Household Clearance in Vienna
Household Clearance in Vienna
A written schedule of services, the same registered team, and the price in writing after a free site visit.
02. What Household Clearance at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Vienna at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
A final clean ready for handover
After the clearance there is a clean: floors, windows, sanitary fittings, kitchen connections. The condition and meter readings are photographed and handed over with a date.
Accompanied pre-sorting
Where relatives want to go through it with us, we work room by room with a simple system: staying, going, unclear. The boxes stay where they are until you have decided.
Passing items on to charitable organisations
Usable crockery, textiles, furniture and books are collected and, as far as an organisation will take them, passed on with a transfer list rather than disposed of.
Protecting the stairwell and the lift
Edge protection on corners, covering in the lift, protective fleece on stairs and landings. In a clearance, damage happens on the route, not in the flat.
Cellar, garage and outbuildings
Old tyres, waste oil, paint remains, garden equipment, tools and fitted shelving. In terms of volume these rooms are often the larger part and are recorded separately.
Destroying data media and records
Files, bank statements, prescriptions, old computers, hard drives and mobile phones. Paper is collected and taken for destruction, and data media are destroyed rather than put into the electrical waste.
The Viennese Gründerzeit building governs everything here: fourth floor with no lift, a narrow spiral staircase, box-type windows as the only larger opening and a courtyard into which no vehicle drives. For the collection we apply for the official temporary no-parking zone with plenty of notice, because otherwise the carrying distance costs half a day. Hazardous materials and waste electrical equipment go to the city's collection points, and lofts bring old contents and infill with them on top.
03. Household Clearance: Bling Bling vs. the competition
Clearing a flat is rarely a transport matter and almost always one of trust and deadlines: strangers walk through a relative's estate, the handback to the landlord or housing cooperative hangs on a date, and whatever has once gone does not come back. On top of that there is the disposal side, because hazardous materials, refrigeration appliances and waste electrical equipment may not go into bulky waste. We work with photographic documentation before and after the clearance, with a list of finds for everything that has value or significance, and with transfer receipts for each fraction. The date is confirmed in writing, because a handover of keys usually hangs on it. In Vienna, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

06. 10 reasons for Household Clearance from Bling Bling
What a cleaning company has to be measured against — and which of it can be verified.
1In business since 2014
A family firm, not a franchise and not a broker — whoever quotes also carries out the work.
2Registered core team
Permanently employed and properly registered. No chain of subcontractors where nobody is liable at the end.
3The same people every time
The team knows the building, the access and the routines. Cover is arranged and named in advance.
4€3m public liability
Personal injury, property and financial loss covered; the certificate is attached to the quotation.
5RKI/VAH-listed agents, HACCP
Listed agents, trained staff, a cleaning and disinfection plan for each building.
6Multilingual
German, English and five further languages — the briefing gets through.
7No price without a site visit
A flat price over the phone rarely holds. After the visit the framework is set out in writing. A monthly flat rate applies to weekly recurring cleaning; one-off and deep cleans by effort - hourly, per square metre or flat - travel included.
8Dated proof
Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9Clearance and final clean in one order
The flat is not left swept clean but ready for handover, and nobody pushes the boundary back and forth.
10Clearance in phases is possible
Where relatives want to take part in the decisions, we work across several appointments instead of taking everything away in one day.
07. Household Clearance in 4 more cities
Bling Bling works in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Klosterneuburg — with its own staff on site, not with subcontractors hired in.
08. Household Clearance for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
Merging two households
Duplicate furniture, a duplicate kitchen, duplicate cellars. What gets cleared is whatever is left after the selection.
The loft before a loft conversion
Before a conversion the loft has to be entirely free, including the residents' existing belongings, the infill and stored items of unknown origin.
A flat with heavily accumulated contents
Where nothing has been disposed of for years, the clearance is a question of access, the stability of the stacks and protective equipment. We approach that in phases and without an audience in the building.
After a death
The flat is to be cleared, but the probate proceedings are still running. In that situation we deliberately work slowly: secure, document, and only clear once you release it.
A move into a care home or assisted living
Part of the household contents moves along, the rest goes. The selection is marked out together beforehand and packed separately.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Household Clearance
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
Refrigerators and freezers have to be defrosted beforehand
If a full freezer is unplugged and taken away the next day, meltwater runs across the floor and the contents have spoiled by then — with a smell that goes into the screed and the skirting boards. Refrigeration and freezing appliances also count as waste electrical equipment containing refrigerant and may only be accepted with the circuit undamaged. We therefore plan defrosting and emptying as a step of its own, a day or two before the clearance.
Nothing is thrown away before the probate proceedings
As long as the estate has not been formally transferred to the heirs by court order, the household contents do not belong to the relatives, and individual heirs cannot decide on the clearance by themselves. In practice that means: records, savings books, insurance policies and keys are secured and handed over, and the clearance itself only carried out after release. We document the condition before starting, so that nobody later has to guess what was there.
Hazardous materials and old appliances may not go into bulky waste
Paint and varnish remains, solvents, aerosol cans, fluorescent tubes, batteries, rechargeable cells and medicines go to the hazardous waste collection point. Refrigeration and air conditioning appliances contain refrigerant and have to be accepted as waste electrical equipment with the circuit intact — a torn-off compressor unit makes the acceptance more expensive. In older buildings, night storage heaters and old vinyl tiles complete with adhesive come on top of that: we leave those in place and say so, rather than taking them away.

●. Frequently asked questions about Household Clearance in Vienna
What does Household Clearance cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
