Overview
Retail and shop clearance in Cranham RM14, explained
This page prices retail and shop clearance for Cranham RM14 specifically: mixed-era stock, 10% privately rented and 5,823 households in total. Work starts at £320, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Havering permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How retail and shop clearance works in Cranham
Five steps, the same on every RM14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Cranham gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Unit walk-round
Fixtures, stock and signage listed with a keep, recycle or destroy decision against each so nothing usable is thrown out by mistake.
Step 2
Trading hours agreed
Where the unit is still open, work is scheduled overnight or after close so customers are never affected.
Step 3
Fixtures stripped and segregated
Gondolas, till points and back-of-house furniture removed by type, keeping steel, timber and electricals separate for correct disposal.
Step 4
Signage and fascia removed
External branding taken down carefully, particularly on conservation-area shopfronts where the original frontage has to stay undamaged.
Step 5
Sweep and handover
Unit swept, photographed and the transfer note and any destruction certificates issued for the exit file.
Why choose us
Why Cranham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Cranham wall.
Booked around your day
Two to three working days for a scheduled unit clear, next day where a lease exit has moved forward. Overnight and out-of-hours slots are available for units still trading. Upminster (District, c2c) is the nearest station, so a RM14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cranham walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and the easiest access in london — wide roads, drives and level thresholds in RM14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM14, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 5,823 households inside the RM14 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note per visit, with certificates of destruction available for branded stock and WEEE routing for tills and EPOS hardware.
Fixed prices
Retail and shop clearance prices in Cranham
Fixed prices for RM14 and the rest of Havering. The amount of fixed shopfitting rather than floor area — a unit stripped back to a bare shell already is quicker and cheaper than one with a full gondola run and a fitted till counter still in place.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small unit clearance, up to 800 sq ft | £320 | 3–4 hrs | Shelving, till point and residual stock cleared from a small format unit such as a kiosk or convenience shop. |
| Gondola and shelving removal, per run | £45 | 20–30 min | Retail shelving is bolted and baseplate-fixed, taking longer to dismantle safely than to carry once it is down. |
| Till point and EPOS equipment removal | £60 | 20–30 min | Tills, card readers and back-office IT are WEEE-classified and are removed for certified data destruction where requested. |
| Branded signage and shopfront fascia removal | £280 | half day | External fascia often needs access equipment and, on a listed or conservation-area building, care not to damage the shopfront underneath. |
| Full unit clearance, 800–2,500 sq ft | £780 | 1 day | A mid-size unit with fixtures, stockroom and back-of-house furniture cleared in one visit to meet a lease exit date. |
| Residual stock destruction with certificate | £190 | 1–2 hrs | End-of-line or damaged stock destroyed rather than resold, with a certificate of destruction issued so branded goods do not resurface elsewhere. |

Scope
What's included in Cranham
The same scope across RM14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Shopfitting removed and segregated — steel gondolas, timber units and glazing kept as separate waste streams, noted on the Cranham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Havering bookings: wEEE-compliant removal of tills, EPOS terminals and back-office electricals, allowing for the 10% of RM14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On RM14 jobs: certificate of destruction issued on request for branded stock, packaging or point-of-sale material, agreed on the doorstep in Cranham before anything is unpacked
- In Cranham: signage and fascia removal, including access equipment for shopfronts above street level, timed against the walk in from Upminster (District, c2c)
- Work scheduled around trading hours or overnight where the unit needs to stay open until the last day — including retail and shop clearance prices
- Standard on Havering bookings: photographic handover pack and waste transfer note for the lease exit file, arranged with London Borough of Havering where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Reinstatement of the shopfront, flooring or ceiling once fixtures are removed, and we will say so before the RM14 visit rather than on the day
- Alarm, CCTV or till system decommissioning with the provider, which is arranged separately, outside the fixed price on Cranham bookings
- Scaffold or a road closure for fascia work above the first floor, which is quoted as its own line, which we refer on to the right trade in Cranham
- Stock resale or consignment — we clear, recycle or destroy, we do not act as a stock liquidator, handled by London Borough of Havering 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.

Common questions
Retail and shop clearance in Cranham RM14 — your questions.
How much does retail and shop clearance cost in Cranham RM14?
Small unit clearance, up to 800 sq ft starts at £320 in Cranham on the Cranham rounds — and 5,823 households on this patch, with 25% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The amount of fixed shopfitting rather than floor area — a unit stripped back to a bare shell already is quicker and cheaper than one with a full gondola run and a fitted till counter still in place across RM14 — and 12% of homes here being flats, with 5,823 households on this patch.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Cranham RM14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Cranham rounds, with 10% of RM14 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Cranham most weeks for Cranham (RM14) addresses, with this being London Borough of Havering territory.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Cranham?
For RM14 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 12% of homes here being flats. It works the same way on every Cranham (RM14) booking.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Cranham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 12% flats neighbourhood. With 12% of Cranham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Havering bookings, with 10% of RM14 homes being privately rented — and 86% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening retail and shop clearance available in Havering?
Two to three working days for a scheduled unit clear, next day where a lease exit has moved forward on the Cranham rounds, with 5,823 households on this patch. Overnight and out-of-hours slots are available for units still trading on Havering bookings. Cranham sits close to Upminster (District, c2c), with this being London Borough of Havering territory, so we can usually add a RM14 job to an existing Havering round at short notice on the streets near Cranham Marsh nature reserve.
Do you handle difficult access in Cranham?
The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds on the streets near Cranham Marsh nature reserve. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Havering it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards across RM14 — and 88% of Cranham homes being houses, with 10% of RM14 homes being privately rented.
Are your fitters insured for work in RM14?
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note per visit around Upminster (District, c2c), with 5% social-rented stock nearby, with certificates of destruction available for branded stock and WEEE routing for tills and EPOS hardware. That paperwork is what most Havering letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on RM14 jobs, with 86% owner-occupation locally.
