How it works
Step 1
DBS checks confirmed, visitor sign-in arranged and the holiday access window agreed with the site manager before a date is booked.
Step 2
Furniture, ICT and equipment logged room by room, including a keep, donate or dispose decision against each item.
Step 3
Computers, servers and networked equipment are logged and removed for certified destruction ahead of general furniture clearance.
Step 4
Rooms cleared in the agreed sequence so the site is ready before staff and pupils return for the new term.
Step 5
Data destruction certificates, transfer notes and photographs handed to the site manager for the school's own records.
Why choose us
Booked against the school holiday calendar, typically confirmed four to six weeks ahead for a full site clear; single classroom or office clears can be scheduled inside the working week outside term time. Sidcup (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Sidcup, cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
DBS-checked crews working to a signed safeguarding log, with certified data destruction for ICT equipment and a waste transfer note issued for every visit.
Two to four operatives for a single-building clear, scaling to two teams working in parallel where a full primary site has to be finished inside a two-week holiday window. Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays.
