Clearing a Neglected House
Our Services
In need of additional expertise
Perhaps you have acquired a once-abandoned building, or it may be that a friend or family member has seriously neglected his or her home. Whatever the reason, there are those instances where a property has fallen into such a state of disrepair, that it is essential you call in professionals with additional expertise. It could be that the property has become infested with so much trash and useless goods that it could cause structural damage to floorboards, or it could be something more serious and dangerous such as damage that has been caused by fire or water.
For work such as this, we have the experience and knowledge of how to restore life to the neglected space, safely and securely clearing it out and making it usable once again.
In accordance with all the required regulations
In houses or flats such as these, we can often find things in an advanced state of decomposition, and it might also be necessary to thoroughly disinfect the entire property. This certainly applies if the remains of someone who has passed away are found in the home. We know all of the correct procedures, and can clear out the contaminated home in accordance with the proper regulations. In such instances, we consult with all the parties concerned beforehand.
Although the building might now be in such a condition, we understand it wasn’t always this way, and with our help it won’t need to continue being so; our workers will treat the location with appropriate respect and care during the clearance, making sure to cause no extra damage to either the building or belongings found inside.
Sorting useful from waste, and storage
We remove all debris and waste, and separate from them items that you may want to keep or that hold value of some kind. We can transport the former to an environmentally friendly waste processing company, and treat the latter in accordance with your wishes. If there are items of value that you don’t wish to keep hold of, we might be able to purchase them from you to offset some of the cost of the overall work. For other items, if you don’t yet have a destination for them but aren’t sure about throwing them away, we can store them in our storage facility. Once you have a new destination in mind, we are happy to then move them there.
With a place such as this, it is common that damage becomes visible once it has been cleared. We can undertake minor repairs that may be needed, safely remove asbestos, and return the property to you ready for future use.

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.
