Super helpful! I sent a message on WhatsApp on the weekend and got a reply the same day with a price. They came and collected 2 days later and all was left clean and tidy. Really efficient. Would highly recommend.
A Star customer, Customer 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 Rustington: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape strip-outs jobs in Rustington.
Local businesses
Rustington's village shops, cafés and care homes, and the small business units nearby, use us for shop clearances, furniture removal and general commercial waste. Care homes often need old beds, mattresses and furniture removed when rooms are refurbished.
Building and renovation
Many Rustington bungalows are being extended, or having new kitchens, bathrooms or loft rooms added. We remove the builders waste and old fittings quickly, often loading straight from the drive.
Parking and access
Most roads in Rustington have easy on-street parking and many properties have drives, so access is rarely a problem. The Street and the roads near the seafront can be busy at peak times, so we plan our arrival accordingly.
Conservation areas and period homes
The old part of Rustington around the church has flint cottages and historic walls, some within a conservation area. We take extra care with narrow access and older buildings there.
What we take in Rustington
Every strip-outs job in Rustington 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.

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

Rustington is served by Arun District Council for bins, bulky waste collections and garden waste subscriptions, with county council recycling centres for self-delivery. For the bigger jobs, particularly whole-house clearances, one visit from us saves many 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.

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.
