What we look at when valuing

Doors & millworkWhether it comes with its frame (head track, sill and jambs) or door only. Any warping or misalignment, and whether it’s solid or reclaimed timber.
Timber, slabs & flooringThickness, length and any cracks. For flooring, whether there’s a sizeable quantity.
FurnitureHow many matching chairs or tables you have, any wobble, and seat wear. Worn seats can often be reupholstered.
Fixtures & storageWhether it’s a standard size, accessories such as doors, shelves and keys, and any cracked or chipped glass.
Japanese antiquesDesign and rarity matter more than age. For one-of-a-kind pieces, send us photos first.
LightingWhether it lights up, socket type and voltage, and accessories such as shades and chains.
Décor & signageExtent of damage, and the condition of neon tubes and power supplies. We sometimes repair signage in our own workshop and resell it.
Building equipmentToilets, urinals, exhaust fans, grease traps and more. Condition, model number, and whether plumbing and electrics have been disconnected (this must be done by a licensed tradesperson).
Kitchen equipmentSome items or conditions fall outside what we buy. Ask us first.

Our Workshop

Restored in our own workshop, then on to the next restaurant.

At Tenpos Kawaguchi, nothing we buy goes straight onto the shop floor. Every piece is inspected, cleaned and repaired in our own workshop before it’s resold. Because we can restore what we buy, we can put a value on doors, signage and well-used furniture that others won’t price.

  1. Chairs we have bought back
    01

    Buyback & pickup

    We check condition and quantity from your photos and an on-site valuation, then collect by large truck. A good-sized set of matching chairs also works in your favour.

  2. Restoration work in our workshop
    02

    Restored in our workshop

    We fix wobbles, sand and refinish surfaces, repair signage and more — getting every piece ready for service again. We reupholster seats, too.

  3. Doors on display in the store

    To the store — and the next restaurant

    Restored materials go from our 1,254 sqm Kawaguchi store and online shop to the next restaurant opening its doors. Sellers cut disposal costs; new owners open for less.

How buyback works

Just send photos and we’ll tell you whether we can buy it, with a rough estimate. Valuation and consultation are free.

01

Enquiry & photo valuation

Send us the items, quantities and photos via the form. From the photos, we’ll tell you whether we can buy and give you a rough estimate.

02

On-site valuation

We check condition, quantity and the removal route on site, then quote a price based on demand.

03

Pickup & payment

We collect large items by truck and pay on the spot.

Before the valuation — a few things that speed things up

  • Take photos of each piece as a whole, plus any damage
  • List items and quantities (e.g. 20 chairs, 8 tables)
  • Wipe off dust and grease
  • Gather accessories such as shelves, parts and remote controls
  • While power and water are still on, check that lights and fans work

Pickup

On-site buyback, large items included.

We handle large-truck pickup and on-site work. Fixtures and furniture that are hard to move out, we take away in one go.

On-site buyback Large-truck pickup Whole-restaurant clearance From a single item

For closing or renovating restaurants, and demolition contractors.

Throw it away and it costs you; sell it and it pays. The key is timing: get a valuation before demolition or strip-out. Demolish first, and doors and fixtures that could have sold end up in the skip. Beyond closing or renovating restaurants, we also buy from demolition contractors and demolition sites.
