Havering · RM12 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Elm Park fitters · Fixed written pricesElm Park RM12 is a regular stop on our Havering round. A 1930s planned suburb built around its parade and station, so restaurant and cafe clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £380, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Elm Park, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 17% of Elm Park's 6,250 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM12 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
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in RM12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM12, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and wide roads and driveways; the broadway has short loading bays.
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 roads and driveways; the Broadway has short loading bays.
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. Elm Park (District) is the nearest station, so a RM12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

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.

Working in Elm Park
Walk Elm Park from Elm Park Broadway outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 17% of the 6,250 households in RM12 live in flats, 83% in houses.
14% of households rent privately and 76% own, which is why restaurant and cafe clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in RM12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in RM12, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and wide roads and driveways; the broadway has short loading bays is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Elm Park: a 1930s planned suburb built around its parade and station. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Elm Park 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: wide roads and driveways; the Broadway has short loading bays. Elm Park (District) 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.
