Overview
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Marylebone W1, explained
This page prices restaurant and cafe clearance for Marylebone W1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 57% privately rented and 3,555 households in total. Work starts at £380, fixed in writing, with parking and Westminster City Council permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How restaurant and cafe clearance works in Marylebone
Five steps, the same on every W1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In W1, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — measured on the walk in from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site visit and equipment list
Every appliance, fridge and fixture is listed against a disconnect-and-remove plan before a date is booked.
Step 2
Gas and electrical sign-off confirmed
We wait for written confirmation that appliances are isolated by a qualified engineer before moving them.
Step 3
Kitchen stripped in sequence
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
Grease trap and drainage cleared
Trap emptied and removed by a licensed handler, with the disposal note kept for the site file.
Step 5
Front-of-house and final sweep
Tables, chairs and fittings cleared, unit swept and photographed for the landlord handover.
Why choose us
Why Marylebone customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Marylebone wall.
Crew sized to the job
Two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment. Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts.
Booked around your day
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. Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Marylebone walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Marylebone, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 47% one-person households in Marylebone, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Marylebone stock goes, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Restaurant and cafe clearance prices in Marylebone
Fixed prices for W1 and the rest of Westminster. The number of plumbed and gas-connected appliances, not the floor area. 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.
| 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. |

Scope
What's included in Marylebone
The same scope across W1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Marylebone: certified F-gas degassing before any refrigeration or cold room is removed, the way it is done on Marylebone jobs
- On W1 jobs: grease trap emptying and disposal to a licensed food-waste treatment facility, agreed on the doorstep in Marylebone before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Westminster bookings: disconnection of gas and electrical appliances confirmed with a qualified engineer before removal, allowing for the 57% of W1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Extraction canopy, ductwork and filter removal, including access equipment where ceiling height requires it, noted on the Marylebone job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Marylebone: segregation of stainless steel and scrap catering equipment for recycling credit where applicable, sized for the estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts
- On W1 jobs: waste transfer note and, where requested, a certificate of destruction for branded signage and menus, restaurant and cafe clearance london included
Not included
- Gas safe disconnection itself, which must be carried out or signed off by a Gas Safe engineer before we remove the appliance, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W1
- Structural kitchen extract ducting that runs through the building fabric beyond the unit's own ceiling void, outside the fixed price on Marylebone bookings
- Cellar cooling and beer line servicing contracts, which are usually held directly with the brewery or supplier, and we will say so before the W1 visit rather than on the day
- Licensed premises signage removal that requires scaffold or a road closure, which is quoted separately, handled by Westminster City Council or a specialist contractor instead

Working in Marylebone
Marylebone W1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Marylebone — the numbers that actually change a restaurant and cafe clearance quote.
3,555 households sit inside the W1 neighbourhood covering Marylebone. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 88% of those homes are flats.
Because 57% of Marylebone is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of W1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Marylebone, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 47% one-person households in Marylebone, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Marylebone is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Marylebone stock goes, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Village high street, Georgian estate streets and the medical quarter along Harley Street. That character decides the practical detail of restaurant and cafe clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Marylebone sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts — 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 Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways).

Common questions
Restaurant and cafe clearance in Marylebone W1 — your questions.
How much does restaurant and cafe clearance cost in Marylebone W1?
Front-of-house strip-out, small unit starts at £380 in Marylebone on Westminster bookings, with 47% one-person households here, 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 the Marylebone rounds. 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 for Marylebone (W1) addresses, with 32% owner-occupation locally — and 11% social-rented stock nearby.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Marylebone W1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W1 jobs, with this being a short walk from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Marylebone most weeks on the Marylebone rounds, with 57% of W1 homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Marylebone?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across W1, with 12% of Marylebone homes being houses.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Marylebone doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways). With 88% of Marylebone homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on W1 jobs, with 47% one-person households here — and 11% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Marylebone?
Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts on the streets near The Wallace Collection. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Westminster City Council it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards across W1, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
Are your fitters insured for work in W1?
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 this side of Westminster, with 12% of Marylebone homes being houses. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Marylebone, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in restaurant and cafe clearance in Marylebone?
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 the streets near The Wallace Collection — and 3,555 households on this patch, with 32% owner-occupation locally, 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 Marylebone W1 price you agree is the price you pay across W1, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
