Vacant Property Clearance

Before an unoccupied building can be secured, inspected, or re-let, it often needs to be cleared of rubbish, furniture, hazardous waste, or personal belongings. Marpol Security provides fast, thorough vacant property clearance across the UK – preparing your site for safety, compliance, and reuse.

Professional Clearance Services for Empty and Abandoned Buildings

We work with landlords, housing providers, estate managers and local authorities to remove all waste, hazards and obstructions from empty buildings and surrounding grounds.

What Does Property Clearance Involve?

Vacant properties can quickly become dumping grounds – from fly-tipped waste to leftover furniture, fixtures, and even biohazards. Our experienced clearance teams handle everything safely and discreetly, including:

Household furniture and white goods

Left-behind belongings and waste

Abandoned mattresses, fixtures, and carpets

Sharps, needles, and drug paraphernalia

Human or animal waste

Rubbish, rubble, and construction debris

Every clearance is followed by a deep clean and photographic evidence of the work carried out.

Additional Clearance Services

As part of our full clearance offering, we also provide:

Fly-Tipping Removal

Illegally dumped waste on or around your property poses serious health and environmental risks. We offer rapid, licensed removal of fly-tipped rubbish, helping you stay compliant and avoid enforcement penalties.

Pest Control

Rodents, insects, and birds often infest vacant sites. Our pest control teams carry out treatment, removal, and preventative measures to stop the problem from escalating.

Garden & Grounds Maintenance

Overgrown gardens and neglected grounds attract antisocial behaviour and create further risk. We clear and maintain outdoor areas to improve safety and restore visual standards.

Marpol Security is a registered waste carrier and adheres to all current environmental and health & safety legislation. We ensure:

  • Proper segregation and disposal of waste
  • Safe handling of sharps and biohazards
  • Responsible recycling wherever possible
  • Clear documentation and duty of care compliance

This protects your organisation from liability and supports ESG responsibilities.
