THE BRIEF

Clearing an entire working office, not just a few desks.

When Lupton Fawcett vacated its former Sheffield premises in 2024, Ravenhill Clearance Services undertook the removal of the office furniture and equipment left behind. The project covered a substantial open-plan workspace together with the reception, private offices and boardroom.

Whole floorOpen-plan desks and furniture

Multiple roomsReception, side offices and boardroom

Lift accessFrom office floor to car-park vans

0 to landfillFurniture and IT moved onwards

What we cleared

Rows of workstations, office desks, task chairs, drawers, cabinets, storage units, meeting tables, the reception desk, computers and other IT equipment. Items were identified and moved through the building as part of a coordinated clearance.

How we handled access

With the working areas above the vehicle parking level, the team transported the office contents down in the lifts, then loaded the vans waiting outside in the car park. The aim was an organised route from each room to the vehicles.

What happened afterwards

All furniture and IT equipment was moved on rather than sent to landfill. The after photographs show the main office and smaller rooms emptied following the operation.

PROJECT SCOPE

Every room. Every item. One coordinated clearance.

From reception-facing furniture to hundreds of individual items across the main workspace and meeting rooms, the project involved much more than a straightforward furniture collection.

01

Open-plan offices

Office desks, partitioned workstations, pedestal drawers, shelving, chairs and miscellaneous furniture.

02

Reception and meeting rooms

The reception desk, boardroom and meeting tables, visitor seating and associated contents.

03

Private offices and IT

Smaller rooms, computers, screens and office equipment, along with remaining storage furniture.

04

Removal and onward movement

Items moved via the building lifts, loaded into waiting vehicles and routed onwards rather than to landfill.

RESPONSIBLE ONWARD MOVEMENT

All contents moved on. Nothing sent to landfill.

One of the defining features of this project was what happened to the items after leaving the building. All furniture and IT equipment was moved on rather than sent to landfill, as part of the agreed clearance operation.

For commercial customers, this is a reminder that a full office closure can be managed with attention to the destination of usable furniture and equipment, as well as the physical work of clearing the premises.

IT equipment handling and any data-security arrangements should always be agreed separately before a clearance. This project summary does not claim a particular data-erasure or certification service.
