Overview
Appliance clearance in Blackheath SE3, explained

How it works
How appliance clearance works in Blackheath
Five steps, the same on every SE3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Blackheath stock goes, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Blackheath customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Blackheath walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Blackheath, with solid brick on the party and external walls — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Blackheath, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Blackheath
Fixed prices for SE3 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Blackheath
The same scope across SE3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE3 jobs: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, agreed on the doorstep in Blackheath before anything is unpacked
- In Blackheath: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, timed against the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern)
- Fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, noted on the Blackheath job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 32% of SE3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE3 jobs: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, local appliance clearance included
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, and we will say so before the SE3 visit rather than on the day
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, outside the fixed price on Blackheath bookings
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE3
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, which we refer on to the right trade in Blackheath

Blackheath substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Blackheath, with solid brick on the party and external walls — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Blackheath, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a SE3 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Blackheath knows the pattern near Blackheath and the Paragon: the heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. We plan the SE3 visit around it. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Blackheath rounds, with 64% of homes here being flats.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Blackheath doorway?

With 64% of Blackheath homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SE3 jobs — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with 51% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
