Greenwich · SE7 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Charlton fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for restaurant and cafe clearance in Charlton SE7? We work in Charlton most weeks — jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks — 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
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Charlton SE7 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 20% privately rented and 5,904 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE7, often with surface conduit, with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Charlton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
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.

Working in Charlton
In Charlton (SE7) the split is 48% flats to 52% houses over 5,904 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 20% private renting against 41% owner-occupied, most SE7 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Charlton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE7, often with surface conduit, with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Charlton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks — which is why a SE7 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Charlton (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.
