Sparkling Services, founded in 2005 and based in Forest, in the Brussels-Capital Region, works seven days a week from 07:00 to 20:00: cellar, loft, garage and garden included, with three options depending on the value of your belongings: free clearance, we pay you, or a fixed price on quotation, set before the job.
House clearance in Aalst: our approach
Aalst is a town on the Dender with a character all its own, famous for its carnival but also for its long streets of terraced houses. In the centre, many buildings have a shop on the ground floor and living space above, reached by a narrow staircase, with an attic that has served as storage for years. Around the station and along the Dender you mostly find workers' houses, often without a driveway. Sections such as Erembodegem, Hofstade, Moorsel or Baardegem offer more room: detached houses, sheds and gardens with outbuildings. We match the crew and vehicle to each address, request the parking ban from the city and sort everything on site. Usable items go to reuse, the rest through suitable processing channels, and you get back a clean property.
In Aalst, a house clearance is planned room by room: what stays, what goes and how the truck reaches the door. You then receive a written quote including VAT covering the cellar, loft and garage. On the agreed day the crew empties, sorts and sweeps, so the house is ready for whatever comes next.
Clearing a home in Aalst: local considerations
In Aalst, carnival sets a simple rule: during the festive days before Ash Wednesday, no clearance is planned in the centre, where streets are closed and packed; in Moorsel or Baardegem, far from the parade, a job remains possible if access is not affected. The rest of the year, the temporary parking ban is requested from the City a few days ahead, stating the address and duration. For a flat above a shop, with a separate door and steep stairs, timing is agreed with the shopkeeper if access is shared, and the shop can usually stay open. In the sections of Gijzegem, Herdersem, Meldert or Nieuwerkerken, family houses with gardens are easier to load. Collection and recycling parks fall under ILvA, the regional intercommunale, for households; our sorted loads go to the social economy or suitable recycling channels.
House clearance in Aalst: the centre, the Dender and the villages
In the centre, the shop-house remains the typical case: a shop on the ground floor, a home upstairs and an attic filled over the years. When the shop has closed, the clearance covers both parts, and we separate the shop fittings, often demountable and sometimes reusable, from the household belongings.
Along the Dender and around the station, workers' houses with no garage entrance mean everything leaves through the front door: the lorry has to park right outside, hence the parking ban requested a few days ahead, giving the address and duration.
In the outlying villages, the volume rises quickly. In Erembodegem, Hofstade or Moorsel, a detached house may come with a well-stocked shed and garden store; in Gijzegem, Meldert or Nieuwerkerken, loading on site is usually straightforward. One day is often enough for a terraced house, more for a property with outbuildings.
