Office clearance chair buyback — we buy what's worth buying, recycle the rest.

Clearing 100–2,000 chairs from a UK office? We pay cash for the chairs that hold value (premium task chairs from Herman Miller, Steelcase, Vitra, Orangebox), and handle WEEE-compliant disposal for the rest. One pickup, one BACS, full ESG-ready paperwork.

The clearance problem: you have a fixed handover date, a mixed estate (mostly task chairs but a smattering of meeting / lounge / breakout seating), a finance team that wants a clean PO and a credit note, a risk team that wants insurance certificates, and a sustainability team that wants CO₂e figures for the annual report. We are built around handling all of that without forcing you to manage three suppliers.

What we buy vs what we recycle

Honest split — most clearances are 70% buyable, 30% recycle

We pay headline cash rates for premium task chairs (Aeron up to £180, Aeron Remastered £250, Embody £200, Leap V2 £100, Gesture £150, Vitra Soft Pad £300, Eames Lounge from £1,600). Anything functional but lower-spec — Orangebox Do, Steelcase Series 1/2, generic mesh task chairs — we will buy at quoted rates ranging £20–£60. Anything broken or below resale grade we will refurb if economic, recycle if not.

About 70% of a typical clearance lands in the buyback half. The remaining 30% — broken frames, ripped fabric beyond refurb, operator chairs, stacking conference chairs — goes through the licensed waste-route, with a waste transfer note issued and the destination facility named. Nothing fit for use sees a skip.

What lands in your inbox after collection

Workflow

From first call to BACS — the four stages

  1. 1. Photo quote (within the hour)

    WhatsApp or email a short walk-around video plus a count by chair model. Firm quote within 60 minutes for clearances up to 500 chairs; same day for larger jobs. The firm quote is what gets paid.

  2. 2. Site survey (optional, free)

    For clearances above 200 chairs or sites with awkward access (no goods lift, restricted dock, multiple floors), we send a project lead for a 30-minute walkaround. We scope routes, refine the quote, and confirm vehicle type. No fee, no commitment.

  3. 3. Collection (booked to your dates)

    One-day, two-day, or phased across a week. Single-point-of-contact with our project lead from arrival through to last pallet. We work around your handover deadline, not the other way round.

  4. 4. BACS within 3 working days

    BACS to your company bank, line-itemed by model. Compliance pack (waste transfer notes, ESG report, photo log) lands in your inbox within 5 working days of collection.

What clearance jobs actually look like

Clearance FAQ

Common clearance project questions

What's the typical job size you handle?

Our sweet spot is 100–2,000 chairs from a single site. We have done both ends — single-chair home-office pickups through to 4,500-chair multi-floor exits across two days. For projects above 2,000 chairs, we usually run the operation in phases co-ordinated with your project plan.

Do you handle the WEEE / waste transfer paperwork?

Yes. We are a registered waste carrier. For chairs we are not buying (heavily damaged frames etc.), we issue a waste transfer note that confirms whether the items have been refurbished, resold, or recycled — including the licensed end facility for any waste-route items. The full pack is included free with any clearance over 50 chairs.

Will the BACS go to my company, not to me personally?

Yes. We invoice your company entity, and BACS is paid to the company bank account. We can also issue a credit note to a parent group, or invoice a holding company on behalf of a subsidiary — flag whatever your finance team needs and we will set the paperwork up to match.

How does the project plan integration work?

You give us your handover dates, and we slot collection into the schedule. Common shapes: phased over a week (one floor a day), single big-bang collection on a Saturday, or staged across multiple sites in a portfolio exit. We work to your dates, not ours.

What goes into the ESG / sustainability report you provide?

Total chairs collected, brand/model breakdown, weight diverted from landfill (kg), estimated CO₂e avoided vs new production, % refurbished + resold vs recycled vs energy recovery. Ready to paste into your annual ESG report or the sustainability section of a tender response. Also useful for B-Corp, BREEAM, and SECR reporting.

Do you have insurance certificates I can share with our risk team?

Yes — public liability, employer's liability, motor fleet, professional indemnity. Certificates available on request, usually within an hour of asking. We are also happy to fill out supplier onboarding questionnaires and PQQs.

How quickly can a clearance be booked?

For 100+ chair clearances we typically book within 5 working days of agreeing the quote. Move-out clearances with fixed handover dates we can fast-track if needed; flag the date when you book and we will plan around it.

Will you collect non-chair office furniture too?

Chairs are our specialism, but we also handle desks, pedestals, storage, screens and meeting tables — one-day full clearances are routine. Tell us upfront and we will scope the broader job.

Why sell to us

Three reasons.
That's it.

We've spent fifteen years buying chairs and clearing offices for FM teams who needed it gone yesterday. We've sanded the friction off this process.
