Extreme cleaning Paris 12th: defining the work above and below ground
A request for extreme cleaning in Paris 12th may involve a flat, a basement cellar or a lock-up with separate access and permissions. A ground-floor entrance brings another consideration: equipment and outgoing waste pass directly in front of neighbours or pedestrians. Défi Clean defines the spaces, decisions and movements involved before proposing the work.
This page helps you identify whether your request concerns sorting, clearance, cleaning or a treatment requiring further assessment. The presence of a cellar does not automatically include it in the job, while a door at ground level does not settle the loading arrangements. Each proposal follows the authorised person’s decisions and records the conditions that still need to be checked.
- Identify each space needing attention
- Confirm permission for basement work
- Plan movements through direct entrances
- Separate included tasks from exclusions

See the quote factors →Basement annexes and ground-floor homes in the 12th
In the 12th, residential developments from the 1960s to the 1980s around Picpus and Bel-Air can include individual cellars and lock-ups, while newer developments in Bercy and Reuilly may have basement storage units. An annex is a separate lot with its own entrance and permission requirements. Its user may differ from the person living in the flat, so the belongings inside cannot simply be assigned to that resident. Nor does the condition of one space describe the other: a heavily cluttered flat may have a relatively clear cellar, or the reverse. Where no lift serves the basement, carrying takes place on stairs or a ramp and needs to be assessed separately. Missing lighting or a water point may also affect the equipment required. These details belong in the annex description before it is included, rather than being inferred from the assessment upstairs.
A ground-floor home opening onto a courtyard or street presents a different problem: the entrance is also where working movements meet the outside passage. With no landing between them, equipment and outgoing materials may be visible to neighbours, pedestrians or nearby businesses. An unmarked vehicle, equipment packaged before leaving it, closed waste containers and grouped movements help limit that exposure without promising an unnoticed visit. A window at pavement level also needs its own assessment of when it can be opened. A wide road does not guarantee a loading space, and residential streets away from the main roads may make parking more restrictive. Any permissions needed for parking or using public space must be confirmed with the relevant parties; Défi Clean does not issue them or treat them as automatically available.
From the first description to an agreed scope
Describe the request
You identify the home, any annex and the work you would like considered, including whether the entrance opens onto a courtyard or street.
Identify the permissions
We establish who can authorise work in each space and which decisions about belongings remain unresolved before proposing operations.
Examine the access
Stairs, ramps, lighting, water and direct entrances are considered against the equipment and movements required for the proposed tasks.
Separate the operations
Sorting, removal, cleaning and any assessed treatments are described individually so that their inclusion does not depend on a general label.
Record the limits
The quote names the included spaces, exclusions and reservations about materials before the authorised person agrees to the proposed work.
Review the completed scope
The operations performed are checked against the agreement, with untreated areas and observed limitations reported to the authorised person.
What determines the content of a quote
- Spaces accessible with explicit permission
- Annex included or expressly excluded
- Belongings authorised for moving or removal
- Materials and existing surface deterioration
- Carrying by stairs or ramp
- Available lighting and water supplies
- Conditions for ground-level outgoing movements
- Appropriate routes for identified waste
The quote brings together the agreed tasks without merging the home and its annex. A direct entrance may ease some movements while requiring more preparation for visible departures. A cellar may be accessible yet contain materials already affected by moisture. Unexamined or unauthorised spaces remain excluded or pending clarification; their treatment is never assumed from the description of the flat, and any later addition requires a defined scope and the corresponding agreement.

Questions about homes, basement annexes and direct access
Does cleaning the flat automatically include its cellar?
No. The cellar needs a separate scope, accessible entry and permission from the authorised person. Its contents and condition must be examined before any operations are added; permission for the flat alone does not cover the annex.
Can you force a cellar door if nobody has the key?
No. We never force a cellar door. Access must be made possible through an authorised arrangement before its contents can be assessed. Work in the flat can retain its separate agreed scope while the annex remains excluded.
Can a street-level entrance guarantee that nobody notices the work?
No. Direct access can make movements visible. An unmarked vehicle, packaged equipment, closed waste containers and grouped passages help limit exposure, but they cannot guarantee that neighbours or passers-by will not notice the visit.
Who determines whether an entrance feature is private or communal?
Its status must be checked in the applicable co-ownership documents and with the relevant parties. We do not classify an element from its position beside the door; any permission needed for its use or treatment must be clarified first.
Is disinfection or decontamination automatically included?
No. Disinfection depends on the assessed need: full effect on non-porous materials requires protocol conditions; porous materials depend on the material, product and target risk. Decontamination requires an assessed, identified risk warranting a specific protocol.
Can every type of waste leave through the same disposal route?
No. Healthcare waste and chemical products require a dedicated disposal route. Their presence should be reported so that appropriate handling can be defined; they are not included indiscriminately with the other waste planned for removal.
Does completing the cleaning confirm that the home is habitable?
No. The quote covers defined operations, without guaranteeing habitability, the disappearance of an odour or restoration to the original appearance. An old mark may remain visible, and some damaged materials may still require repair.
