Overview
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Wanstead E11 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 17% privately rented and 4,526 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Redbridge 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. Wanstead (Central) is the nearest station, so a E11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 26% one-person households in Wanstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in E11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Wanstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Conservation-area streets, driveways on most roads and timed loading on the high street.
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 Wanstead
In Wanstead (E11) the split is 30% flats to 70% houses over 4,526 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
Because 17% of Wanstead is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of E11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Wanstead substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 26% one-person households in Wanstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Wanstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a E11 customer twice.
Wanstead 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 — a village high street with Georgian houses, the park and Wanstead Flats — which is why a E11 quote is not a Redbridge average.
On access, conservation-area streets, driveways on most roads and timed loading on the high street — 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 Wanstead (Central).
