Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for North Kensington W10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 23% privately rented and 3,820 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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. Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,820 households inside the W10 neighbourhood in W10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is North Kensington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 23% 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. Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks.
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. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →

Working in North Kensington
3,820 households sit inside the W10 neighbourhood covering North Kensington. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 81% of those homes are flats.
Because 23% of North Kensington is privately rented and 46% socially rented, a lot of W10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,820 households inside the W10 neighbourhood behind the plaster in W10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why North Kensington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 23% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
North Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — dense residential streets between the Westway and Wormwood Scrubs — which is why a W10 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks. Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) 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.

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in North Kensington on the North Kensington rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, 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 for North Kensington (W10) addresses. 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 on the streets near The Westway Sports Centre — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, with 3,820 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W10 jobs, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in North Kensington most weeks on the North Kensington rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for North Kensington (W10) addresses, with 81% of homes here being flats.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Kensington and Chelsea bookings. With 81% of North Kensington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 81% flats neighbourhood, with 39% one-person households here — and 81% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 the North Kensington rounds — and 31% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, 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 North Kensington W10 price you agree is the price you pay on W10 jobs, with 3,820 households on this patch.
All three. With 23% of North Kensington privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the W10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across W10 — and 23% of W10 homes being privately rented, with 19% of North Kensington homes being houses.
The Westway Sports Centre is the marker we route to on W10 jobs, with this being a short walk from Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City), and westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks. A W10 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City), with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
