Kingston upon Thames · KT3 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local New Malden fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking restaurant and cafe clearance near The Korean high street on Burlington Road? Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays, 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 New Malden, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 30% of New Malden's 6,674 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in KT3 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. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in KT3, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood in KT3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is New Malden gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 30% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Malden actually produces.
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 most streets; the high street has short loading bays.
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.

Walls are solid London stock brick in KT3, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in New Malden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is New Malden gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 30% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Malden actually produces.
New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
