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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
What we take in Lancing
Every strip-outs job in Lancing 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.
FlooringCarpet, carpet tiles, vinyl and underlay.
Racking and shelvingWarehouse and stockroom.
Kitchens and toiletsUnits, sinks, basins and WCs.
SignageInternal and external, where safely accessible.
Old stock and packagingCleared and recycled where possible.
Office furnitureDesks, chairs and storage.
General wasteEverything left behind.
Needs a specialist or special handling
Structural workNeeds an engineer and the right contractor.
AsbestosNeeds a survey and licensed removal before any strip-out.
Live servicesElectrics, gas and water must be isolated by qualified trades.
Confidential documentsShould be shredded by a specialist before we clear.

Specialist strip-outs services in Lancing
As part of our strip-outs service in Lancing, 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.

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

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.
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
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
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.
AA 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.
Yes. Tell us what the lease requires and your handover date, and we will plan the strip-out of your Lancing unit around it.
Can you work out of hours in Lancing?
Yes, where the building allows, so that neighbouring businesses in Lancing are not disrupted.
Do you strip out kitchens and bathrooms in Lancing homes?
Yes. We remove old units, suites, tiles and flooring from Lancing homes ready for the fitters.
Do you charge extra to come to Lancing?
No. Lancing is a few minutes from our Worthing base, so there is no travel surcharge. The price depends on what we are taking, how heavy it is and how easy it is to reach.
Can you clear a bungalow in South Lancing in one day?
In most cases, yes. A typical two or three-bedroom bungalow clearance can usually be finished in a single visit, and larger properties may need a second van or a follow-up trip. We will tell you what to expect when we quote from your photos.
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.
