Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Custom House E16, explained
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Custom House E16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Newham, most of them post-war. 3,330 households sit inside this E16 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near Custom House station and Victoria Dock rather than a London average.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In E16, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Custom House customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House 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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked 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. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map in E16, 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 Custom House stock goes, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Custom House: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- On E16 jobs: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Newham bookings: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, allowing for the 24% of E16 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 Custom House job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Custom House: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, sized for the construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts
- On E16 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
- 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 E16
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, and we will say so before the E16 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 Custom House
Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
With 24% private renting against 26% owner-occupied, most E16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Custom House substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Custom House stock goes, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), 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 Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Custom House E16?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Custom House on this side of Newham, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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 50% 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 Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) — and Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, with 50% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Custom House E16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Custom House rounds, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks across E16, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Custom House?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on E16 jobs, with 3,330 households on this patch.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on E16 jobs. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Custom House rounds — and 3,330 households on this patch, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, 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 Custom House?
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 E16 jobs — and 3,330 households on this patch, with 49% 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 Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 50% of Custom House homes being houses.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Custom House E16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Newham bookings — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with 49% social-rented stock nearby.
How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to across E16, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Newham, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away.
