Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Mitcham CR4, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Mitcham CR4 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 28% privately rented and 10,087 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Mitcham
Five steps, the same on every CR4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In CR4, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — and with 25% one-person households in Mitcham, 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 Mitcham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Mitcham 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. Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets.
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. Mitcham (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mitcham walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in CR4, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Mitcham (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map in CR4, 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, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Mitcham
Fixed prices for CR4 and the rest of Merton. 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 Mitcham
The same scope across CR4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Mitcham: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, the way it is done on Mitcham jobs
- On CR4 jobs: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, with 46% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Merton bookings: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, arranged with London Borough of Merton where the kerb needs it
- Extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it — including local restaurant and cafe clearance
- In Mitcham: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, timed against the walk in from Mitcham (Tramlink)
- On CR4 jobs: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, agreed on the doorstep in Mitcham before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, which we refer on to the right trade in Mitcham
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR4
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, outside the fixed price on Mitcham bookings
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, and we will say so before the CR4 visit rather than on the day

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 Mitcham
Mitcham CR4 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mitcham — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
In Mitcham (CR4) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 10,087 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 28% of Mitcham is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of CR4 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 CR4, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Mitcham (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Mitcham 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, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
One of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Mitcham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Mitcham (Tramlink) 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 Mitcham CR4 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Mitcham CR4?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Mitcham in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with 25% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Mitcham (Tramlink). 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 CR4 — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Mitcham (Tramlink).
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Mitcham CR4?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on CR4 jobs, with this being London Borough of Merton territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Mitcham most weeks on the Mitcham rounds, with 46% of homes here being flats.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Mitcham?
In Mitcham, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Merton bookings, with Merton parking rules in play. That covers local restaurant and cafe clearance on Mitcham jobs too.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Mitcham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Mitcham. With 46% of Mitcham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Merton bookings — and this being a short walk from Mitcham (Tramlink), with 28% of CR4 homes being privately rented, 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 Mitcham?
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 around Mitcham (Tramlink), with Merton parking rules in play — and Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green 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 Mitcham CR4 price you agree is the price you pay across CR4, with 46% of homes here being flats.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Mitcham CR4 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 28% of Mitcham privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Mitcham (CR4) addresses — and this being London Borough of Merton territory, with 28% of CR4 homes being privately rented.
How quickly can you reach Mitcham from your Merton round?
Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green is the marker we route to on the Mitcham rounds, with 10,087 households on this patch, and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. A CR4 slot added to an existing Merton round usually lands the same week rather than the next on CR4 jobs, with 25% one-person households here.
