After-death cleaning quote factors in Paris 7th
The quote follows the operations required. We assess the furniture, materials, access and instructions that shape the agreed work after a death. The person entitled to give instructions sets the order and authorises each removal. No amount, duration or habitability result is promised.
A large piece may be authorised to leave but still require dismantling, packing and carrying through the entire building. A textile or porous support also needs a different assessment from a washable surface. We distinguish what stays, what may leave and what requires separate work, without appraising anything or asking about circumstances.

Furniture that predates the present building layout
In the flats of the 7th, some furniture entered the property long before the present partitions, doors or lift. A mirrored wardrobe, sideboard, upright piano or corner bookcase may have been installed when the route through the flat was different. Even when the estate authorises its removal, the item may not pass through the building whole. We therefore check the width of the doors, the turn in the corridor, the landing and the stairwell before including the operation. Dismantling is considered only with prior agreement from the person entitled to give instructions. We do not assume that an item can be taken apart safely, and we guarantee neither reassembly nor reuse after dismantling. The item’s apparent size in the room does not tell us whether it can reach the street.
These checks distinguish several operations that are sometimes treated as one. Something that must remain is worked around. Something authorised to leave may need dismantling, packing and carrying along the entire internal route. Those tasks do not follow from the floor area alone. A mattress, fabric, rug or painted joinery is not assessed like a washable surface, because absorbed material does not come away like what sits on top. The covering underneath may then require replacement, which is separate work. We follow the estate’s order of inventory, sorting, removal and cleaning instead of proposing our own. We appraise nothing, and papers are set aside only when identified under the instructions given.

The quote reflects the operations required by the authorised items and the actual route through the property. A large piece may need dismantling and several carrying stages even when the room itself is easy to access. Furniture that remains is worked around, while textiles and porous materials are assessed separately from washable surfaces. We do not appraise belongings or decide what should leave. Personal papers are set aside when identified according to the instructions given, without guaranteeing that all will be found.

Questions about after-death cleaning quotes
Who sets the order of operations in an estate?
The person entitled to give instructions sets the order of inventory, sorting, removal and cleaning. We follow it.
Does authorising removal mean a piece can leave whole?
No. We check doors, corridor turns, landings and stairs. Dismantling may be needed and guarantees neither reassembly nor reuse.
Do you appraise furniture or objects?
No. We appraise nothing. Value is a matter for the estate and any professionals it chooses.
How are items that must remain handled?
We work around them within the agreed scope. We do not remove or move them without authorisation.
Are textiles treated like washable surfaces?
No. Mattresses, fabrics, rugs and painted joinery may retain absorbed material and require a different assessment.
Is replacing a damaged covering included?
No. Replacement of parquet, flooring or another damaged covering is separate work.
Do you guarantee finding every personal paper?
No. We set aside papers we identify according to the instructions given, without guaranteeing that all will be found.
