Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for North Harrow and Rayners Lane HA2 specifically: inter-war stock, 20% privately rented and 2,329 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. Rayners Lane (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a HA2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, the pattern behind 2,329 households inside the HA2 neighbourhood in HA2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is North Harrow and Rayners Lane gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 20% 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. Driveways nearly everywhere; only the parades have restricted bays.
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.

North Harrow and Rayners Lane is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways nearly everywhere; only the parades have restricted bays. Rayners Lane (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.
