Strip-outs Chichester
Local strip-outs in Chichester
We remove fixtures, fittings, flooring and non-structural partitions from commercial and residential spaces, and take all the waste away.
Strip-outs in Chichester are planned and carried out by the same team that removes the waste. Chichester is about twenty miles west of our Worthing base along the A27, around forty minutes by road, so we book Chichester work in planned slots. We work on shops, offices, warehouses and homes across Chichester city centre, Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Donnington.
Whether you are handing back a Chichester unit at the end of a lease or preparing a space for a refit, we remove fixtures, fittings and flooring and leave it clear and swept, with a waste transfer note for your records.
Arranged via WhatsApp, great pricing and all rubbish cleared professionally and efficiently. Staff were friendly and polite. Highly recommended, much cheaper than getting a skip and loading it yourself.
Alan, Google review
We carry out strip-outs for shops, offices, warehouses, garages and homes across Sussex. We do the removal work and the waste clearance together, so there is one team, one price and one set of arrangements to manage. The site is left clear, swept and ready for the next trade.

Local knowledge
Strip-outs in Chichester: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape strip-outs jobs in Chichester.
Local businesses
The city's shops, offices and hospitality businesses, and the industrial estates on the edge of the city, generate commercial clearances ranging from shop refits and office moves to warehouse clear-outs. We provide the waste transfer paperwork businesses need.
Building and renovation
Renovation of period homes in the city and extension work in the suburbs mean a steady flow of builders waste, plasterboard and rubble. A van collection avoids the need for a skip permit on narrow city streets.
Parking and access
The city centre inside the walls has narrow streets, limited parking and pedestrianised areas around the Market Cross, and residents' permit zones cover many nearby roads. We plan access before the day and choose a legal loading point as close to your door as possible.
Conservation areas and period homes
Chichester city centre is a conservation area with a large number of listed buildings. We take great care with historic staircases, doorways, floors and walls, and work considerately in narrow streets.
What we take in Chichester
Every strip-outs job in Chichester is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Shop fittingsCounters, shelving, gondolas and displays.
Office partitionsNon-structural stud and glazed partitions.
Suspended ceilingsTiles and grid.

Specialist services
Specialist strip-outs services in Chichester
As part of our strip-outs service in Chichester, we also provide:
Shop & retail strip-outs
A retail strip-out removes the fittings and finishes that made a shop yours: counters, shelving, gondolas, display units, signage, flooring, ceiling tiles and back-of-house fittings. We do it quickly, so that the unit can be refitted or handed back on time.
Warehouses accumulate waste quietly: broken pallets, stretch wrap, cardboard, obsolete stock, damaged racking and old equipment. Before a move, a lease end or a reorganisation, it all needs clearing.
Converting a garage into a room, office, gym or annexe is one of the most popular home improvements. Before the builders arrive, the garage needs to be stripped back: contents out, shelving and workbenches removed, old fittings taken down and the floor cleared.
Lifting old carpet is a dusty, heavy job, and the waste is bulky. We lift carpets, underlay and gripper rods, remove staples, roll and cut everything for loading, and take it away, leaving the floor ready for your new flooring.
Commercial leases often require the tenant to remove their fit-out and return the premises to the condition set out in the lease when they leave. If that is not done, the landlord can make a dilapidations claim. A well-planned strip-out before handover can save a lot of money and dispute.
Tell us what the lease or landlord requires, and we will plan the strip-out around it, removing your fixtures, fittings and flooring and leaving the unit clear.
What a soft strip includes
A typical soft strip includes shelving, racking, counters and display fittings; stud partitions and suspended ceiling tiles; carpet, carpet tiles, vinyl and underlay; kitchens, toilets and basins; signage; and general waste and old stock. Structural elements, services and anything involving asbestos are outside the scope of a soft strip and need the appropriate specialists.
Before we start, we agree exactly what is being removed and what is staying, and we make sure utilities have been isolated where necessary.
How strip-outs in Chichester works
Chichester is about twenty miles west of our Worthing base along the A27, around forty minutes by road, so we book Chichester work in planned slots. Here is how a typical strip-outs job in Chichester works:
1
Send us photos
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
2
Get a clear price
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3

4
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price of strip-outs in Chichester
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Size of the space
Square footage and number of rooms.
Scope
How much is being removed.
Materials
Plasterboard and mixed waste have different disposal costs.
Access and timing
Out-of-hours work and restricted access take longer.
Duration
Larger strip-outs may run over several days.
How to prepare
Confirm what the lease or landlord requires on handover.
Arrange isolation of electrics, water and gas where needed.
Check whether an asbestos survey exists for the building.
Tell us about access, working hours, loading bays and parking.
Remove confidential documents and data-bearing IT equipment.
Label anything that is staying or being reused.
Responsible disposal
Where your Chichester waste goes
Strip-out waste is separated into metal, timber, plasterboard, cardboard, carpet and general waste, then taken to licensed facilities for recycling or disposal. A waste transfer note is provided for every commercial job.
Chichester District Council handles household bins, a chargeable bulky waste service and a garden waste subscription, and the county council runs the household waste recycling sites. For larger clearances, a single booked visit from us is often more practical than several trips.

Bit of a mix up with timings but once arrived the boys were quick, efficient and very thorough in their work. There was an awful lot of stuff in our garage that was not being used and we needed it clearing for selling our house.
AA Star customerCustomer review
Swift and efficient waste removal. Quick response from the team. Quoted the job from the photos I sent. They kept in communication with us, so we weren't hanging around. The guys worked quickly to clear the area, they were very professional. I highly recommend their service.
AA Star customerCustomer review
We have used this company a number of times. Very professional, I would highly recommend them. They are happy to go that extra mile with no hesitation.
AA Star customerCustomer review
Fantastic service I highly recommend them, took a shed down yesterday rang them last night they were here first thing this morning to take it away along with other garden waste. Highly competitive rates but they don't cut corners. They swept and tidied up after themselves as well, I'll definitely use A Star in all my future jobs. Thank you.

A Star Waste Management did a great job clearing a big pile of old decking from my garden. They were efficient, reasonably priced and the men were polite and respectful, and were mindful not to damage any of my plants. Would definitely use their service again.
Can you do an end-of-lease strip-out in Chichester?
Yes. Tell us what the lease requires and your handover date, and we will plan the strip-out of your Chichester unit around it.
Can you work out of hours in Chichester?
Yes, where the building allows, so that neighbouring businesses in Chichester are not disrupted.
Do you strip out kitchens and bathrooms in Chichester homes?
Yes. We remove old units, suites, tiles and flooring from Chichester homes ready for the fitters.
Do you really cover Chichester from Worthing?
Yes. Chichester is about forty minutes from our base along the A27. We schedule Chichester work into planned days, so you get a booked slot.
Is there a travel charge for Chichester?
Our quotes are all-inclusive. Because Chichester is further from our base, very small single-item jobs may not be the most economical option compared with the council's bulky waste service, and we will be upfront about that.
What is a soft strip?
The removal of non-structural items such as fittings, partitions, ceilings and flooring, leaving the building shell ready for refit.
Do you do structural demolition?
No. Our strip-outs are non-structural. Structural work needs an engineer and the appropriate contractor.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes, where access allows, so neighbouring businesses are not disrupted.
WhatsApp a few pictures of what needs to go and the route to the road. We reply with a clear, fixed quote, usually the same working day, and collections are often possible within a day or two.
