Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Hanwell W7 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 3,219 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing 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
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere.
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. Hanwell (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a W7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Hanwell, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct in W7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Hanwell (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map.

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. |

Scope
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 Hanwell
Census 2021 puts Hanwell at 3,219 households with a median age of 38. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 55% houses and 45% flats need different handling in W7.
Private renting sits at 31% and owner-occupation at 55%; the first group books restaurant and cafe clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Hanwell, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct, so the fixing that matters in Hanwell is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Hanwell (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Hanwell knows the pattern near The Wharncliffe Viaduct: the Wharncliffe Viaduct, the Brent valley and a village-like clock tower centre. We plan the W7 visit around it. Hanwell is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. Hanwell (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, 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 Hanwell on W7 jobs, with 3,219 households on this patch, 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 the Hanwell rounds. 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 across W7 — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, with 55% of Hanwell homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Hanwell (Elizabeth line), with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hanwell most weeks, with this being a short walk from Hanwell (Elizabeth line).
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 Ealing, with 14% social-rented stock nearby. Near The Wharncliffe Viaduct that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Hanwell (Elizabeth line). With 45% of Hanwell homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Hanwell — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 45% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 on W7 jobs, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most Ealing letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Hanwell rounds, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory.
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 the streets near The Wharncliffe Viaduct — and 45% of homes here being flats, with 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 Hanwell W7 price you agree is the price you pay across W7, with 3,219 households on this patch.
All three. With 31% of Hanwell privately rented and 55% owner-occupied, roughly half the W7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on W7 jobs — and The Wharncliffe Viaduct a few streets away, with 45% of homes here being flats.
