Overview
Appliance clearance in South Croydon CR2, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around South Croydon, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 47% of South Croydon's 3,637 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in South Croydon
Five steps, the same on every CR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — and steep hills, narrow victorian frontages and driveways further out 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 South Croydon customers book us
Four things decide whether a CR2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
South Croydon walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in South Croydon, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 3,637 households inside the CR2 neighbourhood in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 30% 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. Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in South Croydon
Fixed prices for CR2 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 South Croydon
The same scope across CR2, 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, arranged with London Borough of Croydon where the kerb needs it
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units — including appliance clearance prices
- In South Croydon: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, the way it is done on South Croydon jobs
- On CR2 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 47% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Croydon bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, allowing for the 30% of CR2 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, outside the fixed price on South Croydon bookings
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, and we will say so before the CR2 visit rather than on the day
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in South Croydon
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR2

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 →

South Croydon CR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers South Croydon — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
3,637 households sit inside the CR2 neighbourhood covering South Croydon. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
Because 30% of South Croydon is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of CR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in South Croydon, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 3,637 households inside the CR2 neighbourhood behind the plaster in CR2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 30% 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.
South Croydon 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 — victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. South Croydon (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.
