Warehouse clearance and strip out
Pallet racking, mezzanine floors, shelving, stock and everything in between. We strip out warehouses safely and efficiently, recover value from steel and stock, and leave the building ready for a new layout, a new tenant or a handover.
A warehouse strip out is the removal of racking, mezzanine floors, shelving, equipment and contents from a warehouse, leaving an open, empty building. It's usually needed when a business relocates, reaches the end of a lease, changes its storage layout or consolidates sites. A strip out differs from a simple clearance because it includes dismantling fixed structures, not just removing loose items.
Included
Arranged separately or through specialists
We measure the racking, check the mezzanines and note access, floor condition and any other equipment.
Your fixed quote includes the value of racking and steel we can resell or recycle.
We prepare risk assessments and method statements, agree exclusion zones, and plan the order of work so the building stays safe throughout.
Racking is unloaded, dismantled top-down and removed. Mezzanines are taken apart in sequence, and steel is stacked for collection.
We remove the last of the waste, sweep the floor and hand over the paperwork.
Costs vary with the size and type of the installation, so we price every job after a free survey. The main factors are:
Racking is steel, so it always has some value. On many jobs, that value takes a meaningful amount off the final price.
Dismantling racking and mezzanines is skilled work. Racking must be fully unloaded and taken down in the right order to avoid collapse, and mezzanines need careful sequencing because they're load-bearing structures. Our teams [are trained in racking dismantling and work to agreed method statements].
Where racking is in good condition, it can be reused, either by another business or in your new building. If you're relocating, ask us about moving your racking rather than buying new.
Steel that can't be reused is recycled through our sister company We Buy Any Scrap Metal.
Yes. Racking in good condition can often be bought or resold, and its value is offset against your strip out quote.
It depends on the number of bays and their height. A small installation can be removed in a day or two; a large distribution centre may take a few weeks.
Yes. We dismantle and remove mezzanine floors, including stairs, handrails and decking, after any power has been isolated.
[We can fill anchor holes and make good the floor if your lease requires it.] Tell us at the survey so we can include it in the quote.
Yes. We can clear or buy stock left in the warehouse as part of the same job.
Book a free survey and we'll measure up, value the racking and give you a fixed written quote.
