Not all storage clearances are the same. Before requesting a quote, it helps to know which type of storage space you are dealing with, because the logistics, access conditions, and costs differ significantly.
A self-storage unit (Lagerbox) at a facility like MyPlace, Squarefoot, or swissbox+ has specific access constraints: facility opening hours, narrow corridors, weight restrictions, and floor protection rules. The contract has an end date, and the unit must be empty by then, or you will continue paying.
A private storage room is a rented or owned space in a residential or commercial building — not a self-storage facility. Access is usually more flexible, but the space is often in a basement or ground-floor area with its own access challenges.
A business warehouse or commercial depot contains goods, materials, equipment, or archives — sometimes with racking systems and pallets. Clearance requires coordinated logistics and, for archive rooms, potentially GDPR-compliant document destruction.
ZüriClean handles all three. Tell us which applies to you, and we will build a clearance plan that fits the space, the deadline, and the contents.
Self-storage units at commercial facilities are the most access-constrained clearances we handle. Facility corridors are narrow, lifts may not exist or may be restricted, access is limited to facility opening hours, and floor protection rules may apply inside the unit. We work within these constraints — coordinating our schedule with facility access times, using equipment that fits the corridors, and leaving the unit spotless for return inspection.
If your contract is ending, do not let the deadline pass without booking a clearance. Most self-storage facilities charge full monthly rent for even a single day of overrun. We often schedule urgent clearances within 1–3 working days.
A privately rented or owned storage room — in a commercial building, ground floor, or residential basement — is typically more straightforward to access than a self-storage facility. These spaces often accumulate a mix of household and business items. We empty them, sort for disposal or donation, and leave them broom-clean.
Clearing a commercial storage space involves additional planning: racking systems must be dismantled before loading, heavy pallets need appropriate equipment, and business goods or archive files may require documented disposal. We quote commercial clearances after a site visit or photo documentation — not from a standard price list.
This is a specific sub-category of business clearance. Archive rooms contain paper files, folders, and potentially digital storage media — all of which may contain personal data subject to GDPR / Swiss DSG regulations. Simply disposing of these files in a skip or recycling bin is not compliant. See the dedicated section below on certified document destruction.
The most urgent situation we handle. If your self-storage contract is ending and the unit is not empty by the final day, most facilities charge you a full additional month. We treat these as priority bookings. Call us directly if your deadline is within a week — we will find a way to schedule it.
A company is closing, merging, or moving to a new location. The storage depot, archive room, or warehouse space must be vacated. We handle commercial clearances, including racking removal, goods disposal, and archive destruction — with full documentation.
A self-storage unit that was taken for three months during a move has become a permanent fixture. The monthly cost has accumulated, and the contents need to either be relocated, donated, or disposed of. We help you sort what is worth keeping and efficiently handle the rest.
A family member has passed away and left behind a rented storage unit. The contract must be terminated, and the unit cleared — often quickly, to stop ongoing rental costs. We handle these situations with care and discretion. You do not need to be present.
Items were moved to storage during a renovation and never moved back. The space is no longer needed, and the lease is expensive. We clear everything in one visit.
Tell us the type of storage space, approximate size (m² or m³ estimated), main contents, and the facility or location. For self-storage, tell us the facility name — we know the access constraints at the major Zürich providers. For business clearances, photos are particularly helpful. We respond within 24 hours.
You receive a written, binding quote. For self-storage units, we usually quote without a site visit based on size and content description. For business warehouses or large depots, we recommend a brief site visit. No hourly rates — the price is fixed.
For self-storage, we coordinate with the facility's opening hours and your contract end date. For private or business storage, we schedule according to your timeline. Urgent bookings within 48 hours are handled where possible — call us directly for these.
We arrive with the right equipment — including narrow-corridor trolleys for self-storage facilities. Everything is removed systematically, sorted by disposal category, and transported to licensed facilities. The space is left broom-clean, ready for key return or landlord inspection. A written clearance confirmation is available on request.
Costs depend on: size of the storage space, volume and weight of contents, access conditions (facility type, lift availability, floor restrictions), type of materials (standard vs. special waste), and whether document destruction or racking dismantling is needed. Market data from umzugsexpress.ch shows Lagerräumungen starting from CHF 850 in Zürich.

Clearing a self-storage unit is not the same as clearing a basement room. Commercial self-storage facilities in Zürich have specific constraints that many clearance companies are not set up to handle properly.
▌ If you are clearing a self-storage unit, tell us the facility name and your contract end date when you request a quote. We know the major Zürich providers (MyPlace Binz, MyPlace Dietlikon, Squarefoot, swissbox+, Zebrabox) and their specific access conditions.
If you are clearing a business archive room or office storage space that contains paper files, printed documents, contracts, employee records, or digital storage media (hard drives, USB sticks, CDs), standard clearance disposal is not sufficient. Under Swiss data protection law (DSG) and EU GDPR (which applies to companies with EU data subjects), personal and confidential data must be destroyed in a verifiable, certified manner — not simply recycled or disposed of in general waste.
ZüriClean coordinates certified document destruction for business archive clearances through trusted specialist partners. You receive a clearance + destruction certificate in a single engagement — no need to engage a separate document destruction company and then a separate clearance company.
If your archive clearance does not contain personal or confidential data, standard clearance and paper recycling apply, which is significantly less expensive. We advise you on the correct approach when you request a quote.
After a storage room or depot is cleared, the space often needs cleaning before it can be handed back — especially if the storage facility has a condition clause in the contract, or if the room is part of a flat or office you are vacating. ZüriClean is the only clearance company in Zürich that also provides professional cleaning.
We have cleared units at all major Zürich self-storage providers — MyPlace, Squarefoot, swissbox+, Zebrabox. We know the access rules, corridor dimensions, and opening hours before we arrive.
Self-storage contract deadlines are hard. We schedule urgent clearances within 1–3 working days. Call us directly if your deadline is within the week — we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
Racking dismantling, pallet removal, archive destruction, documented disposal — we approach commercial clearances with the professionalism that business clients need.
No other clearance company in Zürich coordinates certified document destruction as part of a storage clearance. We do — with a destruction certificate included.
You receive a written fixed price before we start. We do not add surcharges when there is more in the unit than expected — we discuss it with you before proceeding.
No other clearance company in Zürich also provides professional end-of-tenancy or office cleaning. ZüriClean does — combining both in a single booking where needed.
We clear storage units and warehouse spaces across Zürich city and the canton:
Not sure if we cover your facility or location? Contact us, and we will confirm.
Tell us the type of storage, approximate size, main contents, and your deadline. We send a fixed-price quote within 24 hours — no obligation, no hidden charges.
Photos of the unit and the facility name (for self-storage) are all we need to get started.
Our guide prices start from CHF 280 for a small self-storage unit. A standard unit (5–15 m³) runs CHF 420–650. Business warehouse clearances start from CHF 850, depending on volume and content. Market data shows Lagerräumungen in Zürich starting from CHF 850 for commercial spaces. You receive a confirmed written fixed-price quote before we start.
Yes — this is one of our specialist services. We know the access constraints at major Zürich self-storage providers (MyPlace, Squarefoot, swissbox+, Zebrabox) and bring equipment that fits within facility corridors and opening hours.
We prioritise self-storage clearances with hard deadlines. In many cases, we can schedule a clearance within 1–3 working days. If your contract ends within a week, call us directly — we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Items are sorted during clearance — furniture assessed for donation, metal to recycling, electronics to e-waste channels, paper to recycling or certified destruction, Sonderabfall to licensed facilities. We do not simply load everything into a general skip. A disposal confirmation is available on request.
Yes. Business storage clearances — including goods depots, workshop storage, and archive rooms — are handled professionally. For archive rooms containing personal or confidential data, we coordinate certified document destruction with a destruction certificate issued on completion.
If your archive room contains personal data — employee records, customer files, contracts, financial records — simply recycling them is not compliant with Swiss DSG or EU GDPR. Certified document shredding to DIN 66399 Level P-4 or higher is required, with a certificate of destruction. We coordinate this as part of your archive clearance. If no personal data is involved, standard paper recycling applies.
For self-storage units, you will need to provide access (a key or access code) — most facilities require the account holder to be present or to formally authorise access. For private or business storage rooms, you can leave a key, and we manage everything independently. We confirm this at the quote stage for your specific situation.
Yes. ZüriClean is the only clearance company in Zürich that also provides professional cleaning. Storage clearance + end-of-tenancy cleaning, or storage clearance + office cleaning — one booking, one invoice.
Yes, for commercial clearances. Racking and shelving dismantling is quoted as part of the clearance assessment — it is an additional line item depending on size and complexity, confirmed in your written quote before we start.
