Overview
Appliance clearance in Coulsdon CR5, explained

How it works
How appliance clearance works in Coulsdon
Five steps, the same on every CR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in Coulsdon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Coulsdon customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Coulsdon wall.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Coulsdon walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 22% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Coulsdon actually produces.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Coulsdon
Fixed prices for CR5 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Coulsdon
The same scope across CR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Croydon bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, allowing for the 12% of CR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, noted on the Coulsdon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Coulsdon: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, timed against the walk in from Coulsdon South (Southern)
- On CR5 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, agreed on the doorstep in Coulsdon before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Croydon bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, arranged with London Borough of Croydon where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, and we will say so before the CR5 visit rather than on the day
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR5
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, outside the fixed price on Coulsdon bookings

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

The company that moved me called beewise are amazing! i would use them again if needed 😊 The drivers very friendly and helpful, they did not let me touch even a single box and handled everything with care.

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 →

Coulsdon CR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Coulsdon — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
6,754 households sit inside the CR5 neighbourhood covering Coulsdon. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 22% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (74% owned, 12% privately rented) means a CR5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Coulsdon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 22% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Coulsdon actually produces.
Downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. That character decides the practical detail of appliance clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Coulsdon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

With 22% of Coulsdon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on CR5 jobs — and 12% of CR5 homes being privately rented, with Farthing Downs a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
