Emptying the Attic
Our Services
Should I just throw it all to the landfill?
Many people are reluctant to clear out the attic, or can even imagine how to begin to do so. It is quite often the messiest space within any house, and often full to the point where it’s difficult to even enter.
- What should be done with all that stuff?
- What do I want to keep?
- Does any of it even still hold value?
It’s questions like these that often stop people even approaching the task, but it’s questions like these that we’ve also had years of experience in handling. We know that not everything there will inevitably be junk, and we know there are things there among it all that you will want to keep hold of, or not simply discard. When we clear out an attic, we take this into account, and even when it seems like an unrecognizable mess, we tread with caution and care.
Helping you decide what to keep, and what to throw away
We can make you a list ahead of time, and help you through the process step by step. Once it is clear what you want to keep, and what can be removed, we advise you on what to do with the latter. We are able to value items for you, and possibly even buy them from you for a fair price, usually offset against the cost of the clearance work itself.
Once we have established what will be kept, and what might be sold on, anything else that still has life in it will be taken to the thrift store, and those that do not will be recycled or taken to the waste collection center.
Professional refurbishment
Whether you are moving or plan to continue using the attic yourself, it makes sense to have a crew of professionals make it once more into a usable space. We can conduct everything from small tasks, such as sealing up holes and repairing walls, to more serious ones such as dealing with wood rot or other damage that can affect the structure of the room. By the time we are finished redecorating and rearranging it, it will hardly be recognizable from the mountain of junk that had taken hold of it before.
Call us and we will come by to see what needs to be done. You will receive a free customized quote, obligation free.
A Quick Quote
We understand that it is often important that a clearance takes place as soon as possible, so that a new tenant or buyer can enter the property. WoningontruimingNu is flexible and quick to act. When you call, we can often come by the next day. Starting straight away, we sit and talk with you, to create an inventory of what is to be done, and what is needed, and then offer you a customized quote right there on the spot; all without obligation
Personal Advice
When we visit you, we come with an extensive checklist detailing everything that needs to be done. During the viewing, we walk through the building, the office or the boat together. We look at how we can empty the different spaces for you, what goes with you, and to what you bid farewell.
Moving Home
In addition to emptying, repairing and removing household goods, items and material, you can of course also count on us for moving home. Are you going from a larger to a smaller house, for example? We transport your most precious possessions to your new home, and take care of emptying your old house, leaving it looking new and ready, returned to a broom clean condition.
Broom Clean Condition
We deliver your old house broom clean. This condition is set in almost every lease and purchase contract. Broom clean delivery also means that light fixtures and curtain rails, stickers and other materials must be removed, and any holes in walls must be filled.
After the removal of a light a terminal block is always placed on it, for safety and to prevent short circuits.
Repair Work
Does the floor need to be taken out, or are there other repairs still required, such as removing a kitchen unit or fixing a wall? We have the ability and experience to do all of these things. We are in touch with the municipality, real estate agents and housing cooperatives, so we know exactly how the property should be delivered.
Removal of Asbestos
Though it is no longer used in modern construction, occasionally we still find it in old houses: the carcinogenic material asbestos. The safe removal of asbestos requires both specialized knowledge and specialized equipment. We are trained in this, and have all the appropriate equipment to remove any asbestos encountered in a safe and secure manner.
Purchase of Furniture and Goods
The majority of household contents that are no longer wanted or needed, we can take to the thrift store, or recycle in a responsible manner. If there are specific items of value of interest, we will make an appraisal and can offer to purchase them from you; this can then be deducted from the cost of the overall work. If you would like to reach an agreement on selling the household contents as a whole, this can also be discussed.
In this way, we contribute to a circular economy.
Disposal of Waste in an Environmentally Conscious Manner
Years of experience have shown us that, unfortunately, most unwanted household contents are not actually suitable for refurbishment and resale. If this is the case we dispose of what can’t be reused, in an environmentally conscious manner. We know the exact rules for your municipality, and we know where to take the waste in line with this.
Temporary Storage of Household Goods
Sometimes it all just goes far too quickly, and you don’t have the time or space in your mind to think about what to do with all of your household items. For both the short term, and the long term, you can store any of your belongings within our warehouse – be it for a day, a month, or even a few years. We can also help you sort out what can be discarded, and what can go into storage; that way, you can be sure to take only the most essential items there.
