Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in East Village E20, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for East Village E20 specifically: mixed-era stock, 43% privately rented and 3,158 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in East Village
Five steps, the same on every E20 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the East Village stock goes, which is what a 77% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Village actually produces 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 East Village customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a East Village wall.
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. Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a E20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
East Village walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — the pattern behind 3,158 households inside the E20 neighbourhood in E20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in East Village
Fixed prices for E20 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 East Village
The same scope across E20, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On E20 jobs: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, agreed on the doorstep in East Village before anything is unpacked
- In East Village: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, timed against the walk in from Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern)
- Disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, noted on the East Village job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Newham bookings: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, allowing for the 43% of E20 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E20 jobs: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, restaurant and cafe clearance london included
- In East Village: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, sized for the estate management requires move-in slots, lift protection and permits for every vehicle
Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E20
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, which we refer on to the right trade in East Village
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, and we will say so before the E20 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.

East Village E20 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers East Village — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts East Village at 3,158 households with a median age of 29.1. The mixed-era stock is renter-heavy, which is why 23% houses and 77% flats need different handling in E20.
Owner-occupation runs at 33% in East Village, so alongside the 43% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
East Village substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — the pattern behind 3,158 households inside the E20 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E20 customer twice.
Anyone who knows East Village knows the pattern near The ArcelorMittal Orbit: the former athletes' village, now a managed neighbourhood of apartment blocks and parkland. We plan the E20 visit around it. East Village 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: estate management requires move-in slots, lift protection and permits for every vehicle. Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern) 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 East Village E20 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in East Village E20?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in East Village around Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern), with Newham parking rules in play, 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 on E20 jobs. 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 on this side of Newham — and 77% of homes here being flats, with 43% of E20 homes being privately rented.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in East Village E20?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in East Village, with Newham parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in East Village most weeks on this side of Newham, with 77% of homes here being flats.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in East Village?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern), with 33% owner-occupation locally. London Borough of Newham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a East Village doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in East Village. With 77% of East Village homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for East Village (E20) addresses — and 29% one-person households here, with a median age of 29 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in E20?
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 around Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern), with The ArcelorMittal Orbit a few streets away. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 77% flats neighbourhood, with 23% of East Village homes being houses.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in East Village?
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 in East Village, with 3,158 households on this patch — and this being a short walk from Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern), 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 East Village E20 price you agree is the price you pay for East Village (E20) addresses, with 29% one-person households here.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in East Village E20 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 43% of East Village privately rented and 33% owner-occupied, roughly half the E20 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across E20, with 29% one-person households here.
