Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Bow E3, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Bow E3 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 22,995 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Bow
Five steps, the same on every E3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In E3, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map 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 Bow customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Bow wall.
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. Bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates.
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. Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a E3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bow walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 40% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E3, 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, as the Bow stock goes, which is what a 85% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bow actually produces.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Bow
Fixed prices for E3 and the rest of Tower Hamlets. 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 Bow
The same scope across E3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Bow: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, timed against the walk in from Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City)
- On E3 jobs: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, agreed on the doorstep in Bow before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, allowing for the 31% of E3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, noted on the Bow job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Bow: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, sized for the bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates
- On E3 jobs: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, restaurant and cafe clearance included
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 E3
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, outside the fixed price on Bow bookings
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, and we will say so before the E3 visit rather than on the day
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead

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.

Bow E3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bow — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
22,995 households sit inside the E3 neighbourhood covering Bow. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 85% of those homes are flats.
Because 31% of Bow is privately rented and 40% socially rented, a lot of E3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 40% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Bow is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Bow stock goes, which is what a 85% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bow actually produces.
Roman Road market, Bow Quarter's match-factory lofts and canal-side streets. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Bow 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, bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates — 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 Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City).

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Bow E3 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Bow E3?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Bow around Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City), with 31% of E3 homes being privately rented, 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 across E3. 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 Bow rounds — and 30% one-person households here, with 15% of Bow homes being houses.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Bow E3?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on E3 jobs, with 22,995 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Bow most weeks on the Bow rounds, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Bow?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City), with 30% one-person households here.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Bow doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on E3 jobs. With 85% of Bow homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Bow rounds, with 40% social-rented stock nearby — and 85% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Bow?
Bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates around Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City). Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Tower Hamlets it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Bow — and this being a short walk from Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City), with Bow Quarter, the former Bryant and May match factory a few streets away.
Are your fitters insured for work in E3?
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 in Bow, with 15% of Bow homes being houses. That paperwork is what most Tower Hamlets letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City), with 40% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Bow?
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 Bow (E3) addresses — and 40% social-rented stock nearby, with 31% of E3 homes being privately rented, 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 Bow E3 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Bow Quarter, the former Bryant and May match factory, with this being a short walk from Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City).
