House clearance in Tongeren-Borgloon: our approach
Since 1 January 2025 Tongeren and Borgloon have formed a single city, Tongeren-Borgloon, in the heart of Limburg's Haspengouw. In the centre of Tongeren, the oldest town in Belgium, townhouses are often old, with narrow stairs, cellars and attics, on streets where parking needs planning, especially on antiques and flea market days. Around it, the outlying sections of Tongeren and the whole of Borgloon are farming villages: courtyard farms, small farmhouses, barns and orchards typical of the fruit-growing region. Clearing a farm or a large country house often takes several truck runs or a skip. We first visit the property, agree with you what should be kept and then sort everything on site. Waste goes through suitable processing channels and the property is handed back clean.
Can't be in Tongeren-Borgloon on the day of the clearance? That is not a problem. The estimate is done from photos or by video, the keys pass through the person of your choice, and at the end you receive a photo report of every empty room, along with the papers we set aside.
Clearing a home in Tongeren-Borgloon: local considerations
Tongeren-Borgloon was created on 1 January 2025 by merging the towns of Tongeren and Borgloon, two Hesbaye towns with very different characters. In Tongeren, often described as Belgium's oldest town, the historic centre surrounds the Basilica of Our Lady and leans against remains of Roman and medieval walls: old townhouses, narrow stairs, vaulted cellars and streets with limited parking. Around Borgloon, Kerniel, Hoepertingen or Gors-Opleeuw lies fruit country: square courtyard farms, small farmhouses, fruit sheds and storerooms full of crates and equipment. Tongeren's villages, Henis, Riksingen, Nerem or Widooie, have rural housing and detached houses. Since the merger, permits fall under a single administration. Collection is handled by Limburg.net, which opens its parks to households; our clearances go to approved professional centres.
House clearance in Tongeren-Borgloon: old town and orchard villages
In Tongeren's historic centre, around the basilica, the old townhouse is cleared via narrow stairs, with a vaulted cellar to empty by hand. As parking is limited, and even more so on flea-market days, we choose the date carefully and request the parking ban from the City.
In the villages of former Tongeren, Henis, Riksingen, Nerem or Widooie, the detached or rural house is a medium-sized clearance, with a garage and attic.
Around Borgloon, in Kerniel, Hoepertingen or Gors-Opleeuw, the square farmstead changes the scale entirely: the farmhouse, barns, fruit sheds and stores often make several jobs in one. We tackle them building by building, starting with those that free up access to the yard, and plan several trips or a skip. Mal, Vreren, Lauw, Sluizen, Rijkel and Groot-Loon complete the area.
