Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Southfields SW18, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Southfields SW18 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 33% privately rented and 3,815 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Southfields
Five steps, the same on every SW18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Southfields stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Southfields customers book us
What follows is specific to Southfields: its walls, its access and the paperwork Wandsworth 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. Southfields (District) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Southfields walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Southfields (District) rather than assumed from a map in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance.
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 Southfields
Fixed prices for SW18 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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 Southfields
The same scope across SW18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW18 jobs: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, agreed on the doorstep in Southfields before anything is unpacked
- In Southfields: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, timed against the walk in from Southfields (District)
- Disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, noted on the Southfields job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, allowing for the 33% of SW18 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW18 jobs: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, with 44% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Southfields: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, the way it is done on Southfields 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, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, and we will say so before the SW18 visit rather than on the day
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, outside the fixed price on Southfields bookings
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW18

Southfields SW18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Southfields — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
The SW18 stock around The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 44% flats, 56% houses and 3,815 households in Southfields.
33% of households rent privately and 61% own, which is why restaurant and cafe clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Southfields substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Southfields (District) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance is the mistake that costs a SW18 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Southfields knows the pattern near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance: the Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June. We plan the SW18 visit around it. Southfields is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and 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 Southfields (District).

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Southfields SW18 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Southfields SW18?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Southfields in this 44% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, 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 this side of Wandsworth. 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 in Southfields — and 44% of homes here being flats, with 3,815 households on this patch.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Southfields SW18?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Southfields, with 6% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Southfields most weeks on this side of Wandsworth, with 56% of Southfields homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Southfields?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Wandsworth, with The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Southfields doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Wandsworth bookings. With 44% of Southfields homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Southfields rounds — and 56% of Southfields homes being houses, with 24% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW18?
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 SW18 jobs, with 24% one-person households here. That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Southfields rounds, with 3,815 households on this patch.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Southfields?
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 around Southfields (District), with 33% of SW18 homes being privately rented — and 61% owner-occupation locally, 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 Southfields SW18 price you agree is the price you pay in Southfields, with this being a short walk from Southfields (District).
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Southfields SW18 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Southfields privately rented and 61% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW18 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Southfields (District) — and 24% one-person households here, with The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance a few streets away.
