Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Teddington TW11 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Victorian. 10,821 households sit inside this TW11 patch, 46% of them flats, so we quote on access near Teddington Lock and Bushy Park rather than a London average.
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. Narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways.
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. Teddington (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Teddington, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 32% one-person households in Teddington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in TW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways.
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.

Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Teddington around Teddington (South Western), with 46% of homes here being flats, 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 on TW11 jobs. 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 this side of Richmond upon Thames — and 25% of TW11 homes being privately rented, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Teddington most weeks on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 10,821 households on this patch.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory. London Borough of Richmond upon Thames rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Teddington (TW11) addresses. With 46% of Teddington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play — and 10,821 households on this patch, 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 in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with Teddington Lock and Bushy Park a few streets away. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 54% of Teddington homes being houses.
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 in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood — and 54% of Teddington homes being houses, 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 Teddington TW11 price you agree is the price you pay on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 10,821 households on this patch.
All three. With 25% of Teddington privately rented and 65% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 46% flats neighbourhood — and 54% of Teddington homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Teddington (South Western).
