Site Clearance Services UK – W & S Hire Ltd | Soft Strip Out & Demolition Contractors
At W & S Hire Ltd, we provide comprehensive site clearance services as part of our enabling works package, helping prepare land for construction, redevelopment, or further demolition. Whether you’re clearing a brownfield site, removing invasive vegetation, or dealing with fly-tipped waste, our experienced team is equipped to handle every challenge efficiently, safely, and in full regulatory compliance.
From small urban plots to complex industrial sites, site clearance is the first step toward a successful construction project—and getting it right lays the foundation for everything that follows.
What Is Site Clearance?
Site clearance is the process of removing physical obstacles from a site to make way for future construction or development. This typically includes:
- Vegetation and shrubland removal
- Tree felling and stump extraction
- Removal of invasive species (e.g. Japanese Knotweed)
- Excavation and levelling of ground
- Removal of waste, debris, and existing surface materials
- Dismantling old garden structures or outbuildings
- Uplifting concrete, tarmac, and hard standings
- Steel cutting and hardcore crushing
This phase is typically part of the wider enabling works package, which may also include demolition, soil remediation, and utility diversions.
A properly cleared site ensures safety, compliance, and efficiency for all future development stages. Our expert team at W & S Hire Ltd works with developers, contractors, and local authorities to ensure projects begin with a clean, level, and compliant foundation.
