Sparkling Services clears and cleans hoarded or unsanitary homes in Charleroi (6000), including situations linked to Diogenes syndrome. We work discreetly and without judgement, with a crew in protective equipment, papers and keepsakes set aside, and thorough cleaning and disinfection. The site visit is free usually within 48 hours, alongside family, a social worker or the landlord.
Hoarder house clearance in Charleroi: our approach
A home so cluttered that it is no longer habitable can be found in every part of Charleroi, from the Ville-Haute to Ransart. Often it is a relative, a landlord or a CPAS social worker who contacts us because the situation can no longer wait. We work discreetly: no fuss outside the door, no judgement, and the occupant is involved in decisions whenever possible. We wear protective equipment, remove waste and accumulated belongings, then disinfect the rooms. Important papers, photos and items of sentimental value are set aside as we sort. The aim is a healthy home again, one the person can move back into or the landlord can let once more.
A severely cluttered home in Charleroi first needs a calm, non-judgemental assessment: volume, hygiene, access and what must be saved. We then agree a step-by-step plan and a fixed price. On the day, the crew works with protective equipment; cleaning and disinfection can go on the same quote.
Cluttered home in Charleroi: a discreet approach
An unsanitary home in Charleroi, whether a terraced house or a Ville-Basse flat, quickly worries the neighbours, the landlord or the housing company. The job is prepared with the occupant and, depending on the case, a relative, the court-appointed administrator or the CPAS of Charleroi. During the visit we assess access, the condition of floors and stairs, the presence of organic waste and what absolutely has to be saved: papers, jewellery, photos. On the day, the team wears protective gear, opens up and ventilates, works calmly room by room and takes sealed bags straight to the vehicle. In an apartment block, we agree lift use and hours with the property manager. Once the home is empty, we clean and disinfect; where there are pests, a licensed pest controller is recommended before re-letting or renovation.
Hoarding clearance in Charleroi: terraces, Lower Town, Gosselies
In a terraced worker's house or an old miners' cottage, the build-up often spreads into the cellar and back yard as well as the living rooms. We start by making the entrance and stairs usable, then work from front to back, always keeping a clear path to the door. In Jumet, Marchienne-au-Pont or Montignies-sur-Sambre, we also check the state of the yard before placing anything there.
In the apartment buildings of the Upper and Lower Town, the issue is how long we spend in shared areas: we prepare bags indoors, then bring them down in short runs. Towards Mont-sur-Marchienne or Gosselies, the larger houses may take several days, with a separate garage or attic. When the resident stays on site, we clear a retreat room for them from the very start, where they can settle while the team works.

Why choose Sparkling Services in Charleroi?
We judge no one. In Charleroi, items that can still be used are put to good use, with their value deducted from the price, or offered to social-economy organisations, depending on what they accept; papers, photos and personal belongings that turn up go back to the occupant or the family. The home is handed back emptied, swept and, where agreed, disinfected.
