The first pedestrian town centre in Britain, and what that costs you

Stevenage town centre was the first purpose-built traffic-free shopping precinct in the country, modelled on the Lijnbaan in Rotterdam and built on a scale nothing in Europe matched at the time. It is a genuinely important piece of post-war planning and it is also, for a strip out, the single hardest constraint we deal with anywhere on our patch.

Traffic-free means exactly that. There is no pulling up outside the shopfront, so a shopfit comes out to a service area or a loading bay and everything travels the last stretch by hand or on a barrow. It is entirely doable and it takes longer, so we would rather price it properly than discover it on the morning. The industrial units on the edges of the town are the ordinary loading-door version by comparison.

Three fields, all short. It comes straight to us and we come back to you with a written price. Nothing is shared with anyone else.

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 Stevenage takes in

What a commercial job runs into around the precinct and Caxton Way, and where each ends.

Get a price for this
  • Soft strip out. Stripped to shell, partitions and ceiling grid down, floor boxes and kitchens out, floor swept. In the precinct the service access decides the hours more than the work does.
  • Renovation clearance. Taken away as the work runs rather than after it, which in a pedestrian precinct is not optional: there is nowhere to stack anything.
  • Outbuilding clearance and demolition. A garage, store or outbuilding demolished and cleared. Bringing it down is quoted separately from emptying it.
  • Construction site clearance and strip out. Cleared during the build, stripped before it starts. The first question on a precinct job is what the service access allows and when.
  • Land clearing. Yards, plots and access ways cleared of tipping and overgrowth, then left level and usable.

No ePass for a business, and no exceptions

The recycling centre on Caxton Way is a household site. Hertfordshire County Council does not accept business waste at any of its recycling centres, and a registered business address cannot hold an ePass in the first place, so there is no route in even before the gate.

The county council's own terms put businesses, charities and other organisations in the same excluded sentence, which is worth knowing if you run a charity shop in the precinct and had assumed you would be treated differently.

So a commercial clearance from Stevenage 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 beforehand.

I've used this service twice to collect bulky rubbish from my front garden and they've been fantastic both times. Very quick service, take very bulky items and very quick turnaround. Definitely recommend.

Questions we get asked about this

Ask us something else
How do you get a shopfit out of the pedestrian precinct?

Through the service access, and the last stretch by hand or barrow. It is normal here and it is in the quote rather than added afterwards.

Can you work overnight in the town centre?

Usually that is the plan. Tell us what the centre's access hours allow and we quote for that window.

We are a charity shop. Can we use the council tip?

No. Charities are named alongside businesses in the county council's exclusion, so it goes to a transfer station like any other trade waste.
