Commercial clearance Brighton

Local commercial clearance in Brighton & Hove

One-off and regular clearances for offices, shops, warehouses, pubs, cafés and yards, with the paperwork your business needs.

Commercial waste clearance in Brighton & Hove is quick, flexible and fully documented. Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. We clear offices, shops, warehouses, pubs, cafés and yards across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park and Seven Dials.

Every Brighton & Hove business collection comes with a waste transfer note, and we can work out of hours so your trading is not interrupted.

Jordan organized his crew to come and clear a mountain of rubbish from my back garden. A well overdue clearance all soggy and disintegrated and included a dead rat within..yuk. The lads did an amazing job. They were polite and courteous and worked flat out in the pouring rain. I can highly recommend them and will be using them again. I probably won't leave it so long next time though!

We work with offices, retailers, cafés, pubs, restaurants, warehouses, workshops, care homes, schools, charities and property managers. We can work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends by arrangement, and we plan the job around your opening hours, loading access and building rules.

Local knowledge

Commercial clearance in Brighton & Hove: what we know locally

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape commercial clearance jobs in Brighton & Hove.

Flattened cardboard and boxes stacked outside a business back door

Local businesses

The city's shops, restaurants, offices and creative studios generate a lot of commercial waste, from shop refits in the North Laine to office moves near the station and back-of-house clear-outs in the hospitality trade. We provide waste transfer notes for every business collection.

Parking and access

Most of central Brighton and Hove is covered by controlled parking zones, and many streets are narrow, steep or one-way. We plan the loading point before we arrive, and in some cases we will ask you to arrange a visitor permit or parking suspension. It is one of the reasons we always want to see the route to the road when quoting.

Building and renovation

Renovation is constant in Brighton and Hove, from basement conversions to loft rooms and full townhouse refurbishments. Skips need a permit from the city council to go on the road and take up valuable parking, so a van collection of rubble, plasterboard and timber is often the easier route.

Conservation areas and period homes

Large parts of Brighton and Hove are conservation areas, with listed Regency squares and crescents in Kemptown, Brunswick and Adelaide. We take extra care with original staircases, railings and doorways, and work quietly and considerately in shared buildings.

The detail

Your duty of care as a business

Every business has a legal duty of care for the waste it produces. You must keep it safe, make sure it is only passed to an authorised carrier, and complete a waste transfer note describing it. You should keep waste transfer notes for at least two years.

We take care of the carrier side and the paperwork, so you have a clear record for every collection. If you are unsure what paperwork you need, ask us and we will explain.

Office clearances and moves

When a business moves, downsizes or refurbishes, there is often a lot of furniture and equipment that is not going to the new premises. We clear desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables, kitchen equipment and general office waste, and we can dismantle furniture on site.

IT equipment should have its data securely wiped or destroyed by a specialist before we collect it. We can then take it for WEEE recycling.

We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:

Volume and weight

The main factors.

Material mix

Some materials cost more to dispose of.

Timing

Out-of-hours work may affect the price.

Access

Frequency

How to prepare

  • Tell us the type and approximate volume of waste.
  • Confirm access times, loading bays and parking arrangements.
  • Remove confidential documents and wipe data from IT equipment.
  • Label anything that is staying.
  • Tell us if the work needs to be done out of hours.

Responsible disposal

Where your Brighton waste goes

Commercial waste is sorted into recyclable streams where possible and taken to licensed facilities. Every collection is recorded on a waste transfer note.

Brighton & Hove City Council offers a chargeable bulky waste collection and runs household waste recycling sites at Hollingdean and Wilson Avenue. These are fine for the occasional item. For multiple items, mixed rubbish or anything that needs carrying down several flights of stairs, a single visit from us is usually quicker and better value.
