Overview
Appliance clearance in Aldgate EC3, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Aldgate, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 98% of Aldgate's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Aldgate
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Aldgate customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Aldgate walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC3, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in EC3, 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 Aldgate stock goes, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Aldgate actually produces.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Aldgate
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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 Aldgate
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Aldgate: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, sized for the aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking
- On EC3 jobs: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, local appliance clearance included
- Standard on City of London bookings: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, with 4,914 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- WEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, checked on every EC3 visit
- In Aldgate: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, timed against the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan)
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, and we will say so before the EC3 visit rather than on the day
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in Aldgate
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC3

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 →

Aldgate EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Aldgate — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Aldgate (EC3) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is post-war.
The renter-heavy mix here (37% owned, 48% privately rented) means a EC3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC3, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in EC3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Aldgate stock goes, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Aldgate actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. That character decides the practical detail of appliance clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Aldgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.
