Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around East Ham, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 35% of East Ham's 14,239 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E6 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
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. High street loading windows, terraced streets with permit bays and tight rear alleys.
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. East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a E6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
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 East Ham
Census 2021 puts East Ham at 14,239 households with a median age of 32.5. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 65% houses and 35% flats need different handling in E6.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 42%; the first group books restaurant and cafe clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in E6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows East Ham knows the pattern near East Ham Nature Reserve at St Mary Magdalene: high Street North's shops, the Victorian town hall and the nature reserve churchyard. We plan the E6 visit around it. East Ham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: high street loading windows, terraced streets with permit bays and tight rear alleys. East Ham (District, 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 East Ham on Newham bookings, with 42% owner-occupation locally, 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 in this 35% flats neighbourhood. 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 E6 jobs — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with 65% of East Ham homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the East Ham rounds, with 42% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in East Ham most weeks on E6 jobs, with 20% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Newham, with 20% social-rented stock nearby. London Borough of Newham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the East Ham rounds. With 35% of East Ham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on E6 jobs, with East Ham Nature Reserve at St Mary Magdalene a few streets away — and 38% of E6 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 Newham bookings, with 14,239 households on this patch. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near East Ham Nature Reserve at St Mary Magdalene, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
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 E6 jobs — and East Ham Nature Reserve at St Mary Magdalene a few streets away, with a median age of 33 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 East Ham E6 price you agree is the price you pay around East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City), with 14,239 households on this patch.
All three. With 38% of East Ham privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the E6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in East Ham — and 35% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City).
