Photo assessment or a free visit, coordination with the syndic and the municipality, sorting, donation and recycling. A studio is often cleared in a single day, a larger flat within 1 to 3 days.
Apartment clearance in Aalst: our approach
In Aalst, flats are mainly found above the shops in the centre and in the more recent buildings near the station and along the Dender. The town has good rail links to Brussels and Ghent, and many commuters rent an apartment there, which means a steady turnover of tenants. In a flat above a shop, access is often through a side door and up a narrow staircase; in a newer block we book the lift and protect the common areas. We request the parking ban from the City of Aalst and set aside reusable furniture for social-economy organisations.
Clearing an apartment in Aalst prepares a specific step: the check-out inspection, the signing at the notary's or a new tenant moving in. We plan the clearance back from that date and can follow straight on with end-of-tenancy cleaning: kitchen degreased, bathroom descaled, windows and floors. One quote, one crew, and the keys handed to the letting agent or landlord as you instruct.
Clearing an apartment in Aalst: building, lift and managing agent
In central Aalst, many flats sit above a shop: access is through a side door and a narrow, sometimes steep stair running alongside the business. We dismantle furniture upstairs, protect the stairwell and shop entrance, and load outside opening hours if the shopkeeper prefers. Along the Dender, newer blocks have a lift, booked with the property manager and protected before the first load. The temporary parking ban is requested from the City of Aalst a few days ahead, stating address and duration, and we take care of it. During the carnival period the centre is heavily disrupted, so we plan the date accordingly. The allocated cellar or attic is cleared at the same time. Keys can be handed to the owner or agency.
Aalst apartment clearance: the centre, the Dender and the villages
Around the station and along the Dender, the working-class districts line up houses without a garage entrance: the vehicle stays in the street, on the space reserved with the City for the stated duration, and everything leaves through the front door. An upstairs home there is usually cleared down a single staircase, after wardrobes are taken apart.
During carnival, before Ash Wednesday, nothing is planned in the centre, which is closed off and packed. Out in Moorsel or Baardegem, far from the parade, a job remains possible if access is unaffected, which can save a key handover set for those dates. For a flat above a shop, timing is agreed with the shopkeeper when the entrance is shared, and the shop can usually stay open. In the outlying villages, Gijzegem, Herdersem, Meldert or Nieuwerkerken, family houses with gardens are easier to load. The ILvA recycling parks remain for households.
