An office clearance is a business decision. Reliability, compliance and documentation are not optional extras — they are the baseline expectation from any professional clearance provider you bring into your premises.
A professional office clearance covers the complete emptying of a commercial space — furniture, filing cabinets, IT equipment, archives, kitchen appliances, and any remaining fit-out elements — with correct disposal routing for every category. Critically, this includes GDPR/DSG-compliant destruction for any documents or data storage devices that contain personal or confidential information.
ZüriClean serves businesses in Zürich as both a clearance and cleaning provider. After your office is cleared, our commercial cleaning team can carry out a full office clean to landlord or agency standard — in the same booking, without coordinating a second company. We are the only clearance provider in Zürich that offers both services under one roof.
We work with businesses of all sizes — a solo practice vacating one room, a mid-size company relocating a 500 m² floor, or a large corporation consolidating multiple sites. Every clearance starts with a free site visit and ends with a written confirmation.
Desks, office chairs, conference tables, filing cabinets, shelving units, reception furniture, lockers, and partitions. We disassemble items that cannot be moved whole, carry everything out, and route to disposal, donation, or secondhand channels. Good-condition office furniture can be offered to secondhand dealers or donated — ask us about this when you book.
Computers, monitors, servers, printers, copiers, phones, network equipment, UPS units, and all associated cabling. All IT equipment is disposed of via SWICO-certified e-waste channels. For devices containing data (computers, servers, hard drives, copier memory units), DSG-compliant data destruction is required before disposal — see the dedicated section below.
Paper files, binders, printed records, and physical archives. Documents containing personal or confidential business data cannot simply go into paper recycling — they require certified shredding to DIN 66399 standard with a destruction certificate. We coordinate this as part of the clearance.
Coffee machines, microwaves, fridges, dishwashers, crockery, and kitchen furniture. Refrigeration units are handled separately due to refrigerant content. All appliances go via appropriate e-waste or disposal channels.
If your office clearance involves removing built-in elements — raised flooring, cable trays, partition walls, suspended ceilings, or custom built-in furniture — this is Rückbau (fit-out removal), which requires additional planning and is quoted separately after site assessment.
Clearing one department, one floor, or specific items while the rest of the business continues operating? We plan partial clearances carefully — sequencing the work to minimise disruption to ongoing operations.
When a business is closing, the commercial premises must be vacated. Clearance deadlines are often legally binding. We treat closure clearances with discretion and confidentiality — we do not need to know the circumstances, and we do not share what we see.
The most common trigger. An office is moving to new premises, and the old location must be cleared and returned to the landlord in the agreed condition. We clear the old office and can clean it on the same booking — handing the space back ready for the landlord inspection.
A company is reducing its office footprint — moving from 500 m² to 200 m², or from three floors to one. Surplus furniture, equipment and filing must be cleared from the vacated space while the rest of the business remains operational.
The commercial tenancy is ending, and the space must be returned in the condition specified in the lease. This typically requires a professional clean in addition to clearance — both available through ZüriClean in one booking.
Two offices becoming one — the redundant location must be cleared, contents either relocated or disposed of, and the space handed back. We work to your integration timeline.
A complete office redesign requires all existing furniture and equipment to be removed before the fit-out team arrives. We are clear on a defined scope and date, leaving a clean shell.
We always start with a free on-site visit for office clearances. This is essential for accurate pricing and logistics planning. We walk through the space with you, assess volume and content categories, identify any compliance-sensitive materials (archives, IT with data), check access and loading conditions, and discuss scheduling constraints. You receive a written fixed-price quote within 24 hours.
For larger clearances, we develop a phased plan — which areas are cleared first, how to minimise disruption to ongoing operations, and how the schedule aligns with your lease end date or contractor arrival. For smaller offices, scheduling is straightforward. We confirm all details in writing.
Our team arrives at the agreed time — including evenings or weekends where required — with all necessary equipment. We work systematically through the agreed scope: furniture disassembly and removal, IT equipment packaging and labelling, document sorting and transfer to shredding. Everything is loaded and routed to the correct disposal facility.
On completion, we provide a written clearance confirmation. Where IT destruction or document shredding was included, you receive the relevant certificates. If office cleaning is booked, the cleaning team follows directly. The space is handed over broom-clean and ready for landlord inspection or the next occupier.
Office clearance costs depend on: the size of the space (m²), volume and type of contents, access conditions, whether IT disposal with certification is required, whether document shredding is needed, and whether Rückbau is included. Market data from Zürich-based providers shows small offices from CHF 800 and larger commercial clearances from CHF 2'500.

|---|---|---|
| Small office (1–3 rooms, up to 50 m²) | from CHF 800 | Standard contents, good access |
| Medium office (50–150 m², partial floor) | from CHF 1'500 | Includes IT routing and sorting |

| Full commercial floor (300+ m²) | on request | Site visit required, phased clearance |

When clearing a business office, data protection compliance is not optional. Any office that has processed personal data — employee information, customer records, financial data, supplier contracts — has legal obligations under Swiss data protection law (DSG) and, where applicable, EU GDPR. These obligations apply to both paper documents and digital devices.
What requires certified shredding (not general recycling):
Certified shredding to DIN 66399 Security Level P-4 or higher ensures that documents are destroyed to a standard that makes reconstruction impossible. A certificate of destruction is issued, providing a verifiable compliance record.
Simply formatting a hard drive or deleting files is not sufficient for data protection compliance. Physical destruction or certified degaussing of storage media is required for devices that hold personal or confidential data.
Devices that require certified data destruction:
All IT equipment we collect is disposed of via SWICO-certified e-waste channels. For devices requiring data destruction, we coordinate certified destruction and issue a destruction certificate on completion. You receive one document confirming both the disposal route and the data destruction — for your compliance records.
▌ No other clearance company in Zürich explains this process in detail on their service page. ZüriClean provides a transparent, documented approach to data compliance in office clearance — a genuine differentiator for business clients who cannot afford a compliance gap.
A live business cannot always shut down for a clearance. If your office is still operational during the clearance period — staff are working, clients are visiting, deliveries are arriving — we adapt our schedule to minimise disruption.
Flexible scheduling is discussed at the site visit and confirmed in writing as part of your clearance plan. There is no standard surcharge for evening or weekend work — this is quoted case-by-case.
Commercial lease agreements typically require the premises to be returned in a clean condition. After an office clearance, the space needs a professional commercial clean before the landlord or agent inspection. This is not the same as regular office cleaning — it is a deep clean of floors, surfaces, windows, kitchen and bathroom areas to the standard specified in the lease.
ZüriClean is the only clearance company in Zürich that also provides professional commercial cleaning. We clear the office and clean it in a single, sequenced booking — no separate cleaning company to coordinate, no gap between clearance and inspection.
Booking both services together is more economical than separate bookings and eliminates the coordination risk of two different companies working to the same handover deadline. Ask us about the combined rate at the site visit.
You receive a written clearance confirmation, plus destruction certificates for IT and documents where applicable. One document covering the full scope — for your compliance records and any landlord or audit requirements.
All electronics are disposed of via SWICO-certified channels — the Swiss industry standard for IT e-waste. Where data destruction is required, we coordinate certified destruction with a destruction certificate at P-4 standard or above.
Evening and weekend clearance slots available. Phased clearance for operating offices. We adapt to your schedule, not the other way around.
No other clearance company in Zürich provides commercial cleaning with a handover guarantee. ZüriClean does — clearing and cleaning in one booking, one invoice, one point of contact.
We quote after seeing the space. The price is fixed and written. No per-hour rates that escalate, no add-ons that were not in the scope.
Our team communicates in English. For international businesses, multinational offices, and English-speaking office managers in Zürich, this is a practical advantage when coordinating a time-sensitive commercial clearance.
We clear commercial offices across Zürich city and the surrounding canton — including all major business districts:
Operating in a location not listed? Contact us — we confirm coverage for all Zürich canton locations.
Tell us the address, approximate size of the space, main contents, and your target date. We arrange a free site visit within 24 hours and issue a written fixed-price quote on the same day. No obligation.
Prefer to discuss by phone first? Call us directly — we are happy to advise before a site visit is arranged.
Small offices start from CHF 800, larger commercial clearances from CHF 2'500. A full office floor (150–300 m²) is typically CHF 2'500–5'000+, depending on content volume and whether IT destruction and document shredding are included. All prices are fixed after a free site visit — we do not quote without seeing the space.
Yes. We coordinate SWICO-certified IT disposal and DIN 66399-compliant document shredding. Destruction certificates are issued for both categories — confirming what was destroyed, at what security level, and when. This is included as an add-on to any office clearance.
Yes. We offer evening and weekend clearance slots and phased clearance planning for operating businesses. We adapt our schedule to minimise disruption — confirmed in writing as part of your clearance plan.
Yes — and we are the only company in Zürich that offers both. We clear the office and clean it to commercial handover standard in a single booking. No second company to coordinate, one invoice.
You receive a written clearance confirmation covering the scope and date of work, plus destruction certificates for IT disposal and document shredding where applicable. All documentation is dated and suitable for compliance records, landlord handover files, or audit purposes.
A small office (1–3 rooms) can typically be cleared in a single working day. A full commercial floor (150–300 m²) may require one to three days depending on content volume, complexity, and scheduling constraints. We confirm the expected duration at the site visit and in your written quote.
Yes — this is Rückbau (fit-out removal), and it is quoted separately from standard clearance after a site assessment. It covers dismantling partitions, removing raised floors, stripping cable management systems, and returning the space to base-build condition.
Yes, on request. Good-condition office furniture — desks, ergonomic chairs, conference tables — may be accepted by secondhand office furniture dealers in Zürich, or listed on platforms like Tutti.ch. This can sometimes reduce clearance costs by offsetting disposal fees. We advise on this option at the site visit.
Yes. We understand that commercial clearances — particularly for company closures or restructurings — may be sensitive. Our team does not discuss the nature or circumstances of any job, and we handle all clearances professionally and without commentary.
