Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Norbury SW16, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Norbury SW16 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 28% privately rented and 6,130 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lambeth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Norbury
Five steps, the same on every SW16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW16, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and with 25% one-person households in Norbury, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Norbury customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Norbury wall.
Crew sized to the job
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. A23 red route, side-road permit bays and railway-bridge height limits.
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. Norbury (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Norbury walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in SW16, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Norbury (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in SW16, 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, as the Norbury stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Norbury
Fixed prices for SW16 and the rest of Lambeth. 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. |

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.

Working in Norbury
Norbury SW16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Norbury — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
6,130 households sit inside the SW16 neighbourhood covering Norbury. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 29% of those homes are flats.
The mixed-tenure mix here (55% owned, 28% privately rented) means a SW16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Norbury substrates run to solid London stock brick in SW16, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Norbury (Southern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Norbury stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SW16 customer twice.
The southern end of the London Road corridor, with Edwardian terraces and a busy parade. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Norbury sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: a23 red route, side-road permit bays and railway-bridge height limits. Norbury (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.

Will a built wardrobe fit through a Norbury doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 29% flats neighbourhood. With 29% of Norbury homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Norbury (SW16) addresses, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood — and 29% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Norbury?
A23 red route, side-road permit bays and railway-bridge height limits on SW16 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lambeth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Norbury Park — and 29% of homes here being flats, with 25% one-person households here.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW16?
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 Norbury rounds, with 6,130 households on this patch. That paperwork is what most Lambeth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Lambeth bookings, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Norbury?
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 SW16 jobs, with Lambeth parking rules in play — and 18% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Norbury SW16 price you agree is the price you pay around Norbury (Southern), with 29% of homes here being flats.
