Camden · NW1 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Camden Town fitters · Fixed written pricesRestaurant and cafe clearance in Camden Town NW1, Camden, from £380. Market crowds, canal-side stalls and Victorian terraces packed with shared houses and flats, which is why our NW1 quotes account for market congestion all weekend, seven-day CPZ and narrow streets where a Luton has to double-park with a marshal. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Camden Town, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 86% of Camden Town's 2,940 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW1 shape the slot length we hold.
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
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Market congestion all weekend, seven-day CPZ and narrow streets where a Luton has to double-park with a marshal.
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. Camden Town (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Camden Town, often with surface conduit — with 30% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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
| 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. |

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.

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Camden Town on this side of Camden, with Camden parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.
