How We Work
Sixtowns Waste supports developers, landlords, property managers and contractors with professional strip outs, site clearances and house clearances across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire.
We prepare properties, buildings and sites for refurbishment, redevelopment and construction, giving follow-on trades a clean, safe and workable space to start from.
From back-to-brick strip outs to full site clearances, our focus is simple.
Clear scope. Good communication. Controlled delivery.
Preparing Sites and Buildings for the Next Stage
Before any refurbishment or construction project can move forward, the site needs to be properly cleared, stripped and prepared.
That might mean removing internal walls, kitchens, bathrooms and ceilings from a property before refurbishment.
It might mean clearing waste, vegetation, old materials or structures from a site before groundworks begin.
Or it might mean emptying a property so landlords, housing providers or developers can assess what needs doing next.
This early stage matters.
When a building or site is not properly cleared, follow-on trades can be delayed, hidden issues can be missed and costs can quickly increase.
Our role is to get the site ready, so the next stage of work can begin with fewer delays and fewer surprises.
Our Core Services
Strip Outs
We carry out residential and commercial strip outs for developers, landlords, contractors and property professionals.
Our strip out work helps prepare buildings for refurbishment, redevelopment, fit-out or change of use.
Typical strip out works can include:
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Fixtures and fittings
- Internal doors and wardrobes
- Floor coverings
- Partition walls
- Ceilings
- Redundant materials
- General waste from the property
Whether the project needs a light internal strip out or a more detailed back-to-brick package, we work to the agreed scope and leave the space ready for the next trade.
Site Clearances
We provide site clearance services for construction, refurbishment, commercial and development projects.
Our team clears external areas, yards, gardens, compounds, buildings and accumulated waste so sites can be used safely and efficiently.
Typical site clearance work can include:
- Clearing construction waste
- Removing old materials
- Clearing gardens, yards and external areas
- Removing timber, rubble, scrap and general waste
- Light demolition where required
- Preparing land or property for the next stage
We regularly support developers, schools, manufacturers, landlords and contractors who need a site cleared properly before works can continue.
House Clearances
We provide house clearances for landlords, property investors, housing providers, probate professionals and property managers.
These are often required before a property can be refurbished, sold, re-let or handed over to contractors.
Our house clearance service can include:
- Loose furniture
- Appliances
- General household waste
- Floor coverings
- Garden waste
- Damaged materials
- Waste left by previous occupants
Once the property is cleared, it becomes much easier to inspect, plan and begin the next stage of work.
Soft Strip Demolition
Soft strip demolition is the controlled removal of non-structural elements from a building before refurbishment, redevelopment or demolition.
This can include removing internal finishes, fixtures, fittings, partitions, ceilings and other materials while leaving the main structure in place.
Soft strip works are often needed on:
- Residential refurbishment projects
- Commercial buildings
- Schools and public buildings
- Offices and retail units
- Void properties
- Buildings being prepared for redevelopment
A controlled soft strip helps expose the building properly, giving contractors and developers a clearer understanding of the structure before the next stage begins.
Who We Work With
We work with clients who need reliable support at the start of a project.
This includes:
- Developers preparing properties or sites for refurbishment
- Main contractors needing strip out and clearance support
- Property investors refurbishing houses or commercial buildings
- Landlords turning around rental properties
- Housing providers managing voids and planned works
- Fit-out companies needing areas stripped before installation
- Schools and commercial property owners preparing sites for improvement works
Our work usually takes place before the main construction, refurbishment or fit-out phase begins.
That means planning, communication and site control are just as important as the clearance itself.
Why Early Stage Clearance Matters
A well managed strip out or site clearance gives the rest of the project a better starting point.
It helps clients:
- Understand the true condition of the property or site
- Improve access for follow-on trades
- Remove waste and unwanted materials early
- Identify hidden issues before they become bigger problems
- Keep refurbishment and construction programmes moving
- Reduce disruption during later stages of work
On refurbishment projects, the real condition of a building is often only visible once it has been cleared and stripped back.
That is why this stage should not be treated as an afterthought.
A Controlled Approach to Every Project
Every project is different.
Some sites are straightforward. Others involve restricted access, live environments, unknown materials, hazardous waste, tight programmes or changes to the original scope.
We plan each job around the site, the client’s priorities and the work that follows.
Our approach includes:
- Reviewing the scope before works begin
- Understanding access and site constraints
- Agreeing what is being removed and what is staying
- Separating waste where practical
- Managing materials responsibly
- Communicating clearly throughout
- Handing the site back ready for the next stage
This helps avoid confusion, keeps the job organised and gives clients confidence that the work is being managed properly.
Waste Management and Compliance
Although our focus is strip outs and site clearances, responsible waste management remains at the core of what we do.
Waste is separated where practical and taken to licensed waste transfer stations.
Where hazardous waste is identified, we help manage the correct process so materials are handled safely and compliantly.
This can include items such as:
- Asbestos-containing materials
- Paints, oils and chemicals
- Gas cylinders
- Electrical waste
- Contaminated or unidentified materials
Our aim is to complete the work properly, not just quickly.
