Clearance Support for Factories, Warehouses and Industrial Sites
K&S Scrap Metals works mainly with commercial and industrial customers that need reliable support with machinery removal, plant clearance, warehouse clearances and site strip-outs. We understand that these jobs may be linked to refurbishments, shutdowns, relocations, end-of-lease clearances, decommissioning work or changes in production.
What We Can Help Remove
We handle a wide range of metal-related items and clearance materials from industrial and commercial environments. The exact scope depends on the site, the equipment involved and access for removal.
Machinery
Redundant or outdated machinery can take up valuable floor space and may need to be removed as part of an upgrade, relocation or clearance project.
Plant Equipment
Plant-related equipment, metal components and industrial systems can often be cleared as part of wider works or site changes.
Factory Scrap and Metal Infrastructure
Factory clearances often generate mixed metal waste, structural items, production offcuts and clearance-related scrap that need collecting and processing properly.
Mixed Clearance Loads
Some jobs produce a combination of machinery sections, metal parts, fittings, cable waste and other industrial scrap materials. These can be assessed based on volume and type.

How Our Machinery and Factory Clearance Service Works
Tell us about the site and what needs removing
Let us know the type of machinery, equipment or scrap involved, the location, the scale of the clearance and whether there are any access restrictions.
We assess
the job requirements
We consider site access, loading arrangements, the type of materials involved and whether the work is a one-off removal or part of a wider clearance.
We arrange the clearance
A suitable plan is agreed based on the size of the job, the layout of the site and the practical requirements of removal and collection.
Material is removed and processed appropriately
Metal items and clearance-related scrap are collected and routed through the appropriate recycling process where applicable.
What Affects a Machinery or Factory Clearance?
Every clearance project is different. Before a job is arranged, it helps to understand the practical details that affect how the work will be carried out.
These can include:
- The size and weight of the machinery or items involved
- Whether equipment is loose, fixed in place or part of a larger setup
- Loading access and vehicle access on site
- Internal layout, door widths and working space
- Whether the job is part of a live site, shutdown or decommissioning project
- The amount of mixed metal waste and scrap generated during the clearance
Providing this information early helps us assess the job properly and organise the most suitable collection or removal approach.
