Unboarded loft, roof room or timber-framed attic in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (1080): our team works on the joists, dismantles furniture too large for the hatch and sorts everything by channel. The price is fixed before the job, and the clearance can be free if your items have value.
Attic clearance in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean: our approach
In lower Molenbeek, near the canal, the narrow workers' houses have a low loft under the roof, often reached by a hatch or a very steep stair above an already tight stairwell. It holds suitcases, mattresses, dismantled furniture and sometimes supplies linked to the area's former workshops. Further up, towards the Karreveld and Scheutbos, the 1930s houses have roomier lofts, sometimes a roof bedroom, filled over several generations. We clear the attic on its own, by hand, taking care of steps and walls, and leave the loft swept. Photos, papers and keepsakes found up there are set aside for you before anything leaves.
- 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 Molenbeek-Saint-Jean: access, carrying down and removal
In lower Molenbeek the streets are narrow, and a parking space with no-parking signs, requested from the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean a few days ahead, is essential for the truck to park at all. It also shapes the job: with a space at the door, the chain runs from the attic straight to the truck without anything left on the pavement. In these workers' houses, the final flight up to the loft is often narrower than the rest of the stairs; wardrobes and beds taken up long ago are dismantled on site. The lofts of the 1930s houses towards Osseghem and the Scheutbos mainly need sorting: photos, papers and keepsakes are set aside for you. The Demets Recypark across the canal and the Mobile Recypark visits in spring and autumn serve residents; our loads follow suitable reuse and recycling channels.
Molenbeek attic clearance: Maritime, Chaussée de Gand and Osseghem
In the Maritime district, a stone's throw from Tour & Taxis, social housing blocks stand alongside converted industrial buildings. For an attic in a managed building, the job is coordinated with the managing company: access to common areas, the lift if there is one, and timing. Along the Chaussée de Gand, the market and shops make loading trickier on some days, so we set the date accordingly.
Many clearances here begin with a ground-floor shop to be vacated, and the attic upstairs is sometimes part of the same job: one quote, one street reservation. Further up towards Osseghem, the apartment blocks and 1930s houses change the method, with wider staircases and more gardens to sort in. Anything that can be used again is offered for reuse, and the rest goes to suitable recycling channels.
