Strip out waste removal for kitchens, bathrooms and shops

Strip out waste removal for everything left once the old kitchen, bathroom or shop fittings have come out. You or your fitters do the strip out, then we clear the waste so the new work can start on a clean floor.

What we take

What a strip out leaves behind

A refit fills a room twice: once with the old fittings coming out and again with the packaging from the new ones. We take both.

  • Kitchen carcasses, doors, worktops and old appliances
  • Baths, shower trays, basins, toilets and vanity units
  • Wall and floor tiles, plasterboard and stud timber
  • Shop counters, shelving, racking and display units
  • Ceiling tiles, flooring, carpet and underlay
  • Boxes, plastic wrap and offcuts from the new fit

We clear the waste after the strip out. If you also need the old fittings taken out, ask when you send your photos and we will tell you what we can do.

Shops and units

Commercial strip outs

When a shop or unit changes hands, the old fit has to be out before the new tenant's shopfitter arrives. That waste counts as commercial waste. Essex County Council recycling centres accept no business, trade or commercial waste (loveessex.org, read on 15 October 2026), and GOV.UK guidance says the business must check its carrier is registered and complete a waste transfer note for each load.

Tell us the access times for the unit and where the van can stop. We load from the front door, the service door or the yard, whichever gets the job done with least disruption.

Check first

Things to flag before we arrive

Older kitchens, bathrooms and shop units can hide materials that need special handling. Tell us if you have any of these and we will advise:

  • Asbestos, such as old floor tiles, panels or pipe lagging you are unsure about
  • Gas bottles from catering or heating
  • Chemicals and cleaning products left in the unit

How it runs

How a strip out clearance works

Timed to fit between the rip out and the new fit.

  1. 1

    Tell us the timing

    Let us know when the old fit will be out and when the next trade is due, along with photos of the room or unit.

  2. 2

    We price the clear

    From your photos we work out the load and come back to you with a price.

  3. 3

    Out and on the van

    We carry the old units, sanitary ware and boards out, taking care with door frames, stairs and any new work already in.

  4. 4

    Ready for the fitters

    The floor is swept so the next trade walks into a clear room.

Pricing

How a strip out clearance is priced

Strip out waste is bulky rather than dense. Kitchen carcasses and shop shelving take up a lot of the van but weigh little, while tiles and plaster are the opposite. We price from your photos, looking at the mix of materials, the amount, the floor it is on and the distance to the van.

Our rubbish removal prices page explains what makes a job cost more or less.

Questions

Strip out waste removal questions

Do you do the strip out itself?

+

This service is the clearance after the strip out. If you also need fittings taken out, ask when you send your photos and we will tell you what we can do.

Can you take an old kitchen in 1 load?

+

Often, yes, depending on its size and whether the worktops and appliances are going too. Send a photo of the pile and we will tell you how we would load it.

Do you clear shop units?

+

Yes. Counters, shelving, racking, flooring and the general mess from a shop strip out. Tell us the unit's access times and where we can park.

Is a waste transfer note needed for a shop strip out?

+

Yes. Waste from a business needs a waste transfer note for each load, and the business must check its carrier is registered, according to GOV.UK guidance. Our waste carrier number is CBDU525129, so you can check us first.

How do I get a price for strip out waste?

+

Send photos of the waste and the room or unit through the quote form, or call 07834 527 855. We price each job from what you send.
