Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Ickenham fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for restaurant and cafe clearance in Ickenham UB10? We work in Ickenham most weeks — a village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing — and price restaurant and cafe clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £380, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.


Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Ickenham UB10 specifically: inter-war stock, 14% privately rented and 2,922 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hillingdon 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. Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
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. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Ickenham, cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Hillingdon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Ickenham stock goes, where 82% 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.

Working in Ickenham
In Ickenham (UB10) the split is 12% flats to 88% houses over 2,922 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 14% of Ickenham is privately rented and 4% socially rented, a lot of UB10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in Ickenham, cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Hillingdon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in UB10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Ickenham stock goes, where 82% 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.
A village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet — 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 Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Ickenham on UB10 jobs, with Ickenham village pump a few streets away, 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 around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly). 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 across UB10 — and 88% of Ickenham homes being houses, with 4% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Hillingdon, with 23% one-person households here.

With 12% of Ickenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Hillingdon, with 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Ickenham village pump is the marker we route to in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 12% of homes here being flats, and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
