Loading bay for the truck in Aalst
For a truck on the street, pavement or parking space, the City of Aalst issues a free permit via EagleBe, at least 7 calendar days ahead. The applicant provides and places the signs. In the car-free area a second permit is needed, and weight limits for trucks apply in the centre.

Clearing a deep terraced house in Aalst
In Aalst and its sub-municipalities the terraced house dominates: narrow at the street, deep towards the back, with a yard or garden, a rear extension and often an attic only reachable by a loft ladder. Everything goes out through the front door and the hallway, so the hallway width decides the pace.
The attic is usually the heaviest part. What does not pass the hatch is dismantled up there. See cellar, attic and garage clearance for what that involves.
Between Brussels and Ghent
Aalst lies on the line between Brussels and Ghent, and more and more people who work in the capital live here. A clearance is often linked to a sale or the end of a lease; in both cases the home must be empty by a set date, with the outbuildings included.
Request the free permit for the truck at least a week ahead, and check whether your street is in the car-free area. The general procedure is in the parking permit guide; for the capital, see house clearance in Brussels.
What does a house clearance in Aalst cost?
The guide price for a whole home is €900 to €2,500, for one full space €250 to €600. A deep terraced house with an extension and a full attic sits higher than a flat with a lift.
You receive a fixed price in advance from photos. The factors are on house clearance prices.
