Brent · NW10 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Harlesden fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking restaurant and cafe clearance near The Jubilee Clock? Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £380 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Harlesden NW10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 41% privately rented and 5,538 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
Step 1
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
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
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
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. Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 5,538 households inside the NW10 neighbourhood in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Harlesden gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 24% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only.
Fixed prices
| 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. |

The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times.

Working in Harlesden
In Harlesden (NW10) the split is 78% flats to 22% houses over 5,538 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 41% of Harlesden is privately rented and 35% socially rented, a lot of NW10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 5,538 households inside the NW10 neighbourhood behind the plaster in NW10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Harlesden gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 24% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Harlesden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — jubilee Clock, Caribbean food shops and a working high street — which is why a NW10 quote is not a Brent average.
Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. Nearest station is Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Harlesden across NW10, with 35% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The number of plumbed and gas-connected appliances, not the floor area on this side of Brent.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near The Jubilee Clock, with 35% social-rented stock nearby. On Harlesden jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on NW10 jobs. With 78% of Harlesden homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Harlesden rounds — and 24% owner-occupation locally, with 41% of NW10 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only on NW10 jobs.

Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance; Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void; Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts on this side of Brent, with this being London Borough of Brent territory — and 34% one-person households here, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier; Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately.
