Havering · RM2 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Gidea Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking restaurant and cafe clearance near The Gidea Park Exhibition Estate? Long driveways, gated entrances and quiet wide roads — easy for any van, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £380 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Gidea Park, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 37% of Gidea Park's 3,958 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM2 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. Gidea Park (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Gidea Park, cavity brickwork outside, measured on the walk in from Gidea Park (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in RM2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Gidea Park gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Long driveways, gated entrances and quiet wide roads — easy for any van.
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 Gidea Park
3,958 households sit inside the RM2 neighbourhood covering Gidea Park. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 37% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (71% owned, 19% privately rented) means a RM2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Gidea Park substrates run to timber stud partitions inside in Gidea Park, cavity brickwork outside, measured on the walk in from Gidea Park (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Gidea Park gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a RM2 customer twice.
Gidea 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 1911 Garden Suburb exhibition estate of Arts and Crafts houses — which is why a RM2 quote is not a Havering average.
On access, long driveways, gated entrances and quiet wide roads — easy for any van — 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 Gidea Park (Elizabeth line).
