What commercial kitchen equipment do you strip out and recycle?

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.

How long does a commercial kitchen strip-out take?

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.

Do you handle the disposal of refrigerants in commercial kitchen equipment?

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.

Can you carry out commercial kitchen strip-outs outside of business hours in London?

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.

Do you provide a waste transfer note for commercial kitchen strip-outs?

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.
