Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Chessington KT9, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Chessington North, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 20% of Chessington's 5,734 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in KT9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Chessington
Five steps, the same on every KT9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Chessington stock goes, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Chessington customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Chessington 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. Chessington North (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Chessington 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 Chessington World of Adventures in KT9, 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 wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout.
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 Chessington
Fixed prices for KT9 and the rest of Kingston upon Thames. 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. |

- In Chessington: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, timed against the walk in from Chessington North (South Western)
