Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Cricklewood NW2, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Cricklewood NW2 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 47% privately rented and 4,362 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Brent permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Cricklewood
Five steps, the same on every NW2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Cricklewood stock goes, and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site visit and equipment list
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
Gas and electrical sign-off confirmed
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
Kitchen stripped in sequence
Fridges and cold rooms first for degassing, then cooking equipment, then extraction, so the crew is never waiting on a certificate mid-job.
Step 4
Grease trap and drainage cleared
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Front-of-house and final sweep
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
Why Cricklewood customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Cricklewood wall.
Booked around your day
Three to five working days where degassing and Gas Safe sign-off need to be arranged first; a front-of-house-only clear can often be booked within 48 hours. Cricklewood (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cricklewood walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in NW2, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in NW2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 4,362 households inside the NW2 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier with F-gas certified degassing for refrigeration and licensed disposal for grease trap waste, both receipted separately from the general transfer note.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Cricklewood
Fixed prices for NW2 and the rest of Brent. The number of plumbed and gas-connected appliances, not the floor area. A small unit with a full kitchen and a grease trap can cost more to clear than a larger unit that only ever served coffee and cake.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front-of-house strip-out, small unit | £380 | 3–4 hrs | Tables, chairs, till point and soft furnishings cleared from a café-sized unit under around 800 sq ft. |
| Commercial kitchen equipment removal, per item | £65 | 20–30 min | Ovens, fryers and prep tables are heavy, often plumbed or hard-wired, and need disconnection before they can be moved safely. |
| Refrigeration and F-gas degassing, per unit | £95 | 30–45 min | Fridges and cold rooms holding refrigerant must be certified degassed before removal, which is a licensed job, not a lift-and-carry one. |
| Grease trap emptying and removal | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Trapped fat, oil and grease is controlled waste that has to go to a licensed treatment facility, and the trap itself is often built into the drainage and needs careful disconnection. |
| Extraction canopy and ductwork removal | £340 | half day | Canopy, ductwork and filters are usually the last things fitted and the hardest to remove, often needing access equipment for ceiling-height runs. |
| Full unit closure clearance | £680 | 1 day | Kitchen, front-of-house and cellar cleared and swept in one visit for a lease handover, priced against the full inventory rather than by room. |

Included in the price
- On NW2 jobs: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, with 74% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift

- Disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal — including restaurant and cafe clearance
- Standard on Brent bookings: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, arranged with London Borough of Brent where the kerb needs it

Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, handled by London Borough of Brent or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, and we will say so before the NW2 visit rather than on the day
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, outside the fixed price on Cricklewood bookings
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW2

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.

Will a built wardrobe fit through a Cricklewood doorway?
