Cannabis Farm Removal Services
Reclaim and restore properties compromised by illicit cultivation. As licensed clearance teams, we strip out heavy equipment and decontaminate toxic residue across residential and commercial buildings. We return your property to a cleared and decontaminated condition. We do not make good or carry out structural repair.
- Licensed waste transport and disposal
- Decontamination of the property after the strip-out
- Full strip out of bypassed electrics, ductwork, and structural alterations
- Waste Transfer Notes for insurers, local councils, and legal authorities
Request a Cannabis Grow Clearance Assessment
Every grow operation creates distinct hazards. We assess the site to define the scope of work and issue a fixed, transparent quote for restoration.
To schedule your assessment, provide the following details:
- Confirmation of police release: confirm that officers have completed evidence collection and issued property release documentation before our technicians enter.
- Site access details: keys, access codes, and notification of any structural instability or barricades.
- Utility status: information on active gas, water, or live bypassed electrical supplies.
Our team inspects the structure, calculates waste volumes, identifies hazards, and confirms the price in a written quote before work begins.
Specialist Grow House Strip Out and Decontamination
Illicit grow setups cause severe, compounding damage to buildings. Our teams work in full personal protective equipment to systematically clear and sanitise the premises.
Removal of grow equipment and hazardous wiring
Growers often bypass mains electricity to power high-intensity discharge lamps and ballasts, which creates severe fire and electrocution risks. The customer or the utility company makes the electricity supply safe before we dismantle the infrastructure. We strip out ballasts, transformers, carbon filters, industrial fans, and complex aluminium duct networks. We remove false partition walls, reflective sheeting, and ceiling hooks, then safely extract all plant apparatus from the building framework.
Soil, chemical, and organic waste disposal
Cultivators abandon large quantities of spent soil, root systems, and dangerous chemical residues. We extract tonnes of damp compost, synthetic grow media, rockwool, and plant stems. We do not remove fertilisers, pesticides or other grow chemicals.
Mould and odour damage
Artificial humidity and high temperatures cause aggressive mould growth inside plasterboard, subfloors, and roof spaces. The pungent, oily cannabis odour also penetrates porous brickwork and timber.
Legal compliance and waste licensing standards
Property owners carry legal responsibility for all waste produced on their premises. Transferring this waste to an operator who is not an authorised person breaches your own duty of care, and breaching the section 34 duty is a criminal offence punishable by a fine.
We help protect landlords through regulatory compliance:
- Upper-tier waste carrier licence: registered with the Environment Agency (CBDU549477) to transport controlled waste.
- Duty of care transfer notes: we issue a Waste Transfer Note on every clearance, giving you a documented record of the waste leaving your site for licensed processing facilities.
- Insurer evidence: Waste Transfer Notes you can submit with your claim. Your insurer decides whether its policy criteria are met.
Who needs commercial cannabis farm clearance?
We resolve complex contamination issues for clients who need compliant restoration:
- Private landlords whose tenants converted rental premises into illicit farms
- Commercial property managers and industrial estate operators faced with contaminated warehouses or abandoned units
- Housing associations and local authorities responsible for public housing stock restoration
- Estate executors, banks, and receivers who take possession of seized or damaged collateral assets
Property risks from illicit cultivation setups
A cannabis grow causes extensive physical damage to the surrounding structure:
- Fire hazards: tampered circuit boards, spliced live wiring, and unvented transformers operate far beyond system design loads.
- Structural damage: cultivators routinely cut holes through load-bearing walls, floor joists, and roof timbers to run large ventilation shafts.
- Severe damp and rot: unvented irrigation systems dump hundreds of litres of moisture into building fabric, causing wet rot, dry rot, and ceiling collapses.
- Biohazard contamination: toxic chemical spills and stagnant water breed bacteria, fungi, and dangerous pathogens that threaten human health.
Around June 2026 DrClear cleared a 9,420 sq ft cannabis farm in a commercial property in the West Midlands, referred by Holt Commercial. Police attended before the clearance and disconnected the power, so the team worked in full PPE under portable battery lighting. The strip-out removed lamps and lighting equipment, growing equipment for approximately 1,600 pots, contaminated soil, ventilation fans and ducting, cultivation wiring, plastic sheeting from walls and floors, and office furniture from adjacent rooms. 95% of the waste was diverted from landfill, and a Waste Transfer Note was issued.

Clearance was done to a high standard and extremely quick! The 3 man crew were very … More polite and friendly
