How exactly does a clearance work?

First, a free on-site viewing takes place to assess the scope. Then our experts sort items by recyclability, transport bulky waste away professionally and finally hand over the rooms swept clean. The entire clearance takes place in a structured, reliable and on-schedule way, so your move can be prepared smoothly.

How long does a clearance take?

The duration of a clearance depends on the size of the property and the quantity of household goods. Smaller flats are mostly cleared within one day; larger objects can take several days. Our team plans the time frame individually with you and always keeps to agreed dates reliably.

Is the clearance possible with hoarder flats too?

Yes, we also take over demanding clearances of heavily littered or overfilled flats with the greatest discretion. Our team proceeds sensitively and professionally, sorts out valuable items and disposes of the rest professionally. With complex situations too, we assure you a transparent fixed price .

Are valuable items sorted out?

Of course, before every clearance we check exactly which items can still be sold, donated or reused. Valuable furniture or electrical appliances are treated separately and passed on after arrangement with you. That way waste of resources is avoided and at the same time your move is made sustainable.

Can I combine a clearance and a move?

Yes, the combination of clearance and move is especially practical and time-saving. Many customers use this possibility as part of a home move , in order to reduce effort and costs. We coordinate both services from a single source, so the entire process interlocks smoothly.

Is your clearance service insured?

For damage we cause during the clearance to the flat, the stairwell or furniture that is meant to move with you, we are liable under the statutory rules. For the subsequent move, liability under the German Commercial Code (HGB) applies: up to €620 per cubic metre of removal goods (§ 451e HGB). It is best to take valuables and documents with you yourself.

How quickly can a clearance be carried out?

In many cases, we can offer a date for your clearance within a few days of the enquiry. The exact scheduling depends on the scope of the work and the current workload. Simply contact us by phone to arrange a suitable date as quickly as possible.

What happens to the disposed household goods?

We attach great importance to environmentally correct disposal as part of every clearance . Recyclable materials are professionally separated, valuable items passed on or sold where possible. That way a sustainable process arises that protects the environment and resources, without you having to take care of the disposal yourself.

Do you also offer clearance for long-distance moves?

Yes, especially with long-distance moves , a prior clearance is especially worthwhile, since it reduces the transport volume and thus saves costs. We organise the clearance to fit exactly before the actual moving date, so the transport can afterwards proceed efficiently and smoothly.

In which regions do you offer clearance?

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21). If you are moving to or away from Berlin and the clearance needs to be done at the other location first, ask us – whether we can take on the clearance there depends on the scope and distance. Places with their own pages can be found under locations .

Do I have to be present myself at the clearance?

Fundamentally, we recommend your presence at least at the start of the clearance , in order to make final arrangements. After consultation, however, it is also possible to hand us a key, so the work can be carried out independently and on schedule while you take care of other moving matters.

In the right rhythm

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

Every wardrobe that goes before the move does not have to be packed, carried and reassembled in your new home. A clearance before the move therefore reduces the volume – and with it, often the size of the lorry and the number of movers. The order matters: first decide what comes with you, then sell or give away what still has value, and only then have what is left cleared. You receive the price for the clearance as a fixed price after a survey.

As a tenant, you usually have a three-month notice period (§ 573c BGB) – enough time if you start early: sort and sell in the first few weeks, clear the cellar and loft a few weeks before the move, and the last remnants shortly before moving day. We coordinate the date with your private move, sort out valuables and, on request, hand over the rooms broom-clean.

PERSONAL CONSULTATION

Free initial consultation

Call us on 01625978461 or use the contact form. We survey the flat, prepare a fixed-price quote for the clearance and set the date so that it fits your move – for example the cellar one week beforehand and the remaining furniture on moving-out day. That way you do not have to coordinate two service providers.

Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.

WELL COORDINATED

One process instead of two projects

Clearance and move coordinated

Anyone clearing out and moving would otherwise be juggling two dates, two teams and two invoices. We plan both together: whatever is disposed of never makes it onto the moving list, and on moving day it is clear which furniture is coming along. If the moving date shifts, we shift the clearance with it, instead of you having to re-coordinate two companies. You receive the price as a fixed price after a survey. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21); places with their own pages can be found under locations.

Sort early

Go through room by room and mark what comes with you – ideally straight after giving notice.

Sell and give away

Well-kept furniture often takes time to find a buyer through adverts; allow a few weeks for this.

Have it cleared

Whatever is left, we clear before the move – first the cellar and loft, then the remaining living spaces shortly before you move out.

Transport less

Every item that does not come along saves packing time, boxes and cargo space; this often lowers the cost of the move too.

WELL TIMED

What we take on when you declutter

So that the move does not end in chaos, we take on the steps of the clearance that cost the most time and energy: carrying, dismantling, separating and disposing. You keep the decisions; we do the work.

Clearly labelled

Together with you, we decide what is disposed of, sold or taken along, and label it before we start clearing.

Personal items secured

Personal items such as documents or photos that turn up while clearing out are set aside so they go into the moving box.

One point of contact

One contact person for clearance and move: you settle questions about date, price or process in one single place.

In step with the move

We schedule the clearance around your moving day, so that nothing is left by the time the flat is handed over and there is less stress.

Flexible if plans change

If the move is postponed or a cellar room is added, we adjust the date by agreement and tell you the new price beforehand.

Handover without leftovers

On request, we hand over the old flat broom-clean, so you do not have to clear away any leftovers when the landlord inspects it.

LIGHT LOAD

After decluttering: a shared load?

When only a little is left

If only a few belongings are left after decluttering, a shared load may be enough instead of a removal van of your own: your furniture travels on a lorry that is heading in that direction anyway. This is especially worthwhile over longer distances.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

Your
move – fully organised

One team, every service

A clearance is often the starting signal for the move itself. Then come packing, transport and assembly – for a private move within the same city just as for long-distance moves across Germany. If you sort things out early, you need fewer boxes and less cargo space. The guide moving costs per room shows roughly what moving costs you can expect depending on the size of your flat.

Planning safe and relaxed

A good checklist coordinates dates, helpers and materials early. That way your home move, senior move or student move in Berlin stays transparent, structured and markedly easier to control.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a suitable packing service, careful furniture transport and a flexible small transport, ways can be shortened, damage avoided and even narrow approaches in Berlin managed cleanly in logistical terms.

Costs, timing and special cases

Clear time windows and suitable solutions for an office move, company move, authority move, part load or furniture taxi create reliable processes and better plannable total costs in Berlin.

FAQ

Decluttering before a move: questions and answers

Timeline, costs, valuables and liability – when clearance and move come together.

The costs depend on living space, quantity and accessibility; after a free survey you receive a fixed price. When doing the maths, consider the other side too: whatever is disposed of beforehand does not have to be packed and transported in the move. If you plan clearance and move together, you see both items side by side and can weigh them up.

Process of a professional clearance

The process of a clearance always begins with a free on-site survey, in which our team assesses the scope of the work and prepares a binding fixed-price quote for you. We then agree a date with you that fits perfectly into your moving plan. On clearance day, our experts sort items by whether they can be reused, remove bulky waste properly and finally sweep the rooms broom-clean.

Particularly practical: the clearance can easily be combined with other moving services, for example as part of a private move. This saves you organising several service providers separately, and you benefit from a coordinated overall process. With fixed contact persons, you always keep track throughout the entire process.

Costs and advantages of a clearance

The cost of a clearance depends on factors such as living space, the amount of household goods and the accessibility of the rooms. With our transparent fixed-price model, however, you know exactly from the start what costs to expect – with no unpleasant surprises afterwards. Compared with organising it yourself, you also save valuable time and physical effort, as our team handles all the work properly.

A further advantage shows especially with long-distance moves, where more volume means more cargo space and therefore higher costs. Clearing out beforehand considerably reduces not only the moving volume but also the space needed in the removal van. In the long run, you benefit from a more efficient and cheaper moving process.

What does the price of your move depend on?

Important criteria are the moving volume, the distance (from €3.95/km) and the floor, with or without a lift. A reserved parking restriction zone ensures things run smoothly. If needed, we add furniture assembly or a shared load to the move.
