Restaurant Cleanouts in Fort Worth

Restaurant clearances split cleanly in two: the front of house, which is furniture, and the back of house, which is heavy stainless steel bolted to a floor and connected to gas, water and extraction.

Back of house is the difficult half

Dining rooms are straightforward. Tables, chairs, banquettes, bar stools, light fittings and decor — bulky, but ordinary furniture work.

Commercial kitchens are not. Ranges, fryers, walk-in coolers, prep tables, hoods and dishwashers are extremely heavy, frequently bolted down, and connected to gas, water, drainage and extraction. All of those connections have to be isolated by a licensed trade before anything is disconnected or moved.

The other constraint is the doorway. Commercial kitchen equipment routinely goes into a space before the final wall goes up, which means getting it out sometimes needs a genuine plan rather than four people and enthusiasm.

Front of house and back of house

Dining furniture

Tables, chairs, booths, banquettes and bar stools in volume.

Bar fit-out

Back bar, under-counter units, glass shelving and dispense equipment.

Kitchen equipment

Ranges, fryers, prep tables, refrigeration and dishwashers, once isolated.

Walk-in coolers

Panel-built units dismantled where the structure allows. Refrigerant must be reclaimed first.

Extraction and hoods

Canopies and ducting where they have been disconnected by a competent trade.

Decor and signage

Fit-out, artwork, menu boards and exterior signage.

What has to happen before we arrive

Gas isolated and capped by a licensed gas fitter. Water isolated and drained. Electrical connections made safe by an electrician. Refrigerant reclaimed from any cooling equipment by a certified technician.

None of that is us being difficult. Disconnecting commercial gas or moving an uncapped refrigeration unit is genuinely dangerous and, in the case of refrigerant, illegal without certification.

  • Water isolated and lines drained

FAQ

Restaurant Cleanouts in Fort Worth — common questions

Can you disconnect the kitchen equipment?
No. Gas, water, electrical and refrigerant connections all need the appropriate licensed trade. Once the equipment is isolated and safe, we move it.
Do you take walk-in coolers?
Panel-built units can often be dismantled and removed once the refrigerant has been reclaimed by a certified technician and the unit is disconnected. Send photographs and we will confirm.
Can you work when we are closed?
Yes. Overnight, early morning and closed-day scheduling is standard for hospitality clearances.
What about grease, oil and kitchen chemicals?
Those we cannot take. Waste cooking oil, grease trap contents and cleaning chemicals need specialist collection.
