Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Lewisham SE13, explained
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Lewisham SE13 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,987 households sit inside this SE13 patch, 75% of them flats, so we quote on access near Lewisham Market on the High Street rather than a London average.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Lewisham
Five steps, the same on every SE13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE13, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, 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 Lewisham customers book us
What follows is specific to Lewisham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham agents ask for.
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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
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. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Lewisham walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE13, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Lewisham stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Lewisham
Fixed prices for SE13 and the rest of Lewisham. 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. |

Included in the price

- On SE13 jobs: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, restaurant and cafe clearance included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, with 3,987 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, checked on every SE13 visit

Not included

- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, which we refer on to the right trade in Lewisham

Lewisham SE13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lewisham — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
In Lewisham (SE13) the split is 75% flats to 25% houses over 3,987 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 33% private renting against 32% owner-occupied, most SE13 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE13, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Lewisham stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
The market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers — one reason two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Fitters travelling in use Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Lewisham SE13 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Lewisham SE13?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Lewisham on SE13 jobs, with Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away, 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 around Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern). 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 across SE13 — and this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with 35% social-rented stock nearby.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Lewisham SE13?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 3,987 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lewisham most weeks on the Lewisham rounds, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Lewisham?
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 streets near Lewisham Market on the High Street, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Lewisham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Lewisham Market on the High Street. With 75% of Lewisham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SE13 jobs, with Lewisham parking rules in play — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, 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 Lewisham?
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 for Lewisham (SE13) addresses — and 33% of SE13 homes being privately rented, with Lewisham parking rules in play, 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 Lewisham SE13 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Lewisham Market on the High Street, with 75% of homes here being flats.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Lewisham SE13 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Lewisham privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Lewisham — and 25% of Lewisham homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
How quickly can you reach Lewisham from your Lewisham round?
Lewisham Market on the High Street is the marker we route to on Lewisham bookings, with 36% one-person households here, and roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. A SE13 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Lewisham, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
