Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Petts Wood BR5, explained
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Petts Wood BR5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them inter-war. 2,972 households sit inside this BR5 patch, 8% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Willett Memorial Wood rather than a London average.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, as the Petts Wood stock goes, which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site visit and equipment list
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
Gas and electrical sign-off confirmed
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
Kitchen stripped in sequence
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
Grease trap and drainage cleared
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Front-of-house and final sweep
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
Why Petts Wood customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
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. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Petts Wood, cavity brickwork outside — where 90% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in BR5, 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 on these streets — and with 22% one-person households in Petts Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. The number of plumbed and gas-connected appliances, not the floor area. 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.
| 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.

Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Petts Wood BR5?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Petts Wood most weeks on Bromley bookings, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Petts Wood?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Petts Wood (Southeastern), with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Petts Wood doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood. With 8% of Petts Wood homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across BR5 — and this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), with 22% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

All three.

Is same-day or evening restaurant and cafe clearance available in Bromley?
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 around Petts Wood (Southeastern) — and 22% one-person households here, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory.
