If you’re upgrading, decommissioning, or closing down a commercial kitchen, handling the disposal of stainless steel units, appliances, and catering equipment can be a challenge. At London and Surrey Metal Recycling, we specialise in the removal, collection, and recycling of commercial kitchen materials, ensuring all items are processed responsibly. Our team works with restaurants, hotels, cafes, catering businesses, and industrial kitchens, helping them clear out old or unwanted equipment in a safe and sustainable manner.
We offer fast and efficient collection services for all types of commercial kitchen equipment, including cookers, extraction systems, refrigerators, dishwashers, stainless steel worktops, and shelving units. Our environmentally friendly approach ensures that metals and other recyclable materials are processed properly, reducing waste and promoting reuse. Whether you need a single unit removal or a full commercial kitchen strip-out, we provide a cost-effective and compliant solution that keeps your business running smoothly.
We strip out and recycle the full range of commercial kitchen equipment including stainless steel preparation tables and countertops, commercial ovens, ranges, grills, and fryers, refrigeration units and walk-in cold rooms, dishwashers and glasswashers, extraction canopies and ductwork, and stainless steel sinks and shelving. We handle all makes and configurations across London and Surrey.
The duration depends on the size of the kitchen and the volume of equipment being removed. A small café or restaurant kitchen can typically be stripped in a single day. Larger commercial kitchens in hotels, schools, hospitals, or industrial catering facilities may require two to three days. We assess the project before commencing work and give you a clear programme so you can plan around the clearance.
Yes. Refrigeration units, cold rooms, and certain commercial appliances contain refrigerant gases that require safe recovery before the equipment can be recycled. We work in compliance with F-Gas regulations and ensure all refrigerants are handled by appropriately certified engineers before the equipment is stripped. You will not be left with compliance liability from the disposal of refrigerant-containing equipment.
Yes. We understand that restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses often cannot afford to close for an extended period during a strip-out. We can schedule work for early mornings, evenings, and weekends to minimise disruption to your operations. Discuss your timing requirements with us when booking and we will accommodate your schedule wherever possible.
Yes. We provide a waste transfer note for every commercial kitchen strip-out, confirming the type and volume of materials removed and the responsible recycling destination. This documentation is a legal requirement under the Environmental Protection Act and is important for your own records, particularly if you are subject to environmental audits or sustainability reporting obligations.
