Fixed prices

Appliance clearance prices in City of London

Fixed prices for City of London, agreed before the crew is booked. 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. Where the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages apply in City of London, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.

Working in City of London

Why City of London is not a generic London job

St Paul's Cathedral is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in City of London.

The housing stock

City of London is built from barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks, and the mix changes street by street — Aldgate (EC3), Bank and Cornhill (EC3) and Barbican (EC2) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

On the ground, congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Locally that means aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

City of London Corporation rules

Fly-tipping enforcement in City of London lands on the householder, not the carrier, when waste is passed to someone unlicensed. City of London Corporation can and does trace bags back. Every load we take leaves with a waste transfer note in your name and our carrier registration number on it.

How the borough got this way

Roman Londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the Blitz, now layered with towers around Bishopsgate. That history is why City of London property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in City of London

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Aldgate or St Paul's.

Included in the price

  • Two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included
  • Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units
  • Fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped
  • WEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day
  • Working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling

Not included

  • Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician
  • Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut
  • Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems
  • Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied

Method

How a City of London booking runs

Five steps, the same on every City of London job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Book the slot

    Timed to your delivery or installation window so the old machine is gone before the new one arrives.

  3. Step 3

    Disconnect and protect

    Plug-in appliances unplugged and drained, hall and lift lobby sheeted before anything moves.

  4. Step 4

    Carry and load

    Barrowed out by two crew — three on an American fridge-freezer or a range cooker.

  5. Step 5

    Degas, recycle, receipt

    Fridges degassed at a licensed site, other WEEE recycled, transfer note handed over.

Coverage

Every area we cover in City of London

10 named areas across E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. Each has its own page with local access notes.
Local questions

Appliance clearance in City of London — your questions

  • How much does an appliance collection cost in City of London?

    Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in City of London, and the ladder runs up to £180 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which City of London postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. On the ground that includes Aldgate, Bank and Cornhill, Barbican, Blackfriars, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.

  • How quickly can you get to City of London?

    Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in City of London?

    Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with City of London Corporation and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in City of London flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in City of London?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what City of London Corporation tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    Two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every City of London postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut and Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems. If something on that list turns up in City of London, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
