, a cellar or attic doesn't “get in the way” day to day, until the day a sale, an estate settlement or renovation work requires putting them back in order quickly. It's precisely in this kind of situation that a targeted intervention, without mobilising the whole house, makes the most sense.
Three spaces, three different logics
A cellar, an attic and a garage don't accumulate the same type of items and don't pose the same intervention constraints. Distinguishing between them helps anticipate how the job will unfold.
Cellar
Often vaulted in older Brussels buildings, damp, accessed via a narrow staircase. Typically holds wine, preserves, boxes, spare furniture and sometimes old tools.
Attic
Accessed via a staircase or hatch, sometimes under an uninsulated roof. Trunks, clothing, toys, old documents and dismantled furniture often accumulate here over several generations.
Garage
In a building's basement, a separate box or attached to the house. Often turned into a workshop or storage space: tools, bikes, tyres, DIY equipment and bulky furniture.
When this service makes sense
- Vaulted cellar cluttered for decades
- Attic to be cleared before renovation work
- Garage turned into storage over the years
- Forgotten items discovered during an estate settlement
- Preparing a property before it's put up for sale
- Restoring a shared space before renting it out
- Box or parking space cluttered with furniture or boxes
- Cellar to be cleared before an inspection or technical control
How the service unfolds
- 1
Description of the space
By phone or via the form, with or without photos: approximate surface area, type of access, what you wish to keep.
- 2
Free quote
We draw up an estimate based on the volume to be removed and the access conditions, with no obligation on your part.
- 3
On-site sorting
On the day of the intervention, we examine the items present before removing them, to identify what's worth buying back.
- 4
Full removal
The rest is loaded, transported and directed to the appropriate channels: recycling, donation or waste depending on the nature of the items.
What influences price and duration
Two cellars of the same size can require very different amounts of time: it's the volume actually piled up, not the square footage, that determines the scale of the job. Access also plays a direct role — a cellar accessible from the street empties faster than an attic reachable only via a hatch and a ladder, or an underground garage served by a narrow ramp.
The type of items present also matters: boxes and light furniture are handled faster than bulky furniture, rubble or heavy equipment. Since every situation is different, the precise estimate is always based on your actual case — see our prices and pricing factors page or our article on the duration of a cellar or attic clearance.
Spaces often full of surprises
A cellar or attic that has never really been sorted can hold items long forgotten: antique furniture, quality tools, trunks, tableware, various collections. Before any removal, we systematically examine what's there.
- Stored antique or period furniture
- Quality tools and equipment
- Collectible items (books, vinyl records, coins)
- Tableware, silverware and antique curios
Access and preparation
Every Brussels property has its own quirks: a vaulted cellar with a narrow staircase, an attic reached via a hatch, an underground garage in a building with a syndic, a shared parking box. We take this into account when organising the intervention — suitable equipment, time slot, parking the vehicle nearby.
On your side, it's enough to decide in advance what you want to keep and to let us know about anything particular (restricted access, co-ownership hours, fragile items). The rest of the organisation is taken care of on the day of the intervention.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to clear the whole house to use your service?
No. We intervene for a standalone cellar, attic or garage just as we do for a larger clearance. If you only have one space to clear, the quote covers only that space.
How do you estimate the price of a cellar or attic clearance?
The price depends on the actual volume to be removed, the nature of the items and the access conditions (stairs, hatch, distance to the vehicle). We draw up a free quote after seeing the space, on site or via photos, to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
What do you do with items still in good condition?
We examine them before any removal. Antique furniture, quality tools, collectible or valuable items may be bought back and deducted from the quote. See our item buyback page for details.
Is an attic only accessible via a hatch a problem?
It slows down the handling but doesn't prevent us from intervening. We take this into account when organising the job and, if necessary, in the price estimate communicated beforehand.
What happens to items with no market value?
Items with no resale value are removed and directed to the appropriate channels: recycling, donation when relevant, or waste depending on their nature. Sorting happens before removal, not after.
Can I request a garage-only clearance?
Yes. A garage turned into storage over the years, with forgotten bikes, tools, furniture or boxes, can be cleared independently of the rest of the property. The principle remains the same: free estimate, then full removal.
Do you cover all Brussels communes?
Yes, across all 19 communes of the Brussels-Capital Region. Local constraints (parking, buildings with a syndic, narrow alleys) are taken into account when agreeing on the intervention time slot.
