Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Streatham SW16, explained
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Streatham SW16 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Edwardian. 26,325 households sit inside this SW16 patch, 66% of them flats, so we quote on access near Streatham Common and the Rookery rather than a London average.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Streatham
Five steps, the same on every SW16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW16, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Streatham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Streatham 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 streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts.
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. Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Streatham walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Streatham, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 30% one-person households in Streatham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Streatham
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. |

Scope
What's included in Streatham
The same scope across SW16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Streatham: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, timed against the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern)
- On SW16 jobs: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, agreed on the doorstep in Streatham before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, allowing for the 35% of SW16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, noted on the Streatham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Streatham: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, sized for the a23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts
- On SW16 jobs: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, restaurant and cafe clearance included
Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, and we will say so before the SW16 visit rather than on the day
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, which we refer on to the right trade in Streatham
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW16

This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Working in Streatham
Streatham SW16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Streatham — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
In Streatham (SW16) the split is 66% flats to 34% houses over 26,325 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 35% of Streatham is privately rented and 21% socially rented, a lot of SW16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Streatham, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 30% one-person households in Streatham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Streatham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
A two-mile high road, the common and the ice rink, with Edwardian streets either side. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Streatham 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 streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts. Streatham (Thameslink, 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.

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Streatham SW16 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Streatham SW16?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Streatham on this side of Lambeth, with 66% of homes here being flats, 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 in this 66% flats neighbourhood. 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 Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) — and 44% owner-occupation locally, with 30% one-person households here.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Streatham SW16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Lambeth, with Streatham Common and the Rookery a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Streatham most weeks across SW16, with 34% of Streatham homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Streatham?
In Streatham, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with 21% social-rented stock nearby. That covers restaurant and cafe clearance london on Streatham jobs too.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Streatham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 66% flats neighbourhood. With 66% of Streatham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Streatham (SW16) addresses, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood — and 66% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Streatham?
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 Streatham rounds — and this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), with Streatham Common and the Rookery a few streets away, 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 Streatham SW16 price you agree is the price you pay on SW16 jobs, with 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Streatham SW16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 35% of Streatham privately rented and 44% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SW16 — and this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), with 30% one-person households here.
How quickly can you reach Streatham from your Lambeth round?
Streatham Common and the Rookery is the marker we route to around Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) — and this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), with 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented, and a23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts. A SW16 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SW16, with this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern).
