Office clearance: what to expect
Offices are cleared for many reasons: relocation, downsizing, a refit, the end of a lease or a business closing. Whatever the reason, the work usually has to happen to a deadline, without disrupting staff, and with confidential paperwork and data handled properly.
We clear offices, shops, showrooms and commercial units across Ipswich, from small suites in the town centre to multi-floor offices on the Waterfront and units on Ransomes Europark and Futura Park. Work can be done in the evening or at weekends, and phased floor by floor if part of the building is still in use.
Office furniture is often in good condition, so reuse comes first. Desks, chairs and storage can be passed on to charities, community groups and second-hand dealers. IT equipment goes for WEEE-compliant recycling, and paperwork is shredded to a recognised standard.
What an office clearance covers
Storage
Filing cabinets, cupboards, lockers and shelving.
IT equipment
Computers, monitors, printers and servers, recycled under WEEE rules.
Confidential paper
Secure shredding with a certificate of destruction. See confidential shredding.
Kitchen and break-out
Fridges, microwaves, tables and vending machines.
Strip-out
Partitions, carpets and fittings ahead of a refit. See strip-outs.
Planning an office clearance
Lease end obligations
Many commercial leases require the premises to be returned empty, and sometimes stripped back to shell. Check your dilapidations requirements early so the clearance covers everything.
Data security
Computers, phones and storage devices contain business and personal data. Data must be securely wiped or the drives destroyed, and you should keep certificates for UK GDPR records.
Paperwork
Archived files and confidential paperwork should be shredded rather than recycled loose. We provide locked consoles or bags and a certificate of destruction.
Reuse and reporting
Reusing furniture reduces waste and cost. We can provide a report of what was reused, recycled and disposed of for your sustainability records. See waste reports.
Working out of hours
If staff are still working, we clear in the evening, at weekends or floor by floor to avoid disruption.
