Office clearance

Office clearance in Brussels

Our office clearance service in Brussels empties offices, shops, practices and studios of the furniture and equipment left behind after a move, a downsizing or a refit. Desks, chairs, cabinets, partitions and old IT are carried out by our crew, sorted for reuse and recycling, and charged at one fixed price quoted from photos or a floor plan. If the business has to keep running, the work can be planned outside office hours.

What an office clearance in Brussels includes

An office clearance in Brussels removes everything the business is not taking to its next address, from the workstations on the open floor to the archive boxes in the basement storeroom. We clear offices in townhouses converted to business use, floors in modern office blocks, shops, medical and dental practices, agencies and small studios.

  • Workstations: desks, bench desks, desk pedestals, office chairs and monitor arms.
  • Meeting rooms and reception: conference tables, stacking chairs, sofas, coffee tables and freestanding reception counters.
  • Storage: filing cabinets, lockers, cupboards, shelving units and bookcases.
  • Partitions: freestanding screens, acoustic panels and demountable dividers.
  • IT and electronics: computers, monitors, printers, copiers, desk phones, server racks and cabling.
  • Kitchen and break room: fridges, microwaves, coffee machines and dishwashers.
  • Archive and clutter: boxes of old binders, stationery, promotional material and whatever has piled up in the storeroom.

Office clearance prices in Brussels

Office clearance in Brussels is quoted per job rather than from a fixed band, because no two commercial spaces hold the same amount. You send photos of each room, or send a floor plan by email with a short note on what is going, and you receive one fixed price. That price covers the crew, the carrying, the truck, the transport and the sorting and recycling fees. It is never an hourly rate.

Our clearances start at €250, the bottom of the band for a small clearance such as a single room or a storeroom. Every office above that is priced on its own photos, and the full ladder for homes is on our clearance prices page for Brussels.

What changes the price of an office clearance in Brussels

Volume counts most: forty workstations cost more to clear than eight. Access comes next, so a building without a goods lift, a lift that must be reserved, or a long walk from the nearest spot where the truck can stop all show up in the quote. The share of reusable furniture also matters, because sound desks and cabinets that can go to reuse cost less to handle than broken ones. Evening, weekend and urgent same-week work costs more than a weekday clearance.

How an office clearance in Brussels works

An office clearance follows the same steps as our bulky waste collection in Brussels, scaled up to a commercial floor. You send photos or a floor plan, the address and commune, the floor, and whether there is a lift or a loading bay. You get one fixed price and agree a date and time. The two-person crew then arrives with a box truck, carries everything out and loads it.

Tell us early about the building's own rules. Many office blocks want the lift booked, the entrance protected or the work done outside reception hours. We plan the clearance around those rules and around your move-out deadline, so the space can go back to the landlord empty and swept.

Out-of-hours office clearance in Brussels

An out-of-hours office clearance lets your team keep working while the furniture goes. The crew can come in the evening or at the weekend, when the floor is quiet and the lifts are not in use. These slots cost more, so if the office is already empty on a weekday before your deadline, booking that day keeps the price lower.

What happens to office furniture and IT after a clearance in Brussels

Office furniture and equipment are sorted after a clearance, not tipped into one container. Desks, chairs and cabinets in good condition go to reuse organisations, computers, screens, printers and other electronics go to registered electrical (WEEE) recycling, and wood, metal, cardboard and paper go to their own recycling streams. Nothing is dumped illegally.

The disposal and recycling fees are part of the fixed price. A clean, matching batch of chairs or desks is cheaper to handle than damaged furniture, so point it out when you send photos.

Confidential paperwork and data during an office clearance

Archive boxes, personnel files and old hard drives need a decision before the crew arrives. Tell us what kind of confidential paperwork or data carriers are in the office when you ask for a price, and we can discuss how to deal with them as part of the job. Many companies remove or wipe hard drives themselves beforehand, which keeps every decision about company data inside the business.

Office clearance invoices for companies in Brussels

Your company receives an invoice for the office clearance, for its accounts and records. The amount on it is the fixed price agreed before the job. Give us the company name and VAT number that should appear on it when you confirm the date.

You deal with one contact from the quote to the clearance itself, and on your side that is usually the office manager, facility manager or business owner.

Shop, practice and studio clearance in Brussels

The same service clears shops, practices and studios when a lease ends or a business closes. That covers shelving and display units in a shop, waiting-room chairs and cabinets in a practice, and the desks, plan chests and shelves of a design or architecture studio.

We clear commercial spaces in every commune of the region, from the European Quarter in Etterbeek to Ixelles, Saint-Gilles and the Woluwes. The full list is on our page about clearances across the Brussels communes.

Office clearance combined with a home, cellar or storage clearance

Small business owners often need more than the office emptied. A home office can go as part of a house clearance in Brussels, and a cellar, garage or attic full of old stock or archive boxes as part of a garage, attic and cellar clearance. Show every space in the same set of photos and you get one price for the lot.

What an office clearance in Brussels does not include

An office clearance covers furniture, equipment and contents, not building work. We don't take fixed walls that have to be demolished, plasterboard, ceiling tiles, rubble or other renovation debris, and we don't take asbestos, chemicals, solvents, gas bottles or clinical waste from a practice. If any of these are on site, show them in the photos so they are kept out of the job before the price is fixed.

Old office furniture should never be left in a building's bin room or on the pavement. In Brussels, abandoned waste is removed and treated at the expense of the person who left it, or of the occupant or owner of the premises. Our page on illegal dumping fines in Brussels sets out what that can cost. A Recypark is no shortcut either: under the official rules, only companies with a registered office in the Brussels Region may use the Recyparks Buda, Humanité, Sud and Demets, at professional rates.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an office clearance cost in Brussels?

Offices and commercial spaces are quoted individually from photos or a floor plan, because volume and access vary so much. Our clearances start at €250, and the quote is one fixed price covering the crew, carrying, transport and recycling. Nothing is added on the day.

Can you clear our office in the evening or at the weekend?

Yes, an out-of-hours clearance is possible so your staff can keep working. Evening and weekend slots cost more than a weekday clearance, and the building's lift and access rules have to allow it.

What happens to our old computers and printers?

They go to registered electrical (WEEE) recycling along with the rest of the electronics. Remove or wipe any hard drives holding company data before the clearance, or mention them in advance so we can discuss them.

Do you collect a single desk or a few chairs?

No, we take on clearances rather than single pieces. A desk or a handful of chairs can be added to a larger job, such as a full office floor, a storeroom or a home clearance.

Do you invoice the company for an office clearance?

Yes. The company receives an invoice for the fixed price agreed before the job, with the company name and VAT number you give us.
