The Dangers of Factory Clearance (And Why Morecambe Metals Should Do It)

It’s important to clear your facilities when you move to other premises, when you require the site to be decommissioned or simply when you need to get rid of unwanted machinery.

One of the key services we offer here at Morecambe Metals is factory clearance, which means we can dismantle, clear and remove obsolete machinery from your premises – our service also includes a recycling solution, as we strive to do our best for the environment at all times.

But why is it better to let professionals do it instead of attempting to clear the premises yourself?

What is Factory Clearance?

Most facilities will have items that are simply too big or heavy to move by yourself, or machinery that needs to be dismantled and processed, for instance. In addition, restoring an area to its previous glory after a refurbishment means getting rid of a lot of junk, which needs to be safely disposed of so as not to pose any risk to people’s health or the planet’s.

The best course of action is to hire the service of professionals who are qualified to do this. So, boiled down to its simplest explanation, the process refers to the removal of unwanted materials and equipment from premises, be it a small trading estate, a large warehouse, advanced manufacturing facilities or heavy-duty utility sites.

Morecambe Metals specialise in a variety of tasks, from scrap metal removal and waste management to stripping interior fittings and plant machinery removal and transportation.

Why is Clearance Dangerous?

Clearing a factory means disposing of a wide range of items, most of them heavy and bulky. Whether you want to get rid of desks and chairs, electrical appliances, scrap metal or heavy machinery, the last thing you want is for you or your employees to get hurt in the process.

Sure, you can hire skips, trolleys or pallet trucks to help you carry anything heavy, but you’re still incurring renting costs and also require the manpower to perform the clearance – if your employees are not used to this type of work, not only can they get hurt, as mentioned, but it will also take them a long time to fully clear the facilities.

In addition, even if you are able to clear your own premises of all machinery and equipment, most business owners are not aware of what they should do with it all, including any waste or rubbish. What should you do with it all? After all, you can’t simply (and randomly) dump it all somewhere!
