Hackney · E9 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Victoria Park fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide restaurant and cafe clearance in Victoria Park E9 for houses and flats around Victoria Park. 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
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Cambridge Heath, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 69% of Victoria Park's 3,540 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E9 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Cambridge Heath (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 Victoria Park, often with surface conduit, with 56% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Victoria Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 69% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Victoria Park actually produces.
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. Park-perimeter loading limits, LTN filters and narrow terraced streets.
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.

Working in Victoria Park
3,540 households sit inside the E9 neighbourhood covering Victoria Park. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 69% of those homes are flats.
Because 19% of Victoria Park is privately rented and 56% socially rented, a lot of E9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Victoria Park substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Victoria Park, often with surface conduit, with 56% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Victoria Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 69% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Victoria Park actually produces is the mistake that costs a E9 customer twice.
Victoria Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the People's Park with Georgian and Victorian terraces on all sides — which is why a E9 quote is not a Hackney average.
On access, park-perimeter loading limits, LTN filters and narrow terraced streets — 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 Cambridge Heath (Overground).
