Clearance in Zurich
Zurich is our home market. Our depot is at Katzenbachstrasse 60 in Seebach, so within the city we are usually on site in under twenty minutes. With a clearance that is not a minor detail: if you have to save a flat handover (Wohnungsabgabe — the formal inspection at which you return the keys to the letting agency and any defects are logged), you cannot afford a company that first has to drive in from another canton.
The city is anything but uniform when it comes to clearing. An attic (Estrich) in a pre-war building in Kreis 4 is a completely different job from a housing-cooperative flat in Affoltern or a penthouse in Witikon. Narrow stairwells without a lift, inner courtyards with no vehicle access, blue parking zones (Blaue Zone — residents-only street parking that requires a permit for anyone else) and neighbourhoods with notoriously strict handover standards are our daily reality. We price all of that in from the start instead of adding it later as an extra.
On top of that comes the time pressure of the Zurich rental market. Flats are often re-let with no gap at all, and sometimes only a few days separate the move-out from the handover. That is why we plan clearance, disposal and final cleaning (Endreinigung) as one continuous sequence, so that the handover happens on the agreed date.

What to bear in mind in Zurich
Building stock and typical properties
The building stock ranges from Gründerzeit period buildings in Aussersihl and Wiedikon, through the large housing-cooperative estates of the 1940s to 1960s in Schwamendingen, Affoltern and Albisrieden, to new-builds in Zurich West and on the Oerlikon site. Period buildings mean narrow stairwells, often no lift, and heavy furniture from an era when wardrobes could not be dismantled. Cooperative flats usually come with clearly defined handover standards and cellar compartments that have been filling up for decades.
Access and logistics
Large parts of the city are blue zone; for a clearance we need a temporary parking permit from the city traffic department (Dienstabteilung Verkehr), which we apply for on your behalf if you wish. The old town and parts of Kreis 1 have driving bans and fixed delivery time windows. For courtyard locations with no vehicle access we work with short carrying distances or a furniture lift (Möbellift — an external hoist that lifts loads through a window or balcony).
Disposal on site
We take material to the collection points of ERZ Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich, sorted by type, and use the designated channels for bulky waste, metal, electronic waste and hazardous waste. On request you receive the disposal receipts with the final invoice.
