Commercial IT & Electricals Decommissioning
Secure IT equipment removal, hard drive destruction and business site clearances across Devon and the South West
We provide practical commercial decommissioning services for businesses that are relocating, downsizing, refurbishing, clearing offices, or closing sites.
The focus is simple: remove redundant IT and electrical equipment, log assets where required, handle data-bearing devices securely, and ensure items are reused, recycled, or disposed of correctly.
Where hard drives, SSDs or other data-bearing devices are present, we can provide secure handling, data wiping, physical destruction, and evidence of destruction where required.
What We Do
Commercial Equipment Removal
We remove redundant IT and electrical equipment from business premises in a controlled and organised way.
This typically includes:
• Desktop computers and laptops
• Servers and networking equipment
• Monitors and peripherals
• Printers and office electricals
• Hard drives, SSDs and removable storage media
• Small electrical items, chargers and cabling
Hard Drive and Data-Bearing Device Destruction
We offer secure handling and destruction options for data-bearing devices, including hard drives, SSDs, laptops, desktop PCs, servers, phones, tablets and removable storage.
Depending on the equipment and the level of assurance required, this may include:
• Software wiping where suitable
• Physical destruction of hard drives and storage media
• Manual dismantling and platter cutting
• On-site destruction by arrangement
• Asset logging and photographic evidence
• Certificate of destruction where required
For hard drives, physical destruction may include opening the drive and cutting the internal platters into multiple pieces. This provides a practical destruction option for businesses that need clear evidence that data-bearing media has been rendered unusable.
For larger quantities, on-site destruction options can be discussed in advance.
Hard Drive Shredding* and Data Destruction
We provide secure hard drive shredding*, data destruction and physical media destruction for businesses, offices and commercial sites across Devon and the South West.
Data-bearing devices can be logged, handled separately from general equipment, and destroyed or wiped according to your requirements.
This may include:
• Hard drive shredding*
• HDD destruction
• SSD and storage media destruction
• Laptop, desktop and server drive removal
• Software wiping where suitable
• On-site destruction by arrangement
• Asset logging and photographic evidence
• Certificate of destruction where required
For hard drives, physical destruction may include dismantling the drive and cutting the internal platters into multiple pieces. SSDs and other storage media are handled separately using appropriate physical destruction methods.
*Our hard drive shredding service refers to hard drive storage platters being cut into multiple pieces.

Where required, we can record equipment during collection to support your internal asset tracking.
This can include:
• Basic item counts
• Serial number recording (where visible)
• Photographing loads
• Separation of key assets
On-Site Decommissioning

• Backup devices
• Storage media
Devices can be processed according to the agreed method, including wiping or physical destruction.

No. We provide light decommissioning focused on IT and electrical equipment removal only.
Can you work with office closures?
Yes. This service is designed for business closures, relocations, and site clearances.
Do you provide proof of disposal?
Yes. We can provide Waste Transfer Notes, asset logs, and data destruction certificates depending on the service agreed.

Yes. We can support both small and larger commercial clearance projects.
Do you offer hard drive shredding?
Yes. We offer hard drive shredding* and physical destruction for business data-bearing devices.
Our current hard drive shredding process is manual physical destruction. This can include opening the hard drive and cutting the internal platters into multiple pieces so the drive cannot be reused.
