Moving out of an Elderly Home
Our Services
Another step in life
Eventually, after many years in a retirement home, many seniors move to a nursing home. It’s a big step, and often an emotional one. The housing that is left behind has to be delivered quickly and broom clean, and that in itself can add stress to an already emotionally delicate time. Hiring a professional removal company such as WoningontruimingNu can make this process so much easier, and will allow it to be out of the way, without mistakes, mishaps, or uncertainty.
We take care of everything, including things that might have otherwise made the situation difficult; we do all of the heavy lifting, packing of valuable items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the loading and unloading of boxes and other bulky objects.
Personal free consultation
Emptying an elderly home is often more work than is expected. It is likely that the nursing home has less space, so not all of your belongings can go with you. If you call us, we will visit you free of charge to sit down and talk things through, in a personal consultation where you can express to us your needs and wishes. We come with a checklist based on years of experience, to walk you through how we will undertake the work.
- What will stay behind in the house?
- What still needs to be done in the home you, or your parents, are leaving?
- What exactly do you want done with unwanted furniture and goods?
During the consultation, questions such as these, and others, will all be talked through and answered, so you will be left with a clear idea of how things will proceed. By the end of it, we will offer you a quote, obligation free.
All within a single day
The former housing often has to be returned to it’s original state, so it may be necessary to remove a floor or repair a wall, or take on other similar tasks and repairs. We undertake this, and move everything from one house to another within a single day. We give furniture and possessions that won’t go with you a second life, or we dispose of them in an environmentally sound manner. Most items that are still in good condition, we can take to the thrift store, but if there happens to be specific items we agree hold some value, we can talk with you about the possibility of purchasing them at a fair price.
Are you not yet sure of what you want to do with any household items that you can’t take with you? If that’s the case, we can temporarily store it for you.
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.
