We're selling our 1950s semi-detached house in Leiden and the attic is packed with 40+ years of stuff—old furniture, boxes, insulation debris. It's a decent-sized attic (about 30 m²) and honestly pretty dusty. We'd rather hire someone for a day or two than do it ourselves. What's a realistic budget, and what should we expect them to actually do?
✓ Accepted answer
Attic clearance typically runs €800–€1,500 per day for a team of 2–3 people, depending on volume, what needs sorting/recycling, and whether hazardous materials (asbestos insulation) are present. For a 30 m² attic, budget 1–2 days. Cost drivers: debris removal (€150–€300 per load to the dump), sorting vs. bulk removal, and whether items go to charity or waste. If your attic has pre-1980s insulation, a pro should flag it—don't assume it's asbestos, but testing (€50–€150) may be wise before removal.
