An attic to clear in Anderlecht before the roofer arrives, before a sale or after the parents have moved out? We first set aside photos, letters and papers, then bring down trunks, furniture and boxes without damaging the stairwell. A few photos of the access are often enough for a free quote.
Attic clearance in Anderlecht: our approach
Anderlecht has very different attics from one district to the next. In Cureghem and the centre, the terraced Brussels houses have a loft under the roof, often reached by a hatch above the top landing, and some stand next to former industrial buildings whose top floor was used for storage. In Scheut, Veeweyde and La Roue, post-war houses tend to have an unboarded loft or a converted roof room. The Peterbos tower blocks have no attics, but towards Neerpede the rural-style houses sometimes hide large, old lofts. We adapt the team and equipment to each layout.
Pigeon droppings, abandoned nests, decades of dust: some attics in Anderlecht call for extra precautions. The team works with masks and gloves, dampens before collecting and bags that waste separately. If animals are still present, have a pest-control specialist come before us.
Attic clearance in Anderlecht: access, carrying down and removal
In Cureghem parking is very tight: a space with no-parking signs has to be requested from the Anderlecht municipal administration several days before the job, which is what lets the truck stand at the door rather than at the end of the street. In these deep houses, the attic is often only part of what needs clearing: a former workshop at the back of the plot or a store under the roof of a rear building may hold forgotten stock from an old business. We assess this at the visit so the quote reflects the real volume. Under the roof, suspect fibre-cement sheets or old roofing materials are pointed out and left in place: asbestos is excluded from our work. The Demets Recypark on Quai Fernand Demets takes residents' own drop-offs; our loads go to reuse charities and suitable recycling channels.
Anderlecht attic clearance: Saint-Guidon, Neerpede and Cureghem
Around Saint-Guidon, the multi-storey post-war houses mean a long descent from the attic: we spread the team across the landings and work in a chain, protecting steps and walls. In Cureghem, near the former slaughterhouses and Brussels-Midi station, terraced houses converted into several homes mean letting the other occupants know before we use the shared staircase.
Neerpede, almost rural, is a different kind of job: outbuildings, garden sheds and garages filled over the decades often come on top of the attic. We assess everything at the visit for a single quote and, where possible, a single day of loading. Anyone wanting to drop off a few items themselves can use the Mobile Recypark when it visits the neighbourhoods, and the Humanité and Sud Recyparks in Forest are close by. Our loads go to suitable processing centres.
