Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Burnt Oak HA8 specifically: post-war stock, 31% privately rented and 4,210 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Harrow 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
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. Burnt Oak (Northern) is the nearest station, so a HA8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Burnt Oak (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in HA8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Burnt Oak gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Wide estate roads with parking; the A5 shopping stretch has short loading windows.
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.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Working in Burnt Oak
Burnt Oak HA8 is post-war and social-housing-led: 42% of homes here are flats and 58% are houses, across 4,210 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 31% of Burnt Oak is privately rented and 31% socially rented, a lot of HA8 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Burnt Oak substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Burnt Oak (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Burnt Oak gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a HA8 customer twice.
Burnt Oak 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 — watling estate cottages and a busy market-style high street on the A5 — which is why a HA8 quote is not a Harrow average.
Wide estate roads with parking; the A5 shopping stretch has short loading windows. Nearest station is Burnt Oak (Northern), and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.
