Sparkling Services
Sparkling Services: house clearance specialists in Belgium
Sparkling Services is a Belgian house clearance company that fully clears houses, apartments, basements, attics, garages and offices in Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia. We work in English, French and Dutch for private clients, families dealing with an estate, landlords, estate agents, property managers and businesses, including the many expats and international residents in Brussels.
The way we work is simple. We visit the property free of charge (or assess it from your photos), estimate the volume in cubic metres and send you a written quote that sets out exactly what is included: labour, dismantling, transport, sorting, waste processing fees and a final sweep. The price depends on the volume, access, sorting, any cleaning and the deadline, and is set in the quote. On the agreed day our team usually clears the property in 1 to 3 days, depending on its size, and hands it back empty and swept.
The value of your belongings counts: reusable or resellable furniture and items are deducted from the cost of the clearance. Depending on the case, the clearance is free, we pay you the difference, or you pay a fixed price, and the option is written in black and white in the quote. Items in good condition with no market value go to charities and social enterprises (for example Les Petits Riens, Oxfam, Terre or De Kringwinkel), depending on what they accept; everything else is sorted by material and handed to suitable waste processors.
We help after a bereavement, before a sale, when a parent moves into a care home, at the end of a tenancy, after a business closure, or in a hoarded property, always with discretion. If you cannot be there, we work from a set of keys and send you photos once the job is done.

How it works
How does a house clearance work?
01
Free visit or photos
We usually visit within 48 hours, or assess the job from your photos and videos. You tell us what you want to keep.
02
Detailed written quote
You receive a clear quote based on volume, access and type of contents. No obligation until you accept it.
03
Clearance on the agreed day
The team dismantles, packs and removes everything, from basement to attic, usually in 1 to 3 days depending on size. We arrange parking for the van.
04
Sorting, donation and handover
Reusable items are donated, the rest is recycled. The property is handed back empty and swept; a full deep clean is available as an option.
Before / after
The same home, before and after our visit
Two real photos of the same bedroom, before and after the clearance: the cluttered room is handed back empty, ready for the key handover or the sale.
At Sparkling Services, items that are still useful get a second life and the rest is recycled; the value of anything that can be resold is deducted from your price. We sort on site during the clearance. Furniture, crockery, clothing, books and working appliances go to charities and social enterprises (for example Les Petits Riens, Oxfam, Terre or De Kringwinkel), depending on the region and what they accept.
Anything that cannot be reused is separated into streams: wood, metal, paper and cardboard, electrical and electronic equipment, and bulky waste. These are handed to sorting centres and recycling parks. Hazardous products such as paint and chemicals are handled separately, and asbestos must be removed by a certified contractor. The result: less waste incinerated, and a price that honestly reflects the work done.

House clearance: frequently asked questions
What budget should I plan for a house clearance?
It depends on the value of your belongings and the work involved. If reusable or resellable items cover the cost of the clearance, it is free; if they are worth more, we pay you the difference; otherwise you pay a fixed price on quotation, based on volume, access, sorting, any cleaning and the deadline. The site visit is free, the quote is free and with no obligation, and an estimate from photos is possible.
Can a house clearance be free?
Yes, when the value of the reusable or resellable furniture and items covers the cost of the clearance: you pay nothing. If their value is higher, we even pay you the difference. We assess this during the free visit or from photos, and the option is stated in the quote.
How long does it take to clear a house?
A full house is usually cleared in 1 to 3 days, depending on volume, number of floors and access. A studio or a basement often takes half a day. We usually visit within 48 hours and set the clearance date with you as soon as you accept the quote.
Do I need to be there during the clearance?
No, even if you live far away or abroad. Simply give us a set of keys and clearly indicate what should be kept. We send you photos when the job is finished, and any documents or keepsakes we find are set aside for you.
