When a plant closes, the process of decommissioning, decontaminating and handing back a site runs on a schedule that has nothing to do with the value of what is in the warehouse. Valves get pushed to the end of the list because they are heavy, awkward and nobody wants to own the decision.
We work to closure schedules. That means reviewing a stores list quickly, giving you a number that does not move, and taking the material away in a way that does not interfere with the demolition or remediation contractor working next door.
The practical sequence
What happens, in order
- 01 Send what existsA stores export, a photographed shelf, or a hand-written list. Perfection is not required. →
- 02 Get a numberWe price the lot as it stands, including the awkward items, rather than cherry-picking. →
- 03 Clear the spaceWe arrange lifting, loading and transport so the building can be released. →
What we need
The short version
A rough list, a location and a date. That is enough to start. If there are photographs, the review is faster and the number is more confident.
We do not need the valves cleaned, sorted or labelled. We do not need a data sheet for each item. And we do not need you to decide which items are worth selling before you send the list — that is the review.
Mixed lots and partial assemblies are included. If the material is awkward, unidentified or incomplete, say so and include it. A lot that describes its own problems is faster to price than one that does not.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy the whole stores room?
Yes. Whole-crib purchases are the normal form for a closure, and they are usually faster and better value than selling the good items individually.
What about valves still installed?
We buy removed valves. For installed equipment, we can review what is being removed as part of the demolition scope.
Can you work to a hand-back date?
Yes. Tell us the date at the start and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
