What does a professional clearance cost?

The costs depend on the area, quantity and condition of the household goods. After the survey we always prepare a binding fixed price with no hidden extra costs. Items of value are offset through value offsetting , which often reduces the final price. That way you know exactly what you will pay before work begins.

How long does a typical clearance take?

Depending on the scope, a flat clearance usually takes anything from a few hours to a full working day. Smaller jobs such as a cellar clearance are often done by the end of the morning. Our team always works quickly and efficiently, so that you can use your rooms freely again soon, without long waiting times.

Do I have to be present in person during the clearance?

No, your personal presence is not strictly necessary. Many customers hand us a key and let us carry out the professional clearance on our own. Once it is finished, you receive documentation with photos and a handover of the broom-clean rooms, so that you can follow the entire process at any time.

What happens to furniture and items that are still usable?

Usable furniture and items are checked as part of the value offsetting and reused or sold where possible. This reduces your costs for the clearance further. Items that can no longer be used are sent for proper disposal or recycling, so that as little as possible ends up in residual waste.

Do you hand over the rooms broom-clean after the clearance?

Yes, every clearance ends as standard with a broom-clean handover of the rooms. Our team removes dust, small items and residues, so that the flat or house can be re-let or handed over straight away. This service is already included in the agreed fixed price and is not charged separately.

Do you also clear hoarders' flats?

Yes, we also clear hoarders' flats and heavily soiled rooms. We work discreetly, respectfully and properly, to handle even demanding situations professionally. After an individual survey, we prepare a suitable fixed-price quote that realistically takes the extra effort into account and remains transparent for you.

How is the bulky waste disposed of?

Our team sorts bulky waste directly and sends it for proper disposal . We consistently separate recyclable materials such as wood, metal or electrical appliances and send them for recycling. This ensures an environmentally sound clearance in which you do not have to take care of anything yourself.

Do you also offer cellar and loft clearances?

Yes, in addition to complete flat clearances we also handle cellar clearances and loft clearances . These areas in particular are often cluttered for years and hard to access. Our team reliably clears even narrow or hard-to-reach spaces and disposes of everything properly at the agreed fixed price .

Who is liable if something is damaged during the clearance?

For damage our team causes during the clearance, we are liable under the statutory rules – whether it is a flat, cellar or loft clearance. Ask us before booking what the cover looks like in detail. Photos of the condition before clearance day, which we take on request, are helpful for everyone.

Can I combine a clearance and a move?

Yes, many customers combine the clearance directly with a private move or a long-distance move . That way, surplus items are disposed of before transport and you save real money on moving volume and effort. We plan both services from a single source and coordinate the dates perfectly.

In which regions do you carry out clearances?

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and plan every professional clearance from there. If the property is somewhere else, for example before a long-distance move , ask us – whether we can take on the job depends on the scope and distance. Places with their own pages can be found under locations .

The process

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

A professional clearance always begins with a free on-site survey, in which our team assesses the scope of the clearance. You then receive a binding fixed-price quote with no hidden costs. On the agreed date, our team arrives and clears the flat, cellar or loft properly and quickly. Finally, we hand over the rooms broom-clean and document the work with photos.

On clearance day there is a fixed order: first we secure what you want to keep and set aside any documents or photos we find. Then we dismantle large furniture, carry it out and load it separately as bulky waste, wood, metal and electrical appliances; we take paint or chemicals away separately if this has been agreed beforehand. Finally, everything is swept. On request, we combine the clearance with a private move.

A SYSTEMATIC PROCESS

What makes the process reliable

Clear steps, clear arrangements

A good process begins before clearance day: at the survey, we clarify access, floor, lift, the parking space for the lorry and everything that is to stay. From this we work out team size, vehicle and duration – and your fixed price. On clearance day, the team works according to this agreement; on request, we record the condition before and after in photos. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21, see locations) and, if needed, also plan private moves or long-distance moves along with it.

Survey

We look at rooms, quantities, access and special cases and clarify what stays – the basis for the fixed price.

Preparation

Parking space, parking restriction, keys and date are settled beforehand, so that nobody has to wait unnecessarily on clearance day.

Clearance day

Secure first, then dismantle, carry and load separately – in this order nothing important gets lost.

Finally, everything is swept; on request, we walk through the rooms with you and record the condition in photos.

STEP BY STEP

What matters on clearance day

With every clearance, we check whether there are still items of value among the household goods. This value offsetting can lower the final price; what is offset is already stated in the quote.

A joint start

Before anything is touched, we go through with you or your representative exactly what stays and what is cleared.

Found items collected

Personal papers, photos or cash that turn up while clearing out are collected and handed over to you at the end.

Reachable on clearance day

On clearance day, a contact person can be reached if questions arise – for example about a wardrobe that is meant to stay after all.

Loaded separately

We load wood, metal, electrical appliances and remaining bulky waste separately, because each type of waste is accepted at a different place.

Careful in the stairwell

We protect the stairwell and door frames when carrying large furniture, so that as few marks as possible are left in the building.

Documented handover

On request, we photograph the rooms before and after the clearance – helpful if you are not there yourself for the handover.

PART LOAD

The budget-friendly alternative

If individual pieces of furniture are not to be disposed of on clearance day but brought to you, this can be combined with a shared load: your household goods travel together with other transports. This is particularly practical if the clearance and a long-distance move fall at the same time.

move – fully organised

One team, every service

A clearance often goes hand in hand with an upcoming change of home, for example with a private move or a household clearance. Anyone relocating for work, for instance, benefits from organising clearance and transport from a single source. Before a long-distance move, too, it is worth having surplus household goods disposed of professionally beforehand to save on transport costs. This saves you time, nerves and money, while our team handles all the logistics.

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

The clearance process: questions and answers

Survey, clearance day, disposal, handover and liability – what happens in a professional clearance.

First comes a free survey on site, in which our team assesses the scope. You then receive a binding fixed-price quote. On the agreed date, our team clears the rooms quickly and properly, sorts valuables and bulky waste and hands everything over broom-clean at the end. This makes the entire process transparent and easy to plan.

The process of a professional clearance: from survey to handover

The process of a professional clearance follows a clearly structured procedure. After the free survey, we draw up an individual plan that takes into account the scope, schedule and staff required. Then comes the actual clearance, in which furniture, bulky waste and hazardous waste are sorted and properly taken away.

Finally, we sweep the rooms broom-clean and hand them over to you ready for use. On request, we document the condition before and after the clearance with photos. This gives you full transparency about the process and the work carried out at all times.

Costs & fixed price for a clearance: what you should know

The cost of a clearance depends on the area, quantity and condition of the household goods. That is why, after the survey, we always prepare a binding fixed-price quote covering all services including disposal. This avoids cost surprises later and keeps your budget fully under control.

Items of value are offset as part of the value offsetting and reduce the final price further. If you combine the clearance with a move, you can often save further costs through bundled logistics.

Your move – your costs

The cost of a move depends heavily on the size of the flat. Smaller 1-room flats can be moved from €375. Moving into a 2-room flat costs from €579, with 3 rooms it is from €884 and with 4 rooms from €1,309. For houses or villas there is no flat rate – here we always prepare an individual quote. For a long-distance move we charge from €4.20 per kilometre. The quickest way to find out your exact price is a free survey.

Moving price: the most important factors

The volume of your belongings and the distance (from €4.20/km) form the basis of the calculation. Added to this are the floor, the lift and a possible parking restriction zone. For furniture assembly and a shared load we charge separate rates.

Your moving partner – our services

We offer you a private move for your new home, an office move for your company, furniture transport for individual items, a shared load for small quantities, a move with assembly for the full service and clearance for a clean finish.

Long-distance move after the clearance

If the clearance is followed by a move to another city, we plan it from Berlin (Stromstraße 21). Details can be found under long-distance moves, and places with their own pages in the locations overview.
