Who it's for

Built for offices in transition.

Whatever is behind the clearance, we handle the operational reality. Single-day works for most projects, multi-day for full strip-outs.

Office moving

Tenancy end or lease expiry. Out by Friday, with the paperwork done.

Office refurbishment

Strip-out before the fit-out crew arrives, on the programme.

Office downsizing

Hybrid working means less space and less furniture. We clear the surplus.

Closure or liquidation

Urgent, often confidential. We move fast and keep it discreet.

Tenant handback

Landlord deposit at risk, so a clean WTN is required. We provide it same day.

FM-managed clearance

Multiple sites, a single point of contact and consolidated records.

Why us

Why landlords and FM directors choose Capital Recycle.

Office clearance is a compliance job as much as a removal job. A man-and-van leaves the tenant exposed; a Licensed Waste Carrier does not.

01

Licensed Waste Carrier, protects your tenant deposit

Required for commercial premises clearance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Many ad-hoc man-and-van firms are not licensed, leaving the office tenant exposed to fly-tipping liability if waste is improperly disposed of.

02

WTN with every job, same day in your inbox

Required for landlord deposit return and lease handback compliance. Issued same day by email with full chain of custody.

03

Secure IT data destruction via a specialist partner

For IT equipment with stored data we route the wipe step via a specialist partner. A NIST 800-88 wipe certificate is issued per device or batch. We coordinate end-to-end, so you stay covered for ICO compliance on tenant exit.

04

POPs handling for upholstered furniture

Sofas, armchairs and office soft furnishings classed as POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) since 2022 require specialist disposal. We route them via our licensed disposal partner, with no specialist surcharge for standard volumes.

FAQ

Common questions about office clearance.

If your question isn't here, call 0207 101 4003 and we will answer it on the phone in plain English.

How quickly can you clear an office in London?
Same-day if booked before noon for sites in central London. Half load and full load clearances typically complete in 30 to 60 minutes on site. Multi-day strip-outs are scheduled around your fit-out timeline. If you have a deadline, a Friday move-out or a Monday handback, tell us at the call and we route the day around it.
Do you provide a Waste Transfer Note?
Yes, same-day by email. Required for landlord deposit return and ICO and lease compliance. Annual aggregate summaries on request for FM, ISO 14001, B Corp or planning files, no extra charge.
Can you handle confidential IT equipment with secure data destruction?
Yes. For IT equipment with stored data (hard drives, servers, laptops, devices) we route the secure data-destruction step via a specialist partner. They handle the wipe to NIST 800-88 standard and issue the certificate per device or per batch. We coordinate end-to-end: collection from your site, transit, wipe and recycle, certificate delivery back to you. WEEE-licensed disposal applies once data is destroyed. Mention IT data destruction at quote stage so we factor in the partner cost and timing.
What about POPs furniture (sofas, armchairs)?
Upholstered office furniture has been classed as POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) since end of 2022. We route them via our licensed disposal partner, included in the half load or full load price for standard volumes. If a job is heavily POPs-weighted (10 or more sofas, 50 or more chairs), we flag the disposal cost up front.
Can you load the office for us?
Yes. Our crew loads it for you (1 person) for +£40 + VAT (£48 inc. VAT). That brings a loaded half load to £200 + VAT and a loaded full load to £360 + VAT. Available next-day with 24h notice. For heavy items needing 2-person lifts, or larger jobs that would benefit from a second loader, call 0207 101 4003 for a bespoke quote.
Do you offer recycling reports for ESG or B Corp?
Yes, per-project recycling reports issued on request. Includes weight per stream, disposal partner type, landfill diversion percentage, and POPs and WEEE routing evidence. Useful for B Corp impact assessment, ISO 14001 EMS files, planning applications, and corporate sustainability reporting.
Do you do weekend or out-of-hours clearance?
Yes, Saturday, Sunday and out-of-hours collections available with 24 to 48h notice. Flat surcharge of +£100 + VAT on top of the load price (same fee on half or full load) to cover crew overtime. Common for tenant handbacks on a Friday to Sunday window or pre-Monday opening.
Can you handle partial clearances, just IT or just furniture?
Yes. A half load (£160) handles a single category (10 desks and chairs, or 5 fridges, or 50 IT towers and monitors). Useful if you are scaling back rather than fully closing. Tell us the scope at enquiry and we will quote the smallest cage that fits, no upselling.
What about archives and confidential paper?
Boxed paper and general office paper, yes, collected for confidential or general recycling. Shred volumes (5 or more banker boxes, security-required disposal) we collect for a specialist partner under a separate quote; certificate of destruction included. Do not mix shred-required documents with general waste.
Do you need access to a goods lift?
It helps but is not always required. For floor-level or single-floor clearances we work without. For 5 or more floors of furniture or IT, a working goods lift cuts the job time (and cost) significantly. Tell us the access situation at enquiry; we factor lift availability into the slot.
What if our site doesn't have service-area access?
We work street-side. Our vehicle parks on the kerb (or in an agreed loading bay) and the crew carries items out. Most central London buildings without service yards work this way. Permit-required suspensions (red routes, restricted zones) need 3 to 5 days notice or we work around them.
Can you handle multi-floor strip-outs over multiple days?
Yes, that is the full strip-out tier. Multiple full load visits across days, coordinated with your fit-out programme. We schedule daily windows that match the demolition contractor's plan. A per-project ESG report covers the whole job at handover.
What's a typical price for clearing a 5-person versus 50-person office?
5-person office (5 desks, 5 chairs, 2 cabinets, kitchen, IT): typically a half load at £160 + VAT, often loaded for you at +£40. 50-person office (25 desks, 50 chairs, 12 or more cabinets, server room, kitchen, soft furniture): typically 2 to 3 full loads at £320 each + VAT, scheduled over 1 to 2 days. Most quotes confirmed within an hour of photos.
Do you give written quotes for FM or procurement sign-off?
Yes. A written quote on company letterhead, including scope, price per load, surcharges (POPs, hazardous, out-of-hours), payment terms and the WTN deliverable. Ready for procurement upload to your e-tendering system. Most FM and procurement reviews accept within 24 to 48 hours.
Can you complete supplier-vetting forms for our FM framework?
Yes. We can complete supplier-vetting forms for a new framework within 5 to 10 working days. Ask at quote stage if your framework needs us approved before sign-off; we prioritise the paperwork. We hold an Upper Tier Waste Carrier licence (CBDU466346) and £5m public liability, the two items most framework forms ask for first.
Can you coordinate with our fit-out contractor?
Yes, we routinely work alongside fit-out GCs. Clear before, segregated removal during, snag-clearance after. Direct contact with the site manager, daily windows in the programme, RAMS shared as standard. We do not hold up the fit-out by under-resourcing the strip-out.
What documentation do you need from us to start?
Site address, contact name, access details (lift, parking, restricted hours), scope (photos help), preferred date. We provide the rest: insurance certificate, RAMS, WTN. For first-time customers we send a short Supplier Form back to capture VAT details, invoice address and payment terms.
Do you remove fixtures (partition walls, ceiling tiles, kitchenettes)?
Soft strip-out (kitchenettes, partition walls, ceiling tiles, carpet tiles, raised floor): yes, via Wait and Load. Hard strip-out (concrete blockwork, structural, M&E disconnection): out of scope, coordinate with your principal contractor. We handle whatever the fit-out crew strips and stacks for us.
