Full office strip-outs, dilapidations clearance, WEEE-compliant IT disposal and GDPR-safe archive shredding — delivered in one shift, with reuse before recycling before landfill, and all the paperwork your facilities team needs.
"Dreaded the dilapidations bill. They stripped the floor, donated most of the furniture to a local college and the surveyor signed it off on the first walk. Bill came in under our reserve."
Sealed uplift, shredded to DIN P-4, Certificate of Destruction returned.
"Compliance demanded a paper trail and they delivered — serialised manifest, sealed crates, cert of destruction. Our auditor didn't have a single follow-up question."
Sunday clear, building handed back Monday — clinical waste correctly segregated.
"Mixed clinical and general waste streams handled properly — that was my big worry. Donated the waiting-room furniture to a community charity which felt right."

The UK's most-recommended commercial clearance team.
Smart Move Removals clears offices, retail units, warehouses and industrial spaces of every size — from a 10-desk practice closing down to a 200-seat HQ moving out at lease-end. Every clearance is delivered by a directly-employed Smart Move crew with a named coordinator, a fixed-price proposal and the same family-run standards we built our reputation on.
Our entire model is reuse-first: charity donations and segregated recycling are routed before anything goes to disposal, with typical diversion of 90% or more — fully reported on the sustainability summary you receive with the paperwork.

How it works
A clear 5-step process.
Every step documented, every load reported. No per-tonne creep, no quiet trips to landfill, no surprises on the invoice.
01
Same-week site survey
A senior consultant attends site within 48 working hours to scope volumes, IT assets, archive sensitivity and access constraints.

You receive a written method, RAMS, Waste Carrier Licence, insurance certs and a fixed-price proposal — usually within 48 hours of the survey.
03
Reuse & disposal routing
We pre-book charity collections, WEEE downstream partners and shredding slots so segregation on the day is fast and accountable.
04
On-site clearance
Vetted crews strip the floor in one shift (or phased around your trading hours) — segregating, inventorying and loading to schedule.

Reuse-first by default — charity donations and refurb routes before recycling, before disposal.
"Stripped 80 workstations, 4 meeting rooms and a kitchen on a Saturday. Landlord walked in Monday and signed off the dilaps on the spot."

James O.
Chief Operating Officer
"Waste Transfer Notes, WEEE consignment notes and a sustainability report all in my inbox by the following Tuesday. Audit team were delighted."
Rachel B.
Office Manager
"Confidential archive uplift, shredding certs returned, IT wiped to spec. No drama, no surprises on the invoice. Will use again at the next lease event."
