Diogenes clearance in Paris 6th

Défi Clean organises clearance from a flat, cellar or other premises in Paris 6th when belongings must be checked and removed. The person entitled to give instructions decides what leaves, what stays and what remains undecided. We adapt containers and carrying routes to the weight of books, the staircase, the lift and the journey to the loading point.

Getting a heavy volume out of a classic 6th arrondissement building
Books and papers fill a box quickly, but they make it heavy well before it is full. In a classic building in Paris 6th, that weight often decides the container size and the number of carrying trips more than the floor area does. An old lift, where one exists, may not take a box upright or a piece of furniture. The staircase then becomes the real route, with its steps, turns and landings. We look at that route before proposing anything. We check the doorway, the places where a load can be put down safely and the width available at each turn. The person entitled to give instructions decides what leaves. We do not infer ownership or worth from a book, paper or object.
The journey continues outside. Around rue de Buci and the Odéon, streets can be narrow or pedestrianised, terraces occupy the pavement and deliveries take place at set hours. The van rarely stands directly outside the door. The distance to the loading point and the time of day therefore count as much as the staircase inside. We group trips and keep bags closed, without using the pavement as a waiting area. The building rules and managing agent settle what may be used in common areas and when. We do not decide those conditions and we do not promise that nobody will notice the work.
Our clearance method
Collect instructions
We identify the person entitled to give instructions for each set of books, papers and objects.
Inspect the route
We examine doors, lift, staircase, landings and the path to the possible loading point.
Choose containers
We adapt boxes, bags and protection to the weight, format and fragility of the items.
Dismantle with consent
We dismantle furniture only after agreement and without promising reassembly or reuse.
Carry in stages
We plan trips around the steps, turns, street conditions and outside distance.
Dispose by route
We close containers and direct unusual waste to dedicated channels where required.
What can shape the clearance
- Volume of books, papers and objects
- Weight of boxes before they are full
- Furniture requiring prior dismantling

Clearance covers sorting, authorised dismantling, packing, carrying and disposal. It does not include thorough cleaning of floors, walls or furniture after the items have gone. We never appraise anything or sort by worth, and the person entitled to give instructions decides each set. Identified personal papers follow the instructions given, without a guarantee that every document will be found. Known unusual containers must be reported without opening them. Healthcare waste and chemicals follow dedicated routes and may require an authorised provider.

Frequently asked questions
What does clearance alone include?
We sort according to instructions, dismantle where authorised, pack, carry and dispose of the agreed items. Thorough cleaning of the floors, walls or furniture exposed afterwards is not included.
Do you decide which books or objects are worth keeping?
No. We never appraise or sort by supposed worth. The person entitled to give instructions decides each set. Anything still undecided remains in place.
Why does the weight of books matter?
A box of books becomes heavy before it is full. We therefore adapt its size, the number of loads and the carrying trips to the stairs and the distance outside.
Can you guarantee finding all personal papers?
No. We set aside papers we identify according to the instructions given. A specific search can be agreed separately, but we do not guarantee finding every document.
Can a dismantled piece of furniture be reused?
We do not guarantee that. Dismantling requires prior agreement, and the construction, condition or route may prevent reassembly or future use.
Can an old lift be used for every item?
No. Its cabin, door, load limit and levels served may prevent a box or piece of furniture from entering. We assess the staircase and its turns when the lift is unsuitable.
Do you clean the floor after clearance?
No. Clearance ends with the removal of authorised items. Thorough cleaning of the surfaces freed is a separate service with its own scope.
