Commercial Office Clearance

As well as our residential domestic house clearance services we provide a professional commercial clearance service. Whether this is an office clearance or for a factory or warehouse.

We appreciate that there typically a few different scenarios when carrying out a commercial office clearance. Some may simply be that following. or prior to, an office staff restructuring or an office revamp/rebranding exercise you will want to get rid of the surplus furniture, filing and other items which do not fit or will simply clutter your planned redesign. In these scenarios, we appreciate that often this work will need to be carried out whilst some members of staff will be trying to keep the business running as usual so our teams will always aim to be as quiet and discreet as possible to minimise the amount of disturbance our clearance activities will make. We will work with your facilities or office manager to agree on the rubbish removal workflow and follow appropriate directions regarding how you would like your waste disposed of. A decluttered office environment has been shown to improve the efficiencies and performance of staff. It will help improve airflow through the building, which along with the odd plant will help improve air quality in the office.

Another scenario where our rubbish removal service is required in for office premises or factory move. Whether this is an upscaling or downsizing the move provides a good opportunity to review what has been accumulated over the years and what really doesn't need keeping and therefore taking to the new premises. Clearly, there will be items which will need moving to your new premises and whether you would like us to do this do we will gladly assist but if you have hired an office removal company to move furniture and equipment and set this up at the new location we will happily focus on removal of waste and rubbish and co-ordinate this appropriately with your facilities team and office removal company. Communication and planning are key to ensure all parties work efficiently so that the sequencing means that no one is in each other's way and the flow out of items is smooth and constant. The other really important aspect in planning properly is to ensure the safety of both staff and employees of all companies. There will be a lot of heavy, bulk waste and furniture items being moved about so from a safety perspective parties need to be aware and wherever possible stay clear of the areas and pathways being used to move items.

The other scenario for an office clearance will surround the collapse of a company. Following going into administration the administrators will look to reclaim value from assets to pay back any debtors. There will be many furniture items that will be removed to take to an auction house for this purpose. Typically an itinerary list will be compiled by the administrators which we will work to. Items not listed for auction will most likely simply be seen as rubbish and will simply need disposing of. However, there may well be documentation and computer records that may have sensitive or information that will need removing. For documentation, confidential shredding will generally be the process to handle paper documentation. Again this is something we can coordinate as the removal of IT equipment: computers, laptops and servers to a computer data house that can wipe all disks and reset the computer equipment so it can also be sold on.

To speed up the process of quotations we deploy a quick remote process where you can simply send through images of the office items you want cleared This way we can see the amount of waste, type of waste and what will be involved in removing it and subsequently provide you with a quote. This saves time for all involved, not waiting around for a site visit and we all have a record of what needs to be removed, and as a result you can quickly decide to get your items removed. Much less hassle than trying to organise a skip!

Frequently Asked Office Clearance Questions

  • What will you take in an office clearance?

    In short, SD Cardiff House Clearance  will be able to take everything to take virtually everything from an office. We have a network of contacts in local charities and the knowledge to responsibly dispose of, recycle or sell any unwanted items from a property. The only exception to this would be if hazardous items have been identified in the property. Then depending on what the hazard is a specialist company may need to deal with the hazardous items. Some house clearance companies will have staff trained to deal with certain potential contaminants or hazardous items and have the processes, procedures and equipment to deal with the issue properly. Examples may be sharps such as drug needles or certain corrosive chemicals which may have been used illegally in a home or legally in a commercial or factory environment.

  • How much does an office clearance cost?

    This will depend on a number of factors. Obviously, a major factor is the total amount of items that need to be cleared and what those items are. Will one or two-man teams need to be used, does special equipment need to be used to move items out or even dismantle them first? Will the size and shape of the items require more trips to be taken to remove all the items? Another key factor determining costs will depend on what the owners of the items may want to happen to the items. Segregating waste will take additional time and resources. So, if some items are to be disposed of, whilst others are to be recycled and others are to be sent to a charitable organisation or auction house, these different waste streams with different handling processes will add to the overall cost although some of these costs could be recouped if for example a good sale price can be achieved for items sent to auction. 


    To save time and factoring in additional costs to visit the property many house clearance companies such as ourselves will ask for photos of the items to be cleared, whether this is rubbish already bagged, garden waste or a hoarded house so that an assessment can be made and a price given.


    Unfortunately, the industry has been hit by people and organisations ‘adding’ items for disposal, after the initial site visit and subsequent quotation. As a result most house clearance companies, including ourselves, will ask for photographs of the waste to be cleared, from which a quote will be given.  This photographic evidence acts as a way to avoid any potential disputes on quotations and costs for both parties. 

  • What are the payment terms pays for a office clearance?

    We accept full payment upon completion as signed off by yourselves. 

  • Why choose an office clearance service over a skip?

    There are probably two main advantages an office clearance company has over a skip company. Firstly for houses that have limited front space where a skip could be placed this will mean applying for a skip permit, sometimes known as a skip license if the skip is to be located on a public road from your local council. Without a permit you would be breaking the law and running the risk of being fined, most reputable skip companies themselves would also be reluctant to leave one of their skips on a public road without a permit. A number of skip companies will sort this out on your behalf but some councils will want the homeowner to pay the council directly. Cost for these permits ran across the country with some councils charging just over £20 whilst others, often London districts will be nearer £70. Cardiff Council charges:


    £38.87 – Per skip for a 7 day licence

    £77.74 – Per skip for a 28 day licence

    As well as the cost you will have to wait a few days for the council to issue the permit – sometimes longer depending on the efficiency of the council in processing these requests. None of this is required for a rubbish removal service from a house clearance company. As a result, a house clearance with a professional team using a van for rubbish removal will cost less overall and mean that your rubbish can be removed very quickly at short notice.


    The other advantage house clearance has over a skip, is that a rubbish removal company can segregate the waste whilst loading it up. Therefore much more of the waste can be recycled which is a much more responsible way of disposing of your rubbish.

  • Where do you take office clearance items collected?

    Items from a house clearance typically end up in one, or several of the following places:


    - Recycling centres/specialist recycling locations such as scrap yards

    - Auction houses

    - Charities


    Typically when the above has been exhausted we will then use rubbish tips

    SD Cardiff House Clearance local teams have appropriate local contacts in each one of these areas to ensure waste items are managed responsibly.
