An attic to clear in Namur 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 Namur: our approach
In Namur, the attics of the Corbeille and Salzinnes belong to old town houses, often under pitched roofs, reached by narrow stairs that mean carrying everything down by hand; some houses are split into flats. In Jambes and Saint-Servais, the terraced houses have an unboarded loft above the bedrooms, reached by a hatch or pull-down ladder. In villages such as Wépion, Malonne or Temploux, villas often have converted lofts, and old farmhouses have large attics under the timbers, where furniture, tools and old objects pile up. We clear the attic on its own, even if the house stays occupied, and leave it swept.
Pigeon droppings, abandoned nests, decades of dust: some attics in Namur 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 Namur: access, carrying down and removal
In Namur, planning an attic clearance starts with the road: any occupation of the public road for a removal must be authorised by the City of Namur's Domaine public et sécurité department at least 10 working days ahead. We handle this as soon as the date is confirmed, which matters if a roofer or insulation firm is due straight after. In the Corbeille, the descent down narrow stairs is done in light loads, with furniture dismantled in the attic. In a farmhouse in Temploux or Malonne, the attic is bigger but rougher: uneven floor, dust, sometimes birds' nests. We move carefully and keep droppings and soiled waste apart. BEP Environnement's recycling parks are for residents; on our jobs, reusable items go to social-economy organisations and the rest to suitable recycling channels, without using those parks.
Namur attic clearance: the pedestrian Corbeille, Jambes and Vedrin
In the Corbeille, the historic centre enclosed by the Sambre and the Meuse, old homes and commercial floors line narrow, often pedestrianised streets. Loading there is planned with the City: the truck waits at the agreed point and we bring what comes down from the attic out by trolley. An attic above a commercial floor is best cleared outside busy hours.
On the right bank, Jambes has recent buildings and townhouses next to the regional administrations: in an apartment block, the lift is booked according to the co-ownership rules. For landlords letting rooms to students of UNamur or the colleges, summer remains the easiest time to clear the loft. In villages such as Vedrin, Dave or Bouge, some houses cling to the valley slopes; the visit is then used to find the best loading point.
