Attic clearance in Leuven: our approach
In Leuven, many attics belong to houses let as student rooms or studios. Under the roof you find what generations of students left behind: dismantled bikes, mattresses, desks, chairs, forgotten boxes. The old town houses in the centre have taller lofts under the timbers, reached by a narrow stair above the top floor. In Kessel-Lo, the terraced houses have an unboarded loft with a hatch or pull-down ladder, while the villas of Heverlee often have converted lofts with roof rooms. We clear the attic on its own, without disturbing the tenants below. Usable items go to the social economy.
- Unboarded loft: walking on the joists, never on the ceiling.
- Roof room: furniture dismantled to pass under the slopes.
- Archive attic: photos, letters and papers set aside for you.

Attic clearance in Leuven: access, carrying down and removal
Leuven's centre runs on a loop-based traffic plan that makes truck access harder: the parking ban is requested via the City's online counter several days ahead, and we choose the route accordingly. For a landlord of student rooms, the best time to clear the attic is summer, between two academic years, when the house is empty; in hot weather we start early to work under the roof in good conditions. Usable bikes and furniture are offered to the social economy, while mattresses and broken items go to recycling channels. In a family house in Heverlee or Wilsele, sorting is more personal: photos, archives and keepsakes are set aside for you. EcoWerf's recycling parks serve residents of the district; our loads follow their own reuse and recycling route. The attic is left empty and swept.
Leuven attic clearance: Arenberg, Wijgmaal and the Oude Markt
Around the Oude Markt and the Groot Begijnhof, the cobbled streets are narrow and busy: for an attic in that part of town, we arrive early and prepare loads on the upper floors so the vehicle spends as little time as possible outside the door. In Heverlee, around Arenberg park, professors' houses sometimes keep years of books, papers and keepsakes under the roof; documents are sorted with you before anything leaves.
Wijgmaal, more village-like, generally offers more room to park and to sort in front of the house. In Wilsele and Kessel-Lo, terraced houses are usually cleared in a single visit. The Vaartkom area, redeveloped along the canal, is covered in the same way. Anything reusable, such as furniture, bikes or books, is offered to the social economy, and the rest is sorted by material for recycling.
