Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Wapping E1W, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Wapping E1W specifically: recent new-build stock, 48% privately rented and 6,698 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 Wapping
Five steps, the same on every E1W job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Wapping stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Prospect of Whitby and St Katharine Docks 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 Wapping customers book us
What follows is specific to Wapping: its walls, its access and the paperwork Tower Hamlets agents ask for.
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. Wapping (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1W visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Wapping walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Wapping, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E1W, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 19% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Wapping
Fixed prices for E1W 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 Wapping
The same scope across E1W, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On E1W jobs: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, agreed on the doorstep in Wapping before anything is unpacked
- In Wapping: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, timed against the walk in from Wapping (Overground)
- Disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, noted on the Wapping job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, allowing for the 48% of E1W homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E1W jobs: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, with 89% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Wapping: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, the way it is done on Wapping jobs
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 E1W
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, which we refer on to the right trade in Wapping
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, and we will say so before the E1W visit rather than on the day

Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Wapping E1W?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Wapping (Overground), with The Prospect of Whitby and St Katharine Docks a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Wapping most weeks, with 48% of E1W homes being privately rented.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Wapping, with 48% of E1W homes being privately rented.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Wapping doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Wapping. With 89% of Wapping homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Wapping (E1W) addresses — and 37% one-person households here, with 11% of Wapping homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening restaurant and cafe clearance available in Tower Hamlets?

Cobbled single-track lanes, warehouse hoists and lift-free upper floors in listed buildings across E1W. 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 on this side of Tower Hamlets — and Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Are your fitters insured for work in E1W?
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 this side of Tower Hamlets, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory.
