Bexley · DA16 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Welling fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for restaurant and cafe clearance in Welling DA16? We work in Welling most weeks — a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east — and price restaurant and cafe clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £380, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.


Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Welling DA16 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them inter-war. 3,815 households sit inside this DA16 patch, 19% of them flats, so we quote on access near Danson Park and Danson House rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
Fridges and cold rooms first for degassing, then cooking equipment, then extraction, so the crew is never waiting on a certificate mid-job.
Step 4
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
Registered waste carrier with F-gas certified degassing for refrigeration and licensed disposal for grease trap waste, both receipted separately from the general transfer note.
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.
Three to five working days where degassing and Gas Safe sign-off need to be arranged first; a front-of-house-only clear can often be booked within 48 hours. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Welling stock goes, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front-of-house strip-out, small unit | £380 | 3–4 hrs | Tables, chairs, till point and soft furnishings cleared from a café-sized unit under around 800 sq ft. |
| Commercial kitchen equipment removal, per item | £65 | 20–30 min | Ovens, fryers and prep tables are heavy, often plumbed or hard-wired, and need disconnection before they can be moved safely. |
| Refrigeration and F-gas degassing, per unit | £95 | 30–45 min | Fridges and cold rooms holding refrigerant must be certified degassed before removal, which is a licensed job, not a lift-and-carry one. |
| Grease trap emptying and removal | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Trapped fat, oil and grease is controlled waste that has to go to a licensed treatment facility, and the trap itself is often built into the drainage and needs careful disconnection. |
| Extraction canopy and ductwork removal | £340 | half day | Canopy, ductwork and filters are usually the last things fitted and the hardest to remove, often needing access equipment for ceiling-height runs. |
| Full unit closure clearance | £680 | 1 day | Kitchen, front-of-house and cellar cleared and swept in one visit for a lease handover, priced against the full inventory rather than by room. |

Scope
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times.

Working in Welling
Welling DA16 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 19% of homes here are flats and 81% are houses, across 3,815 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (78% owned, 16% privately rented) means a DA16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Welling substrates run to cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Welling stock goes, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a DA16 customer twice.
A long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays — one reason two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Fitters travelling in use Welling (Southeastern).

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Welling across DA16, with 81% of Welling homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The number of plumbed and gas-connected appliances, not the floor area on this side of Bexley. A small unit with a full kitchen and a grease trap can cost more to clear than a larger unit that only ever served coffee and cake for Welling (DA16) addresses, with 78% owner-occupation locally — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Bexley, with 81% of Welling homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Welling most weeks across DA16, with 6% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Bexley bookings, with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across DA16. With 19% of Welling homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Danson Park and Danson House, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood — and 19% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance; Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void; Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts across DA16, with 16% of DA16 homes being privately rented — and Bexley parking rules in play, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier; Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Welling DA16 price you agree is the price you pay on the Welling rounds, with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern).
All three. With 16% of Welling privately rented and 78% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across DA16 — and 19% of homes here being flats, with 25% one-person households here.
Danson Park and Danson House is the marker we route to on the streets near Danson Park and Danson House, with 3,815 households on this patch, and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays. A DA16 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next across DA16, with 25% one-person households here.
