Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Coulsdon CR5, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Coulsdon South, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 22% of Coulsdon's 6,754 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Coulsdon
Five steps, the same on every CR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Coulsdon stock goes, which is what a 22% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Coulsdon 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 Coulsdon customers book us
Four things decide whether a CR5 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. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Coulsdon walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in CR5, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Coulsdon
Fixed prices for CR5 and the rest of Croydon. 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. |

Scope

- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, which we refer on to the right trade in Coulsdon
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, and we will say so before the CR5 visit rather than on the day
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, outside the fixed price on Coulsdon bookings

Coulsdon CR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Coulsdon — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
The CR5 stock around Farthing Downs is inter-war. ONS records 22% flats, 78% houses and 6,754 households in Coulsdon.
12% of households rent privately and 74% own, which is why restaurant and cafe clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick in CR5, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in CR5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Coulsdon knows the pattern near Farthing Downs: downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. We plan the CR5 visit around it. Coulsdon 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: steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Coulsdon South (Southern) 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.

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Coulsdon CR5 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Coulsdon CR5?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Coulsdon on the streets near Farthing Downs, with 6,754 households on this patch, 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 for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses. 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 on this side of Croydon — and 6,754 households on this patch, with Croydon parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Coulsdon CR5?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with 78% of Coulsdon homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Coulsdon most weeks in this 22% flats neighbourhood, with Farthing Downs a few streets away.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Coulsdon?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Coulsdon South (Southern), with this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Coulsdon doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Coulsdon. With 22% of Coulsdon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses — and 6,754 households on this patch, with 74% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Coulsdon CR5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 12% of Coulsdon privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses — and a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern).
How quickly can you reach Coulsdon from your Croydon round?
Farthing Downs is the marker we route to across CR5, with 78% of Coulsdon homes being houses, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. A CR5 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Croydon, with Farthing Downs a few streets away.
Is same-day or evening restaurant and cafe clearance available in Croydon?
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 for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses — and 26% one-person households here, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory. Coulsdon sits close to Coulsdon South (Southern), with 22% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a CR5 job to an existing Croydon round at short notice in Coulsdon.
