An attic to clear in Uccle 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 Uccle: our approach
In Uccle, attics are like the houses: large. The villas of Saint-Job, Fort Jaco or the Observatoire and the town houses often have a loft spanning the whole house, sometimes converted into roof rooms, sometimes left bare with partial boarding. Decades of family life build up there: travel trunks, period furniture, toys, books and festive decorations. The outbuildings and garages, often roomy too, can be cleared the same day. In the upmarket apartment buildings an attic is less common. We take time to sort, as these lofts often contain items of value. Whatever you want to keep is set aside first.
Pigeon droppings, abandoned nests, decades of dust: some attics in Uccle 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 Uccle: access, carrying down and removal
In a large Uccle attic, the value of the contents often works in your favour. Period furniture, old trunks, light fittings, bound books or collectable toys can cover the cost of the clearance, which then becomes free, or exceed it: in that case we pay you the difference. Sorting is therefore careful, and whatever you keep is set aside before anything leaves. On the street side, a space with no-parking signs has to be requested from the municipality of Uccle a few days before the job, especially in narrow, sloping streets or shopping areas such as Globe or Calevoet. In the villas, the descent often goes down a fine wooden staircase, which we protect along its full height. The Humanité and Sud Recyparks in Forest are the nearest regional sites for residents' own drop-offs; our loads follow suitable reuse and recycling channels.
Uccle attic clearance: maids' rooms, Avijl plateau and Vivier d'Oie
In Prince d'Orange, Fort Jaco or around the Observatory, many villas have maids' rooms under the roof, as well as a full basement and a double garage. Clearing these former rooms is often like clearing a small flat: beds, wardrobes and boxes have been relegated there over the decades. When the rest of the house also needs emptying, we handle everything in the same job.
Sloping streets and wooded lanes, such as around the Avijl plateau, sometimes make the truck's approach tricky: the visit is used to choose the right vehicle and loading point. Around Vivier d'Oie and Stalle, upmarket apartment buildings have their own rules: a booked lift, a loading bay or an underground car park. Books, collections and heavy furniture from the mansion houses of Saint-Job or the Globe are inventoried with you before any decision is made.
