Office Clearance London
Old desks, chairs, cabinets and IT to clear? We strip out and dispose of unwanted office furniture and equipment, working around your trading hours, with duty-of-care disposal — from £195.
Part loads from £195 • evenings & weekends available • WEEE and confidential waste handled correctly
Van Thats Quick provides fast, reliable office clearance across London — clearing out desks, chairs, cabinets, IT equipment and general office waste that a business no longer needs. Whether you are downsizing, refurbishing, closing a floor or handing back a unit at the end of a lease, we strip the space back to empty, load everything into the van, and dispose of it properly, so the space is ready to hand over or fit out again.
Not the same as office removals. If you are relocating a working office to new premises — desks, screens, filing and equipment moving with you to a new address — that is our office removals service. Office clearance is the opposite: it is for getting rid of and disposing of old furniture, IT and waste you are leaving behind, not for moving it. If you are not sure which you need, call us and we will point you the right way.
We clear the full range of office contents. Furniture: desks, pedestals and workstations, office chairs, filing cabinets and storage units, meeting and boardroom tables, reception furniture, shelving and partitioning. IT and electricals: monitors, PCs, laptops, printers, servers, cabling and other WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), all routed to the correct recycling stream rather than mixed in with general waste. We also take general office waste and cardboard, and can advise on secure handling of confidential paper — including referral to a shredding partner where a certificate of destruction is needed.
This service is used most by businesses downsizing or refurbishing an office, landlords and letting agents clearing a vacated unit before re-letting, companies closing down or relocating who have left old kit behind, end-of-lease dilapidations clear-outs, and coworking spaces or retail units being reset for a new fit-out. Whatever the reason for the clear-out, the job is the same: everything unwanted comes out, and the space is left clean and ready.
Duty of care and where your waste goes. Commercial waste has to be handled properly, with the right paperwork behind it. We take office waste to licensed transfer stations and recycling facilities, and we are always transparent about the process — we can explain how your waste was handled and where it went, for your own records and duty of care. WEEE is kept separate and routed to the correct electrical recycling stream, and usable furniture in good condition is directed to reuse or charity where suitable, rather than sent straight to landfill.
Ask us for the current insurance certificate, cover limits and exclusions that apply to your job before you book.
Pricing is based on how much space your clearance takes up in the van — the same load-based pricing we use for all commercial waste jobs. A part load starts from £195, a half load from £320, a three-quarter load from £405, and a full van load from £495. For larger jobs — a whole floor, a multi-room strip-out, or several vans' worth — send us photos or arrange a quick site visit and we will give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Getting an office cleared should not mean chasing a dozen different contractors for furniture, IT and waste separately. We handle all of it in one visit: dismantling where needed, carrying everything out, loading the van, and taking it away for recycling or reuse the same day wherever possible. To book, call 07400 640002, send photos on WhatsApp, or request a quote. And if you are moving to a new office rather than clearing an old one, see our office removals page instead.
Related services that often come up alongside an office clear-out include general commercial waste removal for ongoing collections, rubbish removal for smaller ad-hoc loads, furniture delivery if new furniture is arriving as the old is cleared, and our core man and van service for anything that does not fit neatly into a clearance job. Full pricing details for every service are on our pricing page.

Office clearance — your questions answered
How much does office clearance cost in London?
Pricing is by van load, from £195 for a part load up to £495 for a full van. Send photos or arrange a quick site visit and we will confirm a fixed price before we start.
Do you clear IT and electrical equipment (WEEE)?
Yes. Monitors, PCs, laptops, printers, servers and cabling are all taken as WEEE and routed to the correct electrical recycling stream, separate from general office waste.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes, we regularly work early mornings, evenings and weekends so a clear-out does not interrupt trading or disrupt staff during the working day.
Is my office waste disposed of legally?
Everything is taken to licensed transfer stations and recycling facilities. We are transparent about the process and can explain how your waste was handled and where it went, for your own records and duty of care.
What's the difference between office clearance and office removals?
Office clearance is for disposing of old furniture, IT and waste you are leaving behind. If you are moving a working office to a new premises instead, that's our office removals service.
Can you clear a whole floor or building?
Yes. Multi-van strip-outs covering a whole floor or building are quoted on a site visit or from photos, with a fixed price agreed before work starts.
What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 22 reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
