Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Hoxton N1, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Hoxton N1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 7,353 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
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Hoxton
Five steps, the same on every N1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Hoxton stock goes, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site visit and equipment list
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
Gas and electrical sign-off confirmed
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
Kitchen stripped in sequence
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
Grease trap and drainage cleared
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Front-of-house and final sweep
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
Why Hoxton customers book us
Four things decide whether a N1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
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. Hoxton (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hoxton walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Museum of the Home in N1, 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 — measured on the walk in from Hoxton (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Hoxton
Fixed prices for N1 and the rest of Hackney. The number of plumbed and gas-connected appliances, not the floor area. 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.
| 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
What's included in Hoxton
The same scope across N1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On N1 jobs: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, agreed on the doorstep in Hoxton before anything is unpacked
- In Hoxton: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, timed against the walk in from Hoxton (Overground)
- Disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, noted on the Hoxton job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Hackney bookings: extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, allowing for the 33% of N1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On N1 jobs: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, with 96% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Hoxton: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, the way it is done on Hoxton jobs
Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N1
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, which we refer on to the right trade in Hoxton
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, handled by London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, and we will say so before the N1 visit rather than on the day

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.

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Museum of the Home, so the fixing that matters in Hoxton is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Hoxton (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Hoxton knows the pattern near The Museum of the Home: hoxton Square, Geffrye Museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops. We plan the N1 visit around it.

Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. Nearest station is Hoxton (Overground), and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Hoxton N1 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Hoxton N1?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Hoxton on the streets near The Museum of the Home, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory, 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 N1 jobs. 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 on this side of Hackney — and 96% of homes here being flats, with 7,353 households on this patch.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Hoxton N1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Hoxton (N1) addresses, with 45% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hoxton most weeks on the streets near The Museum of the Home, with 3% of Hoxton homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Hoxton?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Hoxton (N1) addresses, with The Museum of the Home a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Hoxton doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Museum of the Home. With 96% of Hoxton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across N1, with Hackney parking rules in play — and this being London Borough of Hackney territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in N1?
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 the streets near The Museum of the Home, with 33% of N1 homes being privately rented. That paperwork is what most Hackney letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Hoxton (N1) addresses, with The Museum of the Home a few streets away.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Hoxton?
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 Museum of the Home, with this being a short walk from Hoxton (Overground) — and Hackney parking rules in play, 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 Hoxton N1 price you agree is the price you pay on Hackney bookings, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
Who books restaurant and cafe clearance in Hoxton N1 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Hoxton privately rented and 22% owner-occupied, roughly half the N1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Hoxton (N1) addresses — and 3% of Hoxton homes being houses, with Hackney parking rules in play.
