Strip-outs Lancing

Local strip-outs in Lancing

We remove fixtures, fittings, flooring and non-structural partitions from commercial and residential spaces, and take all the waste away.

Strip-outs in Lancing are planned and carried out by the same team that removes the waste. Lancing is roughly three miles east of our Worthing base along the A259 coast road or the A27, usually a ten-minute drive. We work on shops, offices, warehouses and homes across North Lancing, South Lancing, Lancing village, Sompting and Cokeham.

Whether you are handing back a Lancing 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.

A Star are absolutely brilliant. Turn up when they say they will, are professional, friendly and helpful. And stick to their very reasonable quotes and would certainly use them in the future. Thank you A Star.

Chris J Simmo, 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 Lancing: what we know locally

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape strip-outs jobs in Lancing.

Office chairs, desks and filing cabinets grouped together for clearance

Local businesses

Lancing Business Park and the other industrial units in the town are home to trade suppliers, workshops and small manufacturers. We clear pallets, packaging, old racking, scrap metal and general commercial waste, and provide waste transfer notes for business customers.

Renovation timber offcuts, old doors and cabinet carcasses on a driveway

Building and renovation

Lancing's bungalows are popular for extensions and loft conversions, so we see a lot of building waste: rubble from knocked-through walls, old kitchen units, plasterboard, and hardcore from driveways being relaid. A tipper van means we can take heavy waste away without a skip sitting on your drive for a week.

Parking and access

Access in Lancing is generally straightforward. Most roads have on-street parking without permit schemes and many properties have drives. The narrower lanes of the old village in North Lancing and the roads near the beach can be tight on busy summer days, so we plan the time of our visit around that.

Specialist services

Specialist strip-outs services in Lancing

As part of our strip-outs service in Lancing, we also provide:

Retail unit with shelving and display fittings being stripped out

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.

Warehouse bay with racking, pallets and packaging ready for clearance

Warehouse strip-outs

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.

More about warehouse strip-outs →

Garage packed with shelving, boxes, a ladder and old household items before a clearance

Garage strip-outs

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.

Carpet uplift & removal

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.

The detail

End-of-lease strip-outs and dilapidations

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.

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.

What affects the price of strip-outs in Lancing

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 Lancing 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.

As in Worthing, residents are served by Adur & Worthing Councils for bins, bulky waste collections and the garden waste service, with county council recycling centres for self-delivered waste. We are the choice when you want it all done in one go without loading your own car.

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.

A 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.

A Star customerCustomer review

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.

A Star customerCustomer review

Really good service. Competitive price and left the site clear. I liked the good communication e.g. pictures of the finished job as I couldn't be at home as I was working. Great job and I would use them again.

A Star customerCustomer review

We used this company for the first time today, very responsive to messages and hard working guys. Cleared all rubbish we requested to be removed and we highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fast service, very reasonable price which saved us paying more for a skip! Will definitely be using them again.
