An attic to clear in Hasselt 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 Hasselt: our approach
In Hasselt, the type of attic depends mainly on the area. In the shopping centre, town houses have a narrow loft under the roof, sometimes above flats, reached by a steep stair. In the residential areas of Kermt, Stokrooie or Sint-Lambrechts-Herk, detached houses have large lofts, often partly converted, with unboarded space behind the knee walls. Since Kortessem joined the city, rural villages add farmhouse and barn lofts, big and old, where old farm equipment is sometimes still stored. We adapt the team and the time allowed to each layout. Keepsakes and family papers are set aside for you first.
Before roof insulation in Hasselt, the loft must be completely clear. We empty it a few days before the contractor arrives, without touching the insulation in place. Stored rolls and offcuts are wrapped and removed, and any material that could contain asbestos is pointed out without being handled.
Attic clearance in Hasselt: access, carrying down and removal
Inside the ring road, the Groene Boulevard, access to Hasselt's pedestrian centre is restricted: the parking ban for the truck is requested from the City, and we check access options before setting the start time. In the detached houses of the residential areas, lofts are often cleared in two stages: first the eaves storage and the unboarded space behind the knee walls, then the roof rooms, dismantling beds and wardrobes assembled on site. In the farms of the former municipality of Kortessem, a barn loft may hold wood, metal, old tools and sometimes bags or drums of farm products, which we keep apart for suitable disposal. Items still usable can go to the social economy. Limburg.net's recycling parks serve residents; our loads follow suitable reuse and recycling channels. The loft is left empty and swept.
Hasselt attic clearance: the Groene Boulevard, Stevoort and Guigoven
Inside the Groene Boulevard ring, vehicle access to the pedestrian zone is limited to delivery windows. For an attic in the centre, we therefore time the descent around that slot: items are prepared and packed on the upper floors before access opens, then a compact van and handling trolleys cover the last few metres.
Wimmertingen, Spalbeek, Stevoort and Sint-Lambrechts-Herk are more spacious, with garages and gardens: the vehicle can usually park in front of the house and the loft can be cleared without time pressure. Since 1 January 2025, Guigoven, Vliermaalroot, Wintershoven and Vliermaal have been part of the city along with the rest of Kortessem; road-occupation requests there now go through the City of Hasselt, though we often simply load in the yard. Everywhere, we sort on site: donations to the social economy, recycling by material, and setting aside what you want to keep.
