Commercial clearances across the UK
Factories, warehouses and commercial units cleared, stripped out and handed back. We plan the job, remove everything that needs to go, recover value where we can, and leave you with an empty, swept site ready for the next chapter.
A commercial clearance is the removal of everything from a business property, such as a factory, warehouse, office or retail unit, so the space is left empty and ready to hand back, sell or re-let. It usually covers machinery, racking, furniture, stock and waste, and can include stripping out fixtures and fittings to return the building to its original shell.
Most businesses need one at a turning point: a closure, a relocation, a downsize or the end of a lease. The deadline is usually fixed, the site is often full, and there's a lot to coordinate. That's the part we take off your hands.
Before we arrive
When we hand back
Whether you're closing, relocating or reorganising, we clear production sites of machinery, lines, tooling, stock and waste, and recover value from anything that can be resold or recycled.
From pallet racking and mezzanine floors to shelving, conveyors and offices, we strip out warehouses safely and efficiently, ready for a new tenant or a new layout.
Leaving a commercial unit at the end of a lease? We clear and strip out the premises to the standard your lease requires, helping you avoid disputes and unexpected dilapidations costs.
Machinery and plant
Storage and structures
Contents and waste
Sometimes, yes, and it almost always costs less than you expect. Many clearances contain things with real value: working machinery, steel racking, scrap metal and saleable stock. Because we're part of Surplus Solutions Group, we can buy or recover these items directly and take that value off the cost of your clearance.
Where the stock and metal are worth more than the work involved, the clearance can cost very little, or nothing at all. We'll show you the numbers in your quote so you can see exactly how the value has been accounted for.
Specialist teams within our group
We visit the site, walk through every area with you and note what needs to go, what has value and any access or safety issues.
You get a written quote showing the work, the timescale and any value we're recovering. No surprises later.
We prepare a method statement and risk assessment, agree working hours and access, and coordinate with your landlord or agent if needed.
Our team removes everything agreed, dismantles racking and structures, and separates items for resale, recycling and disposal.
We leave the site empty and swept, and give you the waste paperwork for your records. You hand back the keys on time.
Clearing a commercial site isn't just about getting things out of the door. As a business, you have a legal duty of care for your waste, even after it leaves your premises. Working with a properly registered clearance company protects you as well as your site.

We clear sites throughout England, Scotland and Wales, from single units on industrial estates to large distribution centres. We regularly work in [the North West, the Midlands, Yorkshire and the North East, London and the South East], and we'll travel for larger projects anywhere in mainland UK.
It depends on the size of the site, how much there is to remove, access, and how much of it can be resold or recycled. That's why we start with a free site survey and give you a fixed written quote. Any value we recover is shown in the quote and offset against the cost.
A small unit can often be cleared in a day or two. A large factory or warehouse strip out can take a few weeks. We'll give you a clear timescale in your quote and work to your deadline.
Yes. Most of our work runs to a fixed date, such as a lease end, a completion or a move. Tell us the date at the survey and we'll plan the job around it.
Yes. As part of Surplus Solutions Group, we can buy machinery, stock, racking and scrap metal, and offset that value against the cost of your clearance.
We separate everything for reuse, resale and recycling first. Anything left goes to licensed facilities, and you receive waste transfer notes for your records.
[We arrange hazardous waste removal and asbestos work through licensed specialists.] If you suspect asbestos, tell us at the survey so it can be checked before work starts.
Not necessarily. Once the scope is agreed, we can work with access arrangements and keep you updated with photos and progress reports.
Yes. Alongside factories and warehouses, we clear offices, shops and other commercial units, especially at the end of a lease.
Tell us about the site and what needs clearing. We'll arrange a survey at a time that suits you and send a fixed written quote.
