How much does basement clearance cost in Zurich?

The price depends mainly on the volume stored (from one compartment to a full basement), the number of steps and whether there is a lift, how close our vehicle can park to the entrance, and the item mix and condition (heavy or damp items versus boxes and light goods). You always receive a fixed price in writing before booking, and photos are usually enough to give you a firm figure.

Can you clear a cellar with narrow stairs and no lift?

Yes. Items stored below ground often have to come up narrow stairs and through low doorways, and our team carries everything out by hand. Tell us the number of steps and send a photo of the space and route when you request a quote, so we can plan the crew and price accurately.

Do I need permission from neighbours or the landlord?

You should check that nothing in the cellar belongs to a neighbour or the building, and that we can reach the space, including keys and any locked doors. In a shared storage room, tell us which items are yours and who needs to approve their removal. Also check whether your building asks for notice about vehicles or lift use.

What happens to the items after collection?

We load everything, transport it and hand it over to an appropriate licensed recycling or disposal point. Our role is collection and transport only. We do not run a recycling facility ourselves, so what happens next depends on the type of item and the point it goes to.

Who this service is for

A basement tends to fill up slowly, and clearing it is rarely a small job. Our customers usually fall into these groups:

• Tenants moving out. Your cellar compartment must be empty at handover, and it is often the last space left to tackle.

• Homeowners decluttering or renovating. You want the space back for storage, a hobby room or building work.

• Landlords and building managers. You need abandoned items removed from shared cellars and storage rooms.

• Families after an inheritance. A lifetime of stored belongings has to go, and you would rather not carry it up the stairs yourself.

Types of basement space we clear

Every cellar is different, from a single compartment to a full workshop. The table below shows what we usually find and what helps us quote accurately.

Space	Typical contents	What helps us plan
Cellar compartment	Boxes, old furniture, bikes, skis and seasonal items	A photo of the compartment and the number of steps
Full basement	Furniture, appliances, tools, shelving and years of stored boxes	Photos of each area and the route to the exit
Shared storage room	Mixed items from several households	Which items are yours and who needs to approve
Workshop or hobby room	Workbenches, timber offcuts, equipment and metal shelving	A list of heavy pieces and any special materials

How it works

From first message to an empty basement, there are four steps:

1. Request a quote. Describe the space, the number of steps and any lift, and send a few photos if you can.

2. Receive a fixed price. We confirm the cost in writing, so you know the total before you commit.

3. We collect. Our team arrives at the agreed time and carries out everything on your list.

4. Responsible hand-over. We transport the items and hand them over to an appropriate licensed recycling or disposal point.

Why choose this service

We do the heavy carrying

Items stored below ground often have to come up narrow stairs and through low doorways. Our team carries everything out by hand, so you do not risk your back or damage the stairwell.

Used to dusty, cramped spaces

Basements are dim, dusty and full of things stacked over the years. We work through them methodically, so you do not have to sort or move anything before we arrive.

Respectful of shared buildings

In an apartment block, noise and blocked corridors affect your neighbours. We keep access routes clear and work within the time window we agree with you.

How to prepare for your clearance

You do not need to sort everything, but a few steps help:

• Mark or separate anything you want to keep, so it stays in place.

• Check that nothing in the cellar belongs to a neighbour or the building.

• Make sure we can reach the space, including keys and any locked doors.

• Check whether your building asks for notice about vehicles or lift use.

• Tell us about anything unusually heavy, wet or fragile.

Items that need special handling

Some materials cannot go in a standard load. These include paint, solvents and other chemicals, gas bottles, batteries and asbestos-containing materials. Please mention them when you request your quote, so we can confirm what we can take and what needs a separate arrangement.

Pricing

The price depends mainly on these factors:

Factor	What it means	Effect
Volume	How much is stored, from one compartment to a full basement	More items need more time and vehicle space
Stairs and access	The number of steps, and whether there is a lift	More steps mean more carrying time
Parking	How close our vehicle can stop to the entrance	A longer carry distance adds time
Item mix and condition	Heavy or damp items versus boxes and light goods	Heavy or damp pieces take more handling

Smaller cellar compartments start from . The exact price is always confirmed by quote before booking, and photos are usually enough to give you a firm figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price depends on how much is stored, how many steps lead down, whether there is a lift, and how far our vehicle can park from the entrance. Send photos or a short description and we will confirm a fixed price in writing before you book a date.

Yes. Narrow staircases and low doorways are common in older Zurich buildings, and our team carries items up by hand. Tell us how many flights there are and mention any very heavy pieces, such as old cabinets or workshop equipment, so we can send enough people.

Tell us in advance. Damp or mouldy items can be heavier and need careful handling, and some may not be accepted at a disposal point. We will confirm what we can take once we see photos, so the price and plan are accurate before collection day.

You only need permission for what is yours. If the space is shared, make sure everyone agrees about which items go, and have the building manager's approval where required. We remove only what you point out, so please mark or separate your own items clearly beforehand.

We load everything, transport it and hand it over to an appropriate licensed recycling or disposal point. Our role is collection and transport only, and we do not run a recycling facility ourselves. Where items end up depends on their material and condition.
