Office Clearance Glasgow

Office clearance services across Glasgow

Most clients contact us at a point of change: a lease is ending, a team is moving to a new office, a floor is being refurbished, or a business is closing and the premises have to be handed back empty. Our clearance service covers all of it, from an ad-hoc uplift of a dozen office desks to a full commercial clearance over several floors. We remove all of the following:

• Office desks, task chairs, boardroom tables, cupboards and filing cabinets
• Shelves, storage units, partitions and reception areas
• Secure removal of IT and electronic equipment, including monitors, printers and servers
• Kitchen and breakout furniture, white goods and electrical equipment
• Old office paperwork, confidential files and general waste
• Furniture dismantling

We work across Glasgow city centre, the Merchant City, Blythswood and the Broomielaw, out to Hillington, Clyde Gateway and the business parks on the edge of the city, and we cover the rest of Scotland from the same Glasgow base.

Minimal disruption to your working day

An office clearance should not disrupt your day to day business.  We plan the job around your timeline, agree a workable plan of action, and can work evenings or weekends where a building has restricted loading access or a shared lift. Our aim is to keep operational downtime and disruption to a minimum, and to leave the space clear for the next stage.

Lease exits, dilapidations and landlords

When you are handing premises back, we work to your dilapidations schedule and coordinate with landlords, surveyors and fit-out contractors so the space is returned in the agreed condition. That usually means stripping out furniture, signage and cabling, lifting floor coverings and clearing everything that was added during the tenancy. Getting that right protects your deposit and keeps the exit on schedule, and it is the part of an office transition most businesses underestimate.

How to prepare your office for clearance day

Decide what is moving with you and label it, so it's clear to the truck team what stays and what goes. Clear personal items and anything confidential from desks and cupboards. If appropriate, let reception and building management know the date of the clearance. That is usually enough to streamline the job and keep it running to schedule. 

What happens to your old office furniture

Reusable office furniture is often donated to local charities to ensure it gets a second life rather than being broken down into components for recycling. Everything else is segregated at our depot for recycling: metals, wood, plastics and cardboard are separated, electronic waste is handled in accordance with WEEE regulations, and only the residue reaches landfill. On completion of works you receive job report along with your Waste Transfer Note.

Jettison is a SEPA registered upper tier waste carrier and is fully insured with robust public and employer liability cover. Recycling and responsible disposal is not optional at Jettison, it is how every single load is processed. For eco-conscious Scottish businesses with reporting obligations, the paperwork matters as much as the clearance itself. Jettison offer a straightforward way of reducing environmental impact at the end of a tenancy.

How much does an office clearance cost in Glasgow?

We price per job, based on volume, access and how much dismantling is involved, rather than an hourly rate that climbs through the day. Send a list or a few photographs along with your requirements and we will provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. 

How the booking works

1. Tell us what needs to go, the address and your deadline. Sometimes we can quote from photos but for larger jobs, we're always happy to pop out and take a look. 
2. We confirm a price and a date, agree access logistics and then we get on with the job.
3. Our crew clears the space safely and efficiently, dismantling as needed whilst protecting lifts and floors.
4. On completion you'll receive a waste transfer note, your invoice and a job report. 

To get started, get in touch to discuss your requirements and we will arrange a free quote, usually the same day.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical office clearance take?

A small office is normally a single day. A full floor of a city centre building takes two to three days depending on lift access, and we will give you the timeline with the quote.

Are you licensed and insured for office waste removal?

Yes. We are registered with SEPA as an upper tier waste carrier and carry full public and employer liability insurance. Every clearance comes with a waste transfer note.

How do you handle electronic waste from offices?

IT and electrical equipment is removed separately and processed under WEEE rules. Where you need data bearing equipment destroyed, tell us at quote stage and we will arrange it.

Do you have to clear your office at the end of a lease?

Almost always, yes. Most commercial leases require the premises to be returned empty and in the condition set out in the dilapidations schedule, which is why we recommend booking the clearance well before the exit date.

Can we get a free quote for office rubbish removal in Glasgow?

Yes, all you have to do is call 0333 880 6800 or send the details through the contact form to discuss your needs and we will price it.

Do you clear anything other than offices?

We do. The same crews handle commercial clearance of retail units, warehouses and industrial premises, soft strip work, and house clearance for residential clients across Glasgow.
