Newham · E13 · Restaurant and cafe clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Plaistow fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide restaurant and cafe clearance in Plaistow E13 for houses and flats around Plaistow Park. 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 social-housing-led households around Plaistow, restaurant and cafe clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £380. With 43% of Plaistow's 10,311 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E13 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. Plaistow (District, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a E13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Plaistow, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Plaistow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 33% 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. Very narrow streets, no off-street parking and permit bays throughout.
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. |

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 Plaistow
In Plaistow (E13) the split is 43% flats to 57% houses over 10,311 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 33% of Plaistow is privately rented and 33% socially rented, a lot of E13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Plaistow substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Plaistow, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Plaistow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E13 customer twice.
Plaistow is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — dense terraced housing, Balaam Street's shops and a strong community feel — which is why a E13 quote is not a Newham average.
Very narrow streets, no off-street parking and permit bays throughout. Nearest station is Plaistow (District, Hammersmith & City), and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.
