Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Hackney Wick E9 specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 2,805 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hackney 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. Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures.
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. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 2,805 households inside the E9 neighbourhood in E9, 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, as the Hackney Wick stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
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. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →

Working in Hackney Wick
2,805 households sit inside the E9 neighbourhood covering Hackney Wick. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 69% of those homes are flats.
Because 28% of Hackney Wick is privately rented and 45% socially rented, a lot of E9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Hackney Wick substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 2,805 households inside the E9 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hackney Wick stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is the mistake that costs a E9 customer twice.
Canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures. Nearest station is Hackney Wick (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 Hackney Wick on the streets near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with 28% of E9 homes being privately rented, 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 Hackney bookings. 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 in Hackney Wick — and this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground), with 31% of Hackney Wick homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across E9, with 31% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hackney Wick most weeks around Hackney Wick (Overground), with 2,805 households on this patch.
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 Hackney, with this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across E9. With 69% of Hackney Wick homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and Hackney parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 across E9, with 31% one-person households here — and this being London Borough of Hackney territory, 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 Hackney Wick E9 price you agree is the price you pay on the Hackney Wick rounds, with Hackney parking rules in play.
All three. With 28% of Hackney Wick privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the E9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Hackney Wick (E9) addresses — and 28% of E9 homes being privately rented, with 31% of Hackney Wick homes being houses.
The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is the marker we route to on E9 jobs — and this being London Borough of Hackney territory, with Hackney parking rules in play, and narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures. A E9 slot added to an existing Hackney round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with 69% of homes here being flats.
