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
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. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
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. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in CR0, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 11,026 households inside the CR0 neighbourhood in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
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.

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
