Restaurant and cafe clearance in Collier Row RM5, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Collier Row RM5 specifically: post-war stock, 14% privately rented and 3,167 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Havering permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Collier Row
Five steps, the same on every RM5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Collier Row stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Collier Row customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Collier Row wall.
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. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Collier Row walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Collier Row Lane parade in RM5, 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 — and with 23% one-person households in Collier Row, 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 Collier Row
Fixed prices for RM5 and the rest of Havering. 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
What's included in Collier Row
The same scope across RM5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On RM5 jobs: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, agreed on the doorstep in Collier Row before anything is unpacked
- In Collier Row: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, timed against the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line)
- Disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, noted on the Collier Row job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Havering bookings: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, allowing for the 14% of RM5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On RM5 jobs: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, local restaurant and cafe clearance included
- In Collier Row: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, sized for the wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading
Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, handled by London Borough of Havering or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, and we will say so before the RM5 visit rather than on the day
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, outside the fixed price on Collier Row bookings
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in RM5

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Collier Row RM5 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Collier Row RM5?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Collier Row, with 74% 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 Havering bookings. 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 the streets near Collier Row Lane parade — and 88% of Collier Row homes being houses, with 23% one-person households here.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Collier Row RM5?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on RM5 jobs, with 88% of Collier Row homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Collier Row most weeks around Romford (Elizabeth line), with Collier Row Lane parade a few streets away.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Collier Row?
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 Collier Row rounds, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Collier Row doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Collier Row. With 12% of Collier Row homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Collier Row (RM5) addresses — and 74% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening restaurant and cafe clearance available in Havering?
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 on the Collier Row rounds — and 12% social-rented stock nearby, with 3,167 households on this patch. Collier Row sits close to Romford (Elizabeth line) on Havering bookings, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a RM5 job to an existing Havering round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Collier Row?
Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Havering it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Collier Row Lane parade — and 74% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line).
Are your fitters insured for work in RM5?
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 on the Collier Row rounds, with 88% of Collier Row homes being houses. That paperwork is what most Havering letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across RM5, with 12% social-rented stock nearby.
