After-death cleaning quote criteria in Paris 6th
Authority comes first. In an estate, we establish who can authorise each removal before assessing the operations. We never appraise furniture, books, frames or objects. No amount, rate or turnaround follows from the contents of a flat or from the name of the service.
This page explains the factors that shape an after-death cleaning quote in Paris 6th. We distinguish items to retain, examine or remove, then assess surfaces, supports, textiles and access. The service itself is described on its dedicated page. Suicide and judicial proceedings have separate scopes and are not covered here.

Assessing an estate in a Paris 6th flat
An estate in Paris 6th may involve a flat containing furniture, a library, frames, papers and objects. The first question is not what to remove but who can authorise each removal. We do not appraise a book, frame, piece of furniture or object. We never value anything and never say what is worth keeping. That question belongs to the estate and, if it wishes, to the professionals it chooses. We separate the sets before planning the work. The person entitled to give instructions decides what stays, what may leave and what still needs review. Until a set is settled, we do not include it in removal. This keeps practical handling separate from ownership and inheritance decisions.
That distinction changes the operations. Something that must stay is worked around. Something authorised to go may need dismantling, packing and carrying. These are different tasks. Textiles and porous materials, such as a mattress, fabric, rug or painted joinery, are not treated like a washable surface. What has been absorbed does not come away like a deposit sitting on top. We also consider the covering found underneath. A parquet, carpet or other floor covering may be marked or damaged and require replacement, which is separate work. We follow the order set by the person entitled to give instructions rather than proposing our own.
Our method for preparing the quote
Identify the authority
We confirm who may give instructions and authorise each removal.
Separate the sets
We distinguish furniture, papers, frames and objects according to the decisions received.
Follow the order
The person entitled to give instructions sets the sequence between inventory, sorting, removal and cleaning.
Examine the supports
We assess washable surfaces, porous materials, textiles and accessible coverings.
Plan the operations
We distinguish working around, dismantling, packing, carrying and disposal.
Set the limits
We separate cleaning, replacement, disinfection and decontamination in the document.
What can shape the quote
- Person entitled to authorise each removal
- Order between inventory, sorting and cleaning
- Furniture and objects required to stay
- Items authorised for removal
- Surfaces and supports within scope
- Textiles and porous materials concerned
- Access, stairs, lift and carrying route
- Covering potentially requiring separate replacement
We follow the order fixed by the person entitled to give instructions and ask nobody to describe the circumstances. We never appraise objects or guarantee finding every personal paper. Identified papers follow the instructions given. Disinfection and decontamination have separate conditions and are not added because of an odour. We promise neither habitability nor disappearance of a smell. A damaged covering may require replacement or repair outside the cleaning quote.

Frequently asked questions
Who authorises the removal of furniture or objects?
The person entitled to give instructions decides what may leave, what stays and what needs review. We do not infer authority from presence, family relationship or the supposed value of an object.
Do you appraise furniture, books or frames?
No. We never appraise or value a library, frame, book or piece of furniture. The estate may choose its own professionals for questions of worth. We do not use value as a sorting criterion.
Why distinguish retained furniture from removed furniture?
Furniture that stays must be worked around. An item authorised for removal may need dismantling, packing, carrying and disposal. These operations require different arrangements and are assessed separately.
Are textiles treated like washable floors?
No. A mattress, fabric, rug or painted joinery can absorb differently from a hard washable surface. We assess what can be cleaned and what may need removal or separate work.
Are personal papers always found and set aside?
No. We isolate papers we identify according to the instructions given. We do not guarantee finding or setting aside every personal document.
Who sets the order of operations in an estate?
The person entitled to give instructions sets the order between inventory, sorting, removal and cleaning. We follow that sequence instead of proposing another.
Does an odour automatically require disinfection?
No. An odour alone does not justify disinfection or decontamination. Those services have separate conditions, and we do not promise that a smell will disappear.
