Camden · NW6 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Hampstead fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide restaurant and cafe clearance in West Hampstead NW6 for houses and flats around West End Lane. From £380, quoted in writing before the visit, with two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in West Hampstead NW6 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 4,309 households sit inside this NW6 patch, 88% of them flats, so we quote on access near West End Lane rather than a London average.
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. West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in NW6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW6, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts.
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 West Hampstead
In West Hampstead (NW6) the split is 88% flats to 12% houses over 4,309 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (30% owned, 49% privately rented) means a NW6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in West Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW6, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
West Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — three stations, a busy high street and streets of red-brick Victorian conversions — which is why a NW6 quote is not a Camden average.
On access, very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts — 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 West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink).
