Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Nunhead fitters · Fixed written pricesRestaurant and cafe clearance for Nunhead (SE15) households — 7,127 of them, 58% in flats.

Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Nunhead, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 58% of Nunhead's 7,127 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE15 shape the slot length we hold.
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
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
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. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE15, 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 on these streets — measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.

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.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times.

Working in Nunhead
Census 2021 puts Nunhead at 7,127 households with a median age of 35.1. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 42% houses and 58% flats need different handling in SE15.
20% of households rent privately and 41% own, which is why restaurant and cafe clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE15. 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 on these streets — measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Nunhead knows the pattern near Nunhead Cemetery: cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley. We plan the SE15 visit around it. Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Nunhead (Southeastern), and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Nunhead on Southwark bookings, with Southwark 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 in this 58% 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 for Nunhead (SE15) addresses — and 20% of SE15 homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE15 jobs, with 20% of SE15 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Nunhead most weeks around Nunhead (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Nunhead (Southeastern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE15, with 39% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Nunhead rounds. With 58% of Nunhead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Nunhead (SE15) addresses, with 41% owner-occupation locally — and Southwark parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 Nunhead (Southeastern), with 42% of Nunhead homes being houses. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 58% flats neighbourhood, with 39% social-rented stock nearby.
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 Nunhead (SE15) addresses, with 41% owner-occupation locally — and 39% 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 Nunhead SE15 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Nunhead Cemetery, with 39% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 20% of Nunhead privately rented and 41% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Nunhead rounds — and 7,127 households on this patch, with 58% of homes here being flats.
