These photos show real Sparkling Services jobs, taken by our teams before and after the clearance. They illustrate the kinds of jobs we take on in Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia: clearing a family home after a bereavement, emptying a flat before a check-out inspection, clearing a basement or attic filled over the years, or making a heavily hoarded home liveable again.

Every job follows the same method: sorting on site, donating reusable items to the social economy, recycling the rest by material, and handing back an empty, swept property. If you cannot be there on the day, we send you photos of the cleared property, taken the same way.

To respect our clients' privacy, we never publish addresses, names or identifiable personal belongings. Have a property to clear? Send us a few photos for a first estimate.

The images in the “Simulated results” section at the bottom of the page are AI-generated and labelled as such.
