Interior demolition cost in Brussels: what drives the quote

Interior demolition is not priced per square metre like painting: the cost depends mainly on the volume and weight of the materials to remove, access to the site and rubble removal. That is why a serious contractor visits before giving a price.

What makes the price vary?

• Materials: a plasterboard partition comes down quickly; a brick wall or concrete screed takes longer and produces heavy rubble.
• Thickness and volume: 10 m² of floor tiles on a thick screed is far more rubble than 10 m² of wall tiles.
• Access: floor level, lift or not, stairwell width, distance to the street. Many Brussels terraced houses can only be reached through the front.
• Removal: skip size, number of runs, parking permit, waste sorting.
• Technique: manual demolition, chipping hammer, concrete or stone sawing.
• Protection: co-ownership rules, common areas, elements to keep.

Can I get an idea before the visit?

Yes, for the volume. Our rubble calculator estimates volume, weight and skip size from areas and thicknesses, so you arrive at the visit with a concrete basis. At ProDemolition, removal of construction and household waste starts from €500; the rest is priced after the free visit.

How to get a reliable quote

1. List what must go (partitions, floors, ceilings, kitchen, bathroom…) and what stays.
2. Take a few photos and note the floor level and access.
3. Ask for a visit: a quote without a visit is only an estimate.
4. Check the quote includes removal, skip, municipal paperwork and cleaning.
