Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Kew TW9 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,163 households sit inside this TW9 patch, 41% of them flats, so we quote on access near Kew Gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
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
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
We expect solid London stock brick in TW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 neighbourhood in TW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
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. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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. |

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 Kew

Expect solid London stock brick in TW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 neighbourhood behind the plaster in TW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in TW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 30% 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.
Two streets can behave very differently in Kew: the botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Kew 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: narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) 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.
