Large-scale land clearance

Clearance planned around your project

Foundation Site Clearance provides commercial and industrial land clearance across Surrey, Hampshire, and Berkshire. We work with developers, contractors, landowners, and businesses to clear land safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

The basics

What is commercial and industrial land clearance?

Commercial and industrial land clearance is the process of preparing larger sites for development, redevelopment, or reuse. This can include clearing vegetation, removing old structures, breaking up hard surfaces, and clearing general site waste.

These projects are often bigger and more complex than domestic jobs. They need careful planning, the right equipment, and strict attention to safety and compliance.

Our commercial and industrial clearance service

A complete clearance service for commercial and industrial sites

We offer a complete clearance service for commercial and industrial sites, including:

Large-scale vegetation and tree clearance

Clearing trees, scrub, and overgrowth across large areas of land, ready for development or redevelopment.

Demolition of old structures

Removing old buildings, foundations, and pavements to leave a clear, level site.

Waste and debris removal

Clearing all site waste and debris, and disposing of it responsibly and legally.

Site preparation for development

Getting land ready for new builds, infrastructure, or commercial use.

Ongoing or phased clearance

Support for larger projects that need clearance work carried out in stages, alongside other site activities.

We can also carry out tree stump removal and wood chipping as part of a larger clearance project, keeping everything under one plan and one team.

How we work

Five clear stages, from assessment to handover

  1. 01

    Site assessment

    We visit the site to understand the scale of the project and any specific challenges, such as access, protected trees, or nearby structures.

  2. 02

    Planning and risk assessment

    We prepare a detailed method statement and risk assessment for the project. This covers how the work will be carried out safely, and in line with UK regulations.

  3. 03

    Clearance work

    Our team carries out the clearance using the right machinery and methods for the scale of the site.

  4. 04

    Waste management

    All waste is sorted, segregated, and disposed of correctly, in line with environmental regulations.

  5. 05

    Handover

    Once the site is cleared, we carry out a final check and hand the site over, ready for the next stage of your project.

Safety and compliance
