Overview
Appliance clearance in St Paul's EC4, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around St Paul's, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 98% of St Paul's's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC4 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in St Paul's
Five steps, the same on every EC4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from St Paul's (Central) rather than assumed from a map 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 St Paul's customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC4 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. Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
St Paul's walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in St Paul's, with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in EC4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is St Paul's gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in St Paul's
Fixed prices for EC4 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 St Paul's
The same scope across EC4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on City of London bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, with 4,914 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 EC4 visit
- In St Paul's: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, sized for the pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the corporation
- On EC4 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, appliance clearance included
- Standard on City of London bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, allowing for the 48% of EC4 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in St Paul's
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, outside the fixed price on St Paul's bookings
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, and we will say so before the EC4 visit rather than on the day
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

St Paul's EC4 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers St Paul's — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
4,914 households sit inside the EC4 neighbourhood covering St Paul's. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
Because 48% of St Paul's is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
St Paul's substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in St Paul's, with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because St Paul's gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a EC4 customer twice.
Cathedral precinct, One New Change shopping and the streets running down to the Millennium Bridge. That character decides the practical detail of appliance clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. St Paul's sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation. Nearest station is St Paul's (Central), and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

Common questions
Appliance clearance in St Paul's EC4 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in St Paul's EC4?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in St Paul's on City of London bookings, with 2% of St Paul's homes being houses — and 37% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter 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 on the St Paul's rounds — and St Paul's Cathedral a few streets away, with City of London parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in St Paul's EC4?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in St Paul's, with 51% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in St Paul's most weeks around St Paul's (Central), with 4,914 households on this patch.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in St Paul's?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across EC4, with 4,914 households on this patch.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a St Paul's doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of City of London. With 98% of St Paul's homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in St Paul's, with 98% of homes here being flats — and 37% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in St Paul's?
Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on City of London bookings — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with City of London parking rules in play.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC4?
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 on EC4 jobs, with 2% of St Paul's homes being houses, with a transfer note in your name. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the St Paul's rounds, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in appliance clearance in St Paul's?
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 on City of London bookings — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the St Paul's EC4 price you agree is the price you pay on the St Paul's rounds, with this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central).
