Clearing Out a House in Leuven
We completely clear out houses, apartments, and cottages in Leuven and the surrounding area: furniture, appliances, boxes, and everything from the basement and attic. We give usable items a second life, and we properly dispose of the rest. You’ll receive a clear price quote in advance.
What needs to go?
Do you have photos?
With photos we can give you an accurate price faster. Two or three are enough.
Where and when?
Where should we send your price?
Leuven Day
Every Wednesday in Leuven
On Wednesdays, we schedule all our jobs in Leuven and the surrounding area back-to-back. This helps us keep our prices competitive.
No travel expenses
On Wednesdays, you simply pay our standard rates in Leuven and the surrounding area. There are no additional charges for the ride.
Book by Monday at the latest
Then we can plan Wednesday well. Usually, photos are enough to determine the price. If we do need to come take a look, we'll do that on Wednesday as well.
Would you prefer a different day?
That's possible. In that case, we charge a flat call-out fee of €150 per trip (excl. VAT). Rush service within 48 hours is also available, with a 30% surcharge.
When
Why does the house have to be vacated?
Every situation is different. We adapt accordingly: with or without family present, all in one day or in stages.
After a death
Discreetly clearing out the home of a deceased family member, in consultation with the family or the notary.

For landlords, we clear out student rooms or an entire student house between tenants—even multiple rooms on the same Wednesday.

Clearing Out in Leuven: What We Keep in Mind
Old townhouses, narrow staircases, and limited parking: we take all of this into account when calculating the price you receive in advance.
Narrow staircases
Whenever possible, we use a ladder lift (up to €150 per hour). If that’s not possible, we’ll carry everything up the stairs: an additional €20 per floor.
Parking right outside the door
Our truck needs to be parked close to the door. If it’s more than 10 meters away, there will be an additional charge of €115. If a temporary parking ban is required, please request it from the city or municipality. We’ll let you know how much space we need.
Where we work on Wednesdays
Leuven, including Heverlee, Kessel-Lo, Wilsele, and Wijgmaal, as well as the municipalities surrounding Leuven: Herent, Kortenberg, Bertem, Oud-Heverlee, Bierbeek, Lubbeek, Holsbeek, and Rotselaar. Do you live a little farther away? Feel free to ask.
How it works
Here's how we'll clear out your home
1
Send photos
For every room, including the basement and the attic, via WhatsApp or our quote form. For larger homes, we’ll come take a look first, on a Wednesday.
2
You get a price
Usually within 2 hours via WhatsApp. Includes handling, transportation, and disposal fees—no surprises later.
3
We clear it out
On Wednesday. An entire home is usually cleared out in a single day. You don't need to be there—just leave a key.
4
Sorting and Disposal
Items that are still usable are donated to thrift stores or social organizations; the rest are sent to certified recycling facilities. After that, the home is ready for handover.
