Office Clearance
Big Man delivers professional, fully compliant office clearance services for businesses of all sizes across the UK. Whether you are relocating, refurbishing, downsizing, or closing a workspace, our experienced team clears offices efficiently while protecting your staff, premises, and legal responsibilities.
Office environments require careful handling, clear communication, and strict compliance. We remove furniture, equipment, and waste safely and discreetly, coordinating collections to minimise disruption. Your workspace is left clear, compliant, and ready for what comes next.
What Is Office Clearance?
Office clearance is the organised removal and lawful disposal of unwanted items from commercial office spaces. This can include desks, chairs, storage units, IT equipment, fixtures, and general business waste that cannot be handled through routine collections.
Unlike ad-hoc rubbish removal, office clearance involves planning, secure handling, and responsible disposal routes. Using a professional service ensures waste is managed correctly, documentation is provided, and environmental impact is reduced.

How Our Office Clearance Service Works
1. Initial Assessment
We assess the size of the office, volume of items, access requirements, and preferred timing. This ensures accurate planning and pricing.
2. Transparent Quotation
You receive a fixed, upfront quote with no hidden charges. Pricing is agreed before work begins.
3. Scheduled Clearance
We arrange collections around your operational needs, including out-of-hours or weekend options where required.
4. Safe Removal
Our trained team handles all lifting, dismantling if necessary, and careful movement through communal areas.
5. Legal Disposal & Records
Waste is transported by a licensed waste carrier to authorised facilities, with documentation provided to support Duty of Care.
Clear, Honest Pricing
Pricing for office clearance is based on:
- Volume and type of items
- Labour and dismantling required
- Access and floor level
- Timing and urgency
Our pricing is straightforward and transparent. You only pay for the work carried out, with no surprise fees for lifting, loading, or compliance paperwork.
Why Choose Professional Office Clearance?
Minimal Business Disruption
We plan clearances carefully to avoid interrupting staff or neighbouring businesses.
Safer Than DIY Clearance
Office furniture and equipment can be heavy and awkward. Our trained teams reduce injury and damage risks.
More Flexible Than Council Services
Council collections are not designed for commercial waste volumes. We provide tailored solutions for businesses.
More Practical Than Skip Hire
Skips require permits, space, and manual loading. We remove items directly from offices in one coordinated visit.
Legal Compliance & Duty of Care
Big Man operates fully within UK waste legislation. We are a licensed and insured waste carrier, ensuring every office clearance is handled lawfully.
Our service ensures:
- Compliant waste handling and transport
- Proper disposal at authorised facilities
- Waste Transfer Notes for audit trails
- Protection from fly-tipping and legal risk
Recycling-First Office Clearance
We prioritise reuse and recycling wherever possible. Office furniture, metals, electrical items, cardboard, and plastics are separated and processed through approved recycling streams.
This recycling-first approach reduces landfill use and helps businesses meet environmental responsibilities.
Experience, Training & Professional Standards
With years of experience clearing offices across multiple sectors, Big Man delivers dependable service backed by trained teams and robust procedures. All staff follow health and safety standards and maintain professional conduct on-site.
From small offices to multi-floor buildings, we apply the same high standards on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office clearance cost?
Costs depend on the size of the office, volume of items, access, and labour required. We provide fixed, upfront pricing with no hidden fees, making it easy to budget and plan commercial projects.
Do you offer same-day office clearance?
Same-day or next-day clearances are often available, subject to availability and access arrangements. This is useful for urgent relocations or lease deadlines. Early contact improves availability.
Is office clearance legally compliant?
Absolutely. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully within UK waste regulations. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, with documentation provided to meet Duty of Care obligations.
What happens to office items after clearance?
Items are sorted at licensed facilities. Reusable items may be diverted for reuse, recyclable materials are processed accordingly, and only non-recoverable waste is sent to landfill.
How does office clearance compare to council collections?
Council services are limited and unsuitable for most commercial waste. Our service is tailored, flexible, and includes full removal and compliance handling.
Is office clearance better than hiring a skip?
For offices, yes. Skips require permits and manual loading. We remove items directly from the workspace and manage disposal end to end.
