Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for West Kensington and Olympia W14 specifically: post-war stock, 47% privately rented and 4,112 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham 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. Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.
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. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the West Kensington and Olympia stock goes, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 West Kensington and Olympia
4,112 households sit inside the W14 neighbourhood covering West Kensington and Olympia. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 95% of those homes are flats.
Because 47% of West Kensington and Olympia is privately rented and 22% socially rented, a lot of W14 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in W14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the West Kensington and Olympia stock goes, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Exhibition halls, mansion blocks and the Barons Court terraces. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. West Kensington and Olympia is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts. Nearest station is Kensington (Olympia) (District, 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 West Kensington and Olympia across W14, with Olympia London a few streets away — and 4,112 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 West Kensington and Olympia 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 for West Kensington and Olympia (W14) addresses, with 22% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 5% of West Kensington and Olympia homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in West Kensington and Olympia most weeks on this side of Hammersmith and Fulham, with 22% social-rented stock nearby.
In West Kensington and Olympia, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Olympia London, with Olympia London a few streets away. Ask for it in writing before the W14 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings. With 95% of West Kensington and Olympia homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 95% flats neighbourhood — and 5% of West Kensington and Olympia homes being houses, with 47% of W14 homes being privately rented, 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 on the streets near Olympia London, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood — and 4,112 households on this patch, 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 West Kensington and Olympia W14 price you agree is the price you pay on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings, with 4,112 households on this patch.
All three. With 47% of West Kensington and Olympia privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the W14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Hammersmith and Fulham — and 95% of homes here being flats, with 5% of West Kensington and Olympia homes being houses.
Olympia London is the marker we route to in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 31% owner-occupation locally, and event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts. A W14 slot added to an existing Hammersmith and Fulham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings, with 4,112 households on this patch.
