Factory clearance services
Closing, relocating or reorganising a production site? We clear factories of machinery, production lines, stock and waste, recover value from anything that can be resold or recycled, and leave you with an empty site, on time.
A factory clearance is the removal of machinery, production equipment, stock, fixtures and waste from a manufacturing site so the building can be closed, sold, re-let or refitted. It usually includes disconnecting and removing machinery, stripping out production lines and racking, clearing offices and welfare areas, and disposing of waste responsibly. A good clearance company will also recover value from machinery, metal and stock to reduce the overall cost.
Included
Arranged separately or through specialists
We walk the site with you, note every machine, line and area, and identify what has resale or scrap value.
You receive a fixed quote showing the work involved and the value we're recovering from machinery, stock and metal.
We agree a programme, prepare risk assessments and method statements, and make sure machinery is safely isolated before removal.
Machinery is removed, lines and racking are dismantled, and everything is sorted for resale, recycling or disposal.
We sweep the building and hand over waste transfer notes, leaving the site ready for its next use.
Every factory is different, so we price each job after a free survey. The main things that affect the cost are:
On sites with a lot of saleable machinery, metal or stock, the value recovered can cover a large part of the cost.
Factories often contain more value than owners realise. Working machinery can be resold, tooling and spares may have buyers, and steel from frames and racking is worth money as scrap. Surplus raw materials and finished stock can also be sold.
Because we're part of Surplus Solutions Group, we can buy many of these items directly rather than sending them for disposal. If you mainly have surplus stock to sell rather than a site to clear, our sister company Factory Clearances specialises in buying factory stock.
Yes. We remove production machinery and plant [including heavy items that need specialist lifting equipment]. Machinery must be safely isolated from power before removal.
Often, yes. Working machinery with resale value can be bought and the value offset against your clearance quote.
It depends on the size of the site and the amount of machinery. Smaller units can take a few days; large factories can take several weeks. We'll give you a clear timescale in your quote.
Yes. We can clear areas in phases so production can continue elsewhere on site, with safe segregation between work areas.
Scrap metal is separated and recycled. Its value is taken into account in your quote.
We'll walk the site with you, identify what has value, and give you a fixed written quote.
