Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Cheam fitters · Fixed written pricesRestaurant and cafe clearance for Cheam (SM3) households — 13,016 of them, 21% in flats. From £380 fixed, two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Cheam SM3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Sutton, most of them inter-war. 13,016 households sit inside this SM3 patch, 21% of them flats, so we quote on access near Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam 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 timber stud partitions inside in SM3, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 21% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cheam actually produces in SM3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SM3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays.
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. Driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays.
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. Cheam (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SM3 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. |

Scope
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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.

Working in Cheam
Walk Cheam from Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 21% of the 13,016 households in SM3 live in flats, 79% in houses.
Private renting sits at 15% and owner-occupation at 81%; the first group books restaurant and cafe clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in SM3, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 21% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cheam actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Cheam is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SM3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays.
Two streets can behave very differently in Cheam: a village centre with timber-framed buildings and Nonsuch Park on the edge. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Cheam 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: driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays. Cheam (Southern) 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.
