Greenwich · SE3 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Blackheath fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide restaurant and cafe clearance in Blackheath SE3 for houses and flats around Blackheath and the Paragon. From £380, quoted in writing before the visit, with two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.


Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Blackheath, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 64% of Blackheath's 2,884 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE3 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. Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases.
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. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SE3, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Blackheath, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 Blackheath
Blackheath SE3 is Georgian and early Victorian and mixed-tenure: 64% of homes here are flats and 36% are houses, across 2,884 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 32% of Blackheath is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of SE3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Blackheath substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SE3, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Blackheath, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE3 customer twice.
The heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases — 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 Blackheath (Southeastern).

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Blackheath for Blackheath (SE3) addresses, with 51% owner-occupation locally, 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 the streets near Blackheath and the Paragon. 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 around Blackheath (Southeastern) — and 64% of homes here being flats, with 32% of SE3 homes being privately rented.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Blackheath, with Greenwich parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Blackheath most weeks around Blackheath (Southeastern), with 36% one-person households here.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Blackheath and the Paragon, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Blackheath. With 64% of Blackheath homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Greenwich bookings, with Blackheath and the Paragon a few streets away — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, 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 on the Blackheath rounds, with Blackheath and the Paragon a few streets away — and Greenwich 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 Blackheath SE3 price you agree is the price you pay for Blackheath (SE3) addresses, with 64% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 32% of Blackheath privately rented and 51% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Blackheath (Southeastern) — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with 17% social-rented stock nearby.
Blackheath and the Paragon is the marker we route to for Blackheath (SE3) addresses, with 32% of SE3 homes being privately rented, and conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. A SE3 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 64% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Blackheath (Southeastern).
