A few photos of the stairs are often enough for a free quote, and you do not need to be there.
Basement clearance in Charleroi: our approach
Under Charleroi's workers' houses, the cellar often runs beneath the whole house, in several low rooms. In Marchienne-au-Pont, Dampremy or Gilly, you almost always find the old coal store there, with its delivery hatch on the street side, next to shelves of jars, tools and retired furniture. The stairs, steep and poorly lit, often come out in the kitchen. We arrive with lamps, masks and heavy-duty bags, collect the coal residue and dust, then sweep. A heating oil tank installed later remains a job for a specialist: we clear the cellar around it. Usable items such as bikes or tools are set aside for reuse, and the floor is swept before we leave.
In Charleroi, we start with access: stair width, headroom, route to the street. From photos where possible, otherwise during a free visit. On the day, we set up lighting, clear the stairs first and carry the contents up in light loads, protecting steps and hallway.
Clearing a cellar in Charleroi: stairs, damp and access
What sets a Charleroi cellar apart is the amount of small debris: coal slack, old buckets, broken bricks, wood rotted on the damp floor. We shovel it into bags rather than leaving it behind. In the Ville-Haute, the townhouses on sloping streets sometimes have a cellar on two levels, and the way out is through the front door, above a few outdoor steps. In the Ville-Basse, apartment blocks have private storage cellars along a shared corridor. For the truck, temporary road occupation is requested from the City of Charleroi, whose road permits service also lends signs. Tibi's recyparcs are reserved for households; our loads go to suitable recycling channels. For large volumes of demolition rubble, we point you to the right solution. Anything still usable is offered to social-economy organisations.
Charleroi cellar clearance: Ville-Basse, Montignies and Marcinelle
Around the Sambre and the Rive Gauche shopping centre, the Ville-Basse has many shop-houses and flats above shops. To clear the cellar of such a flat, we agree the access and the time slot for carrying out in advance, so that the shop on the ground floor is not disrupted. In Montignies-sur-Sambre, the brick workers' houses and mining cités are narrow, with a yard at the back and sometimes a garden facing a slag heap: everything goes out through the house, in loads we can carry without knocking the walls.
Towards Mont-sur-Marchienne, Marcinelle or Gosselies, the roomier houses have a garage, which often offers a more convenient exit than the hallway. In these areas, a cellar clearance frequently follows a death in a home lived in for decades: we work at your pace and set aside papers and keepsakes. Jumet, Roux, Ransart, Couillet and Goutroux are covered in the same way.
