Overview
Appliance clearance in Thamesmead SE28, explained

How it works
How appliance clearance works in Thamesmead
Five steps, the same on every SE28 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Thamesmead customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Thamesmead wall.
Thamesmead walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE28, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Thamesmead
Fixed prices for SE28 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 Thamesmead
The same scope across SE28, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units — including appliance clearance
- In Thamesmead: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, the way it is done on Thamesmead jobs
- On SE28 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 Greenwich bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, allowing for the 28% of SE28 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 Thamesmead bookings
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, and we will say so before the SE28 visit rather than on the day
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in Thamesmead
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE28

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 →

Working in Thamesmead
Thamesmead SE28 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Thamesmead — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
7,133 households sit inside the SE28 neighbourhood covering Thamesmead. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (32% owned, 28% privately rented) means a SE28 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Thamesmead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Thamesmead 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 — brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes — which is why a SE28 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads — one reason two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Fitters travelling in use Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).

Common questions
Appliance clearance in Thamesmead SE28 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in Thamesmead SE28?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in Thamesmead on the Thamesmead rounds, with 29% one-person households here — and 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented, 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 for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses — and 39% social-rented stock nearby, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Thamesmead SE28?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Greenwich, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Thamesmead most weeks across SE28, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Thamesmead?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), with 29% one-person households here. With 47% of homes in Thamesmead being flats, we plan the route up front.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Thamesmead doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Greenwich bookings. With 47% of Thamesmead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 47% flats neighbourhood — and 32% owner-occupation locally, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Thamesmead?

Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses — and 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses, with 29% one-person households here.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE28?
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 across SE28, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with a transfer note in your name. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Southmere Lake, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
What is not included in appliance clearance in Thamesmead?
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 this side of Greenwich — and this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), with 47% of homes here being flats. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Thamesmead SE28 price you agree is the price you pay on SE28 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
