Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Gospel Oak NW5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 3,330 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden 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
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. Tower blocks with one working lift, steep approach roads and permit bays.
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. Gospel Oak (Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Gospel Oak (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in NW5, 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, as the Gospel Oak stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.

Working in Gospel Oak
Gospel Oak NW5 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 78% of homes here are flats and 22% are houses, across 3,330 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 30% private renting against 43% owner-occupied, most NW5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Gospel Oak (Overground) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Gospel Oak is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Gospel Oak stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Heath-edge streets, the lido and a mix of estate towers and Victorian terraces. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Gospel Oak sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, tower blocks with one working lift, steep approach roads and permit bays — one reason two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Fitters travelling in use Gospel Oak (Overground).

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Camden bookings, with 30% of NW5 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Gospel Oak most weeks in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with Parliament Hill Lido a few streets away.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Camden, with 22% of Gospel Oak homes being houses.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Gospel Oak rounds. With 78% of Gospel Oak homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Camden bookings, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Tower blocks with one working lift, steep approach roads and permit bays around Gospel Oak (Overground).

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 in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with 43% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, 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. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Gospel Oak NW5 price you agree is the price you pay on Camden bookings, with 27% social-rented stock nearby.
