Bromley · BR1 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Bickley fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking restaurant and cafe clearance near Bickley Park? Long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £380 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.


Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Bickley, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 25% of Bickley's 6,738 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR1 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads.
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. Bickley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Bickley, cavity brickwork outside, and long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads in BR1, 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 Bickley stock goes, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. |

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.

Working in Bickley
6,738 households sit inside the BR1 neighbourhood covering Bickley. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 25% of those homes are flats.
Because 18% of Bickley is privately rented and 8% socially rented, a lot of BR1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in Bickley, cavity brickwork outside, and long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads, so the fixing that matters in Bickley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Bickley stock goes, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Large Victorian and Edwardian houses on wide avenues east of Bromley. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Bickley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads. Bickley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.
