Understanding House Clearance Prices

The price of a house clearance in Belgium is not fixed. It depends mainly on the volume to remove and the accessibility of the property.

A house clearance professional like AAB sorts everything on site: what you keep is set aside, reusable items are donated to charities and the rest is recycled. The quote is free and detailed.

The Clearance Fee

Fixed clearance fee

From 150 euros

A fixed fee is set according to volume to cover labour, transport, sorting and disposal at the recycling centre.

Example: Cellar filled with old boxes, damaged IKEA furniture -> 250 euro fee

Factors That Influence Price

Volume to clear

The more there is, the more work involved. A studio is not a 4-bedroom house.

Type of items

Bulky items, appliances, special waste: some require a specific recycling channel.

Accessibility

Floor without lift, narrow staircase, difficult parking = supplement.

Location

Distance from Brussels. Travel costs are included in the quote.

Urgency

24-hour service possible but may incur a supplement.

Cleaning

Post-clearance cleaning option available for an additional fee.

How to Reduce the Cost of a House Clearance

1
Sort before the service

Separate what you want to keep. The less there is to clear, the less it costs.

2
Think about donation

Furniture and items that are still usable are donated to charities rather than thrown away.

3
Dispose of as much as possible yourself

Take boxes, clothes and small items to the recycling centre.

4
Request multiple quotes

Compare offers. Beware of prices that are too low and hide surprises.

5
Plan ahead

Avoid urgent services which can be more expensive.
