Clearing a house in Hermance, between the medieval core and the lake
Hermance is the far end of the canton: a medieval village around the 13th-century Tour d'Hermance, the Hermance river marking the French border at Chens-sur-Léman, a small port and a beach below, and the Route d'Hermance running back through Anières and Corsier. A débarras (house clearance) here is never a one-van job. The old stone houses are heritage-protected, the stairwells are narrow, there is no lift, cellars run deep and attics are low, and lakeside villas add nebengebäude, garages and garden stores to the count.
We start with triage, not with the truck. Everything is split into four real streams: what the owner or family keeps, what goes to donation, what still has resale value, and what has to be separated for disposal. That distinction is what keeps the bill down, because in Geneva you pay to dispose and you do not pay to donate. Only after that pass do we size the vehicle and plan the déchetterie (recycling centre) runs.
The clearance is also a deadline exercise. If the property is rented or being handed back, the house has to be empty before the état des lieux (handover inspection) so the cleaning can follow immediately — an empty house cleaned the same week protects the garantie de loyer (rental deposit) far better than a rushed morning on the day itself.
Why trust us with your house clearance in Hermance
Genuine sorting, not one skip
Donation, resale, recycling and residual waste are separated on site, so you only pay disposal on what truly has to be disposed of.
Geneva waste fractions respected
Ferraille (scrap metal), wood, encombrants (bulky waste), WEEE electronics and hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, batteries and chemicals each go to the right filière.
Village lanes solved in advance
Single-lane streets with no turning space and no lift in the old core are planned before the day — a small shuttle vehicle at the nearest usable point and a defined carry route.
Careful in protected buildings
Heritage-protected stone houses, narrow stairwells, old doorframes and period details are protected while furniture is dismantled and carried out.
Works when you are not there
Second homes and absent owners are routine here: we coordinate keys and access with the régie (managing agent), the concierge or the gardener and report back with photos.
Clearance and cleaning chained
Empty house first, end-of-tenancy cleaning straight after, timed to your état des lieux or your sale visit.
How your clearance works in Hermance
- 1
Visit, volume and fixed quote
We walk the house, cellar, attic and outbuildings, estimate volume and weight, check the lane, the turning space and parking, then confirm a firm price in CHF.
- 2
Access and access-holder coordination
Keys, parking, the lift-free stair route and, if you are abroad, the régie, the concierge or the gardener are lined up before the day.
- 3
Triage day
Keep, donate, resell, dispose. Valuables and documents are set aside; nothing leaves without your agreement.
- 4
Separated disposal
Scrap metal, wood, encombrants, WEEE and hazardous waste each go to the correct déchetterie or take-back point; usable goods go to donation or the espace de récupération.
- 5
Empty, swept, then cleaned
The house is handed over swept, with a photo report if you are away; optional end-of-tenancy cleaning follows immediately, ahead of the état des lieux or the sale.

Our house clearance service in Hermance
Hermance is the canton's outermost commune on the left bank, at the end of the Route d'Hermance beyond Anières and Corsier, with the Hermance river and the French border at Chens-sur-Léman right there. There is no railway station: the village runs on the TPG bus and on cars, which is exactly why a clearance day here needs a parking and carry plan rather than good luck.
Two building types dominate. In the medieval core around the Tour d'Hermance the lanes are single-lane, often with no turning space and no access for a full-size truck, and the houses are heritage-protected stone buildings with narrow stairwells, no lift, deep cellars and low attics — we work with a small shuttle vehicle and a planned carry route, in stages, so the lane is never blocked for long. Down towards the port, the beach and the lake there are villas with nebengebäude and garden stores, where volumes are larger but access is easy.
Many of these properties are second homes with owners abroad, so we are used to working on a keyholder's schedule, coordinating with the régie, the concierge or the gardener and reporting back with photos and disposal receipts. Damp cellars and musty stored goods are common in the old houses and are sorted with that in mind. A move-out clearance and an inheritance clearance are handled differently — the estate case involves heirs, timing and paperwork, and that is covered by our succession clearance service.

Frequently asked questions — House Clearance in Hermance
How is the price calculated?
On volume and weight, plus access. After a visit we confirm a firm price in CHF with no hidden extras; sorting, donation runs and déchetterie disposal are included in that figure.
The lane is too narrow for a truck and there is nowhere to turn — how do you manage?
We plan it before the day. A small shuttle vehicle stops at the nearest usable point, we define a carry route through the narrow stairwell and out to the street, and we work in stages so the lane stays passable. Larger transfers happen away from the village core.
Do you clear deep cellars and low attics in the old stone houses?
Yes, the whole house is covered: cellar, attic, outbuildings and garden stores. Damp cellars and musty boxes are common in Hermance, so we sort them on the spot and separate what is salvageable from what has to be disposed of.
What actually gets donated or sold rather than thrown away?
Clean furniture, working appliances, crockery, textiles, books and tools generally find a home through Caritas, Emmaüs or the espace de récupération. Resale value drops fast with wear, dated styles and bulky pieces, so we tell you honestly what is worth listing and what is better donated.
Which waste has to be separated in Geneva?
Ferraille, wood, encombrants and WEEE each have their own filière, and hazardous waste — paint, solvents, batteries, chemicals, fluorescent tubes — must go to a dedicated collection point. We sort these on site and take them to the right déchetterie.
Can you clear before the état des lieux and clean afterwards?
Yes, that is the usual sequence. The property is emptied and swept first, then cleaned, so the house is presentable for the handover inspection with your régie and your garantie de loyer is protected.
The owner is abroad — can you still proceed?
Yes. We work with the régie, the concierge, the gardener or a PPE (condominium) caretaker for keys and access, and send photo confirmation of the emptied rooms together with the disposal receipts.
Is an inheritance clearance different from a normal move-out?
Yes. A move-out clearance follows the tenancy deadline, while an estate clearance involves heirs, agreement on what is kept and documents to be preserved; that is handled by our succession clearance service.
