Does your shop, restaurant or salon in Aalst (9300) need to be vacated? We plan loading around the rules of the street, have whatever needs disconnecting disconnected, and look for a second life for fittings and stock before anything goes for recycling.
Shop and commercial clearance in Aalst: our approach
Aalst town centre, around the Grote Markt and the town hall, is made up of shop-houses: a shop on the ground floor and living space upstairs, reached by a separate staircase. Clearing a business there often means dealing with two distinct spaces, the shop floor and stockroom on one side and the flat on the other, with different entrances and sometimes different owners. During the visit we establish what belongs to the business and what belongs to the home, then dismantle shelving, counters and display cabinets before sorting the stock. Whatever can be used again is resold or donated; the rest goes to suitable recycling channels.
A hair salon or beauty institute in Aalst is usually cleared in a day: chairs, backwash units, workstations and mirrors are dismantled, while opened products (colourants, developers, aerosols) are set aside for a dedicated collection.
Clearing a shop in Aalst: street, access and deliveries
In Aalst, the calendar matters as much as access. During carnival, before Ash Wednesday, the centre is largely closed to traffic and no clearance is possible there: if your lease ends in that period, plan the job before or after. For the rest of the year, a temporary parking ban is enough; it is requested from the City of Aalst a few days ahead, stating the address and duration, and we take care of it. In a shop-house, we usually clear the shop and stockroom first, then the flat via the separate staircase, so the two flows never cross. Aalst falls under the ILvA intercommunal, whose recycling parks serve residents, so your fittings and stock follow our own resale, social-economy donation and recycling routes. Where the shop and flat have different owners, we agree in advance with each of them who receives the quote and the keys.
Closing a shop in Aalst: Dender riverside and outlying sections
Along the Dender, the working-class districts have neighbourhood shops in terraced houses, where the stockroom usually opens onto the back. Everything then goes out through the shop: we first take down the shelving near the entrance to clear the way, then empty the stockroom. When the flat upstairs is still occupied and access is shared, the schedule is agreed with the occupant.
In the outlying sections, Erembodegem, Hofstade, Moorsel or Gijzegem, village shops are easier to load, and a job is sometimes still possible during carnival far from the parade, if access is unaffected. For a closure, there are three possible outcomes depending on the value of what remains: a free clearance, a fixed price on quotation, or payment of the difference to you. We determine this during the visit, before setting the date.
