Service
Factory closure and relocation support
Factory closure and relocation support covers the practical site work around a shutdown or move: phased clearance, coordination of asset and plant removal, cleaning, reinstatement and preparing the building for handover. Red & White Group coordinates these workstreams as one team so a manufacturing or logistics site moves from live operation to agreed final condition against a fixed date.
Who this service is for
- Manufacturers closing or consolidating a plant
- Operations and site directors managing a relocation
- Group property teams handing a building back
- Facilities managers running a phased shutdown
Problems and trigger events
- A production line is being decommissioned or moved
- A site closure has a board-agreed completion date
- A landlord handover follows the final production day
- Equipment is being sold, relocated or scrapped
Scope
Typical scope of work
- Phased clearance around continuing production areas
- Coordination with your plant movers, equipment buyers and specialists
- Removal of redundant fittings, racking, partitions and site infrastructure
- Deep and high-level cleaning of production areas, steelwork and cladding
- Reinstatement, decoration and preparation for inspection and handover
Quoting
What we need to prepare a quotation
- Site address, floor area and building type
- The closure or relocation programme and key dates
- Which areas remain live and for how long
- What plant is leaving, and who is removing it
- Any known contamination, residues or specialist requirements
Safety
Safety and compliance
- Permit-to-work discipline where production continues alongside clearance
- Isolation of services confirmed with your engineering team before any removal
- Specialist lifting, asbestos and hazardous-material work is not assumed in scope; where required it is assessed and confirmed with the appropriate competent party
Process
How the work is delivered
Step 1
Understand the programme
We map the closure dates, live areas and the final condition required.
Step 2
Survey and define the scope
We survey each area, confirm what is in scope and identify anything needing specialist competence.
Step 3
Plan sequencing, safety and access
Phasing is agreed so clearance follows production down the site without interrupting what is still running.
Step 4
Coordinate and deliver
One point of contact coordinates our teams alongside your movers and equipment specialists.
Step 5
Review, document and prepare for handover
Areas are signed off progressively with photographic records ready for landlord or purchaser inspection.
