Kensington and Chelsea · W11 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Holland Park fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide restaurant and cafe clearance in Holland Park W11 for houses and flats around Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden. From £380, quoted in writing before the visit, with two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.


Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Holland Park, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 80% of Holland Park's 3,387 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W11 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
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 on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
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. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Holland Park, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in W11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Holland Park actually produces.
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 Holland Park
In Holland Park (W11) the split is 80% flats to 20% houses over 3,387 households, and the stock is period conversion.
Because 43% of Holland Park is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of W11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Holland Park substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Holland Park, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in W11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Holland Park actually produces is the mistake that costs a W11 customer twice.
Wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Holland Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors — 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 Holland Park (Central).

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Holland Park most weeks for Holland Park (W11) addresses, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across W11, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Holland Park. With 80% of Holland Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Holland Park (Central) — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors across W11.

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 on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented.

Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance; Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void; Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts on W11 jobs, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier; Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Holland Park W11 price you agree is the price you pay around Holland Park (Central), with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
