Overview

Restaurant and cafe clearance in Peckham SE15, explained

Restaurant and cafe clearance in Peckham SE15 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Southwark, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 24,172 households sit inside this SE15 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building rather than a London average.

How it works

How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Peckham

Five steps, the same on every SE15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Peckham gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Peckham actually produces is what we plan for here.
  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Gas and electrical sign-off confirmed

    We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Grease trap and drainage cleared

    Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.

  5. 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 Peckham customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Peckham wall.

Peckham walls, not generic walls

We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 24,172 households inside the SE15 neighbourhood in SE15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 32% one-person households in Peckham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

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.

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. Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays.

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. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Peckham

Fixed prices for SE15 and the rest of Southwark. 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.
Restaurant and cafe clearance price guide for Peckham SE15
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit£3803–4 hrsTables, chairs, till point and soft furnishings cleared from a café-sized unit under around 800 sq ft.
Commercial kitchen equipment removal, per item£6520–30 minOvens, 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£9530–45 minFridges 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£2101–2 hrsTrapped 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£340half dayCanopy, 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£6801 dayKitchen, front-of-house and cellar cleared and swept in one visit for a lease handover, priced against the full inventory rather than by room.

Restaurant and café clearance is quoted plus VAT at 20% after a site visit, because kitchen equipment varies enormously in size and fixing. F-gas degassing certificates, grease trap disposal and transfer notes are included; loading bay suspensions are itemised.

Scope

What's included in Peckham

The same scope across SE15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed — including restaurant and cafe clearance london
  • Standard on Southwark bookings: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
  • On SE15 jobs: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, with 72% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
  • In Peckham: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, the way it is done on Peckham jobs
  • Segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, checked on every SE15 visit
  • Standard on Southwark bookings: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, with 24,172 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most

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 Peckham
  • Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
  • Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, outside the fixed price on Peckham bookings
  • Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE15

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 Peckham

Peckham SE15 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Peckham — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.

The SE15 stock around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 72% flats, 28% houses and 24,172 households in Peckham.

Private renting sits at 23% and owner-occupation at 31%; the first group books restaurant and cafe clearance at short notice, the second plans it.

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 24,172 households inside the SE15 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Peckham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 32% one-person households in Peckham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

Two streets can behave very differently in Peckham: rye Lane's markets, rooftop bars and Georgian terraces around Peckham Rye. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Peckham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.

On access, rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays — one reason two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Fitters travelling in use Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink).

Common questions

Restaurant and cafe clearance in Peckham SE15 — your questions.

  • How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Peckham SE15?

    Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Peckham on the Peckham rounds, with 28% of Peckham homes being houses, 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 Southwark bookings. 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 the streets near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building, with 31% owner-occupation locally — and Southwark parking rules in play.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Peckham SE15?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Peckham, with 23% of SE15 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Peckham most weeks for Peckham (SE15) addresses, with this being a short walk from Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink).

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Peckham?

    For SE15 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Southwark bookings, with 24,172 households on this patch. It works the same way on every Peckham (SE15) booking.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Peckham doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 72% flats neighbourhood. With 72% of Peckham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Southwark bookings, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and 28% of Peckham homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Are your fitters insured for work in SE15?

    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 on the Peckham rounds, with 46% social-rented stock nearby. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Southwark bookings, with 31% owner-occupation locally.

  • What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Peckham?

    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 the streets near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, with 72% of homes here being flats, 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 Peckham SE15 price you agree is the price you pay on Southwark bookings, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.

  • Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Peckham SE15 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 23% of Peckham privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) — and 24,172 households on this patch, with 72% of homes here being flats.
