Commercial property here, and the two very different jobs it makes

Woodside Industrial Estate off Dunmow Road is the main commercial ground, and a strip out there is the straightforward kind: a loading door, a yard, and room to work. There is a steady flow of units changing hands and needing to go back to shell between tenants.

The other half is retail and office space inside the old centre, where the loading restrictions that make a house clearance awkward make a commercial one harder still. A shopfit coming out is a lot of material through a door onto a street where a vehicle cannot stand for long, so the job is planned around the hours rather than the volume.

Or send a photo, which is quicker

  • A photo tells us the load size straight away, so you get a real price instead of a range.
  • You are not asked to guess whether it is a half load or a full one. That is our job.
  • The price you are given is the price you pay, and it covers the labour and the disposal.
  • It goes straight to us, not to a call centre, and we are the ones who come back to you.

What office clearance in Bishop's Stortford takes in

What a commercial job here usually is, and where each stops.

Get a price for this
  • Soft strip out. Back to shell. Partitions, ceiling grid, floor boxes, fitted kitchens and storage out, floor swept end to end.
  • Renovation clearance. Taken away as the work runs rather than after it, which matters most where there is nowhere on the street to stack anything.
  • Outbuilding clearance and demolition. A derelict garage or outbuilding taken down and cleared. The structure coming down is a different job from emptying one.
  • Construction site clearance and strip out. Cleared while a build runs and stripped before one starts. Access and hours are the first two questions on any town-centre site.
  • Land clearing. Plots, yards and access ways cleared and left flat and usable.

The tip is on the industrial estate and will not take your waste

It is worth being blunt about this one, because the geography invites the wrong assumption. The recycling centre is on Woodside Industrial Estate, which is where a good share of the town's businesses are. It will not take anything from any of them.

Hertfordshire County Council does not accept business waste at its recycling centres, and the ePass terms say the same thing in plainer words: waste from businesses, charities or other organisations will not be accepted. A registered business address cannot hold an ePass at all.

So commercial clearance from this town goes to a transfer station. It is loaded, taken away and disposed of, and what can be recycled is recycled, with the load size and the figure agreed in writing first.

Questions we get asked about this

Ask us something else
Can you work before the shops open?

Yes, and on the restricted streets that is normally the plan rather than the exception. Tell us the window and the quote covers it.

Our unit is on Woodside. Can we not just use the tip there?

No. It is a household site and business waste is refused, whichever gate you arrive at and however close the unit is.

Do you take the racking and shopfittings as well?

Yes. The fittings coming out and going away is one job, not a strip out followed by a separate clearance.
