Strip-outs Worthing
Local strip-outs in Worthing
We remove fixtures, fittings, flooring and non-structural partitions from commercial and residential spaces, and take all the waste away.
Strip-outs in Worthing are planned and carried out by the same team that removes the waste. We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. We work on shops, offices, warehouses and homes across Worthing town centre, Broadwater, Tarring, West Tarring and Goring-by-Sea.
Whether you are handing back a Worthing 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.
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.
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 Worthing: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape strip-outs jobs in Worthing.
Local businesses
Worthing's shops, cafés and offices along Montague Street, Chapel Road and South Street, and the trade and industrial units around the edge of town, generate a steady stream of commercial clearances: shop refits, office moves, stock clear-outs and overflowing back-of-house bins. For businesses we provide the paperwork the duty of care requires so you can show where your waste went.
Building and renovation
There is a lot of renovation going on in Worthing's older housing stock. Kitchens and bathrooms are being refitted in 1930s semis, loft conversions are common in Goring and Tarring, and seafront flats are regularly updated. That produces plasterboard, tile rubble, old units and timber that need moving quickly so the trades can carry on.
Parking and access
Parking is the thing that most often slows a Worthing clearance. Much of the town centre and the streets near the seafront sit inside controlled parking zones with resident permit bays, and many terraces have no off-street space at all. We park as close as the rules allow, keep carry distances short, and if your road is permit-only we will talk through the best loading spot when we quote.
Conservation areas and period homes
Several parts of Worthing are conservation areas, including streets around Steyne Gardens, Park Crescent and the old village of West Tarring. If you are clearing a period property there, we take extra care with original features, narrow hallways and boundary walls while we carry things out.

Specialist strip-outs services in Worthing
As part of our strip-outs service in Worthing, 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 Worthing works
We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. Here is how a typical strip-outs job in Worthing 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

What affects the price of strip-outs in Worthing
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 Worthing 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.
Adur & Worthing Councils run a chargeable bulky waste collection and a paid garden waste bin service, and West Sussex County Council runs the household recycling centres. Those are good options for the odd item, but they come with waiting times, item limits and rules on vans and DIY waste. We are the alternative when you want everything gone in one visit, loaded for you, on a day that suits you.

Saw one of there trucks driving through Worthing, called the number today. Sent a picture of what we needed clear. They came back straight away with a price and were able to pick it all up on the same day. Really friendly team and great service. Will definitely be using this company again.

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.
