How Scrap Offsets the Cost
The metal we recover during your factory clearance service is weighed on calibrated scales and valued based on current scrap rates. That value is then:
- Deducted from your service invoice
- or Paid directly to you by instant bank transfer
Either way, your strip-out costs go down — and your environmental impact goes up (in the best way).

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a factory strip-out and a demolition?
A strip-out involves removing non-structural elements like fittings, fixtures, and metalwork. Demolition goes further, taking down walls, concrete, and structural components. We do both.
Do I need to sort the metal before you come?
No, our team handles sorting, dismantling, and transport. You can leave everything in place, and we’ll take care of the rest.
How do you calculate scrap value?
We use certified digital scales and pay according to daily market rates. All payments are made via secure bank transfer with ID.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including weekends and after-hours strip-outs to suit business handovers or lease deadlines.
