Two kinds of commercial property here, and they are nothing alike
Shire Hill Industrial Estate, off Thaxted Road, is the modern half: terraces of steel portal frame units with blockwork and profile cladding, a loading door and somewhere to put a vehicle. A strip out there is a straightforward day.
The other half is a shop or an office inside a listed building on a medieval street, and it is a different trade. With 355 listed buildings in the town, a fair share of the commercial premises are in one. Fixings come out of fabric that cannot be made good with filler, there is often no rear access at all, and what you are allowed to remove is a question for the building's consents rather than for us. We will strip what you have been given the go-ahead to strip, and we will say so plainly if we think something needs checking first.

- 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 Saffron Walden takes in
What a commercial job here usually is, and where each stops.
- Soft strip out. Back to shell. Partitions, ceiling grid, floor boxes, fitted kitchens and storage out, and the floor swept end to end.
- Renovation clearance. Taken away as the work runs rather than after it, which matters most on a street with nowhere to stack anything.
- Outbuilding clearance and demolition. A derelict outbuilding taken down and cleared. Out in the villages this is more common than in the town, and it 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 hoarding are the first questions on any site inside the conservation area.
- Land clearing. Plots, yards and access ways cleared and left flat and usable.
Where a commercial load from here actually goes
Not to Thaxted Road. The recycling centre a few minutes from Shire Hill takes household waste only, and commercial waste is not accepted there or at any other Essex County Council site.
It is worth being straight about what that means for a small business. There is no council route for your unit's clearance at all: the household service is not open to you and the gate will turn you away. A commercial load goes to a transfer station, and that is what it costs to do it properly.
So it is loaded, taken away and disposed of, and what can be recycled is recycled. You get the load size and the figure in writing before any of it starts.

Questions we get asked about this
The premises are listed. Can you still strip them out?
Yes, to whatever you have consent for. We work to the scope you give us and we will flag anything that looks like it needs checking before it comes out, rather than take it out and leave you with the problem.
Can you get a vehicle to a shop in the town centre?
Usually not to the door. It becomes a carry to the nearest place we can legally stand, generally before the shops open or after they close.
Do you clear the unit on Shire Hill as well as strip it?
Yes, and it is one job rather than two. Fittings, racking and rubbish all go on the same quote.
