Overview
Appliance clearance in Colindale NW9, explained
Appliance clearance in Colindale NW9 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Barnet, most of them inter-war. 7,659 households sit inside this NW9 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Colindale
Five steps, the same on every NW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 7,659 households inside the NW9 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the appliance
Type, floor and whether it is free-standing or integrated. That is all we need for a fixed price.
Step 2
Book the slot
Timed to your delivery or installation window so the old machine is gone before the new one arrives.
Step 3
Disconnect and protect
Plug-in appliances unplugged and drained, hall and lift lobby sheeted before anything moves.
Step 4
Carry and load
Barrowed out by two crew — three on an American fridge-freezer or a range cooker.
Step 5
Degas, recycle, receipt
Fridges degassed at a licensed site, other WEEE recycled, transfer note handed over.
Why choose us
Why Colindale customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Colindale wall.
Colindale walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW9, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in NW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Colindale gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier operating to the WEEE Regulations. Fridges and freezers go to a licensed degassing facility, all other appliances to an approved WEEE treatment site, with a transfer note in your name.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Colindale
Fixed prices for NW9 and the rest of Barnet. Appliance type, the floor it is on and whether it is free-standing or built in — refrigerant units cost more because of the degassing gate fee.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) | £40 | 15–30 min | Small WEEE is priced per unit because the gate fee is per item, not per kilo. |
| Washing machine, dryer or dishwasher | £60 | 30 min | Two crew and a sack barrow: a drum-loaded machine is 70–80kg and rarely on the ground floor in London. |
| Fridge or freezer | £70 | 30 min | Fridges carry refrigerant gases and must go to a degassing facility, which is a separate licensed stream. |
| American fridge-freezer or range cooker | £95 | 45–60 min | Oversize units need three crew, door removal or a strap lift down a shared stairwell. |
| Kitchen strip-out (four or more appliances) | £180 | 1–2 hrs | Refit and landlord jobs where the whole run comes out in one visit, uplifted together. |

Scope
What's included in Colindale
The same scope across NW9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Barnet bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, with 7,659 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, checked on every NW9 visit
- In Colindale: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, sized for the every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated
- On NW9 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, local appliance clearance included
- Standard on Barnet bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, arranged with London Borough of Barnet where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, handled by London Borough of Barnet or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, which we refer on to the right trade in Colindale
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, outside the fixed price on Colindale bookings
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, and we will say so before the NW9 visit rather than on the day

I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

We are over the moon with our one-off deep clean, the team (led by Mo, i think he said his name was!) turned up early and were done within 4 hours, we can't believe how much they got done in that time. They went absolutely above and beyond and cleaned inside cabinets/the fridge even though… Read in full →

Colindale NW9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Colindale — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
Colindale NW9 is inter-war and renter-heavy: 80% of homes here are flats and 20% are houses, across 7,659 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (32% owned, 35% privately rented) means a NW9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW9, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in NW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Colindale gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Colindale 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 — the fastest-growing new-build district in north London, around the old aerodrome — which is why a NW9 quote is not a Barnet average.
On access, every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated — one reason two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Fitters travelling in use Colindale (Northern).
