Overview
Appliance clearance in Woolwich SE18, explained
Appliance clearance in Woolwich SE18 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them post-war. 13,241 households sit inside this SE18 patch, 63% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Woolwich
Five steps, the same on every SE18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE18, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Woolwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE18 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. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Woolwich walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Woolwich
Fixed prices for SE18 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. |

Sardar and his colleague, did a fantastic job, they arrived on time, my cooker looks brand new. Bathroom very good job. Thank you guys.😊
★★★★★Hello Services
The operator was on time, courteous and thorough in his work. He did an excellent job in restoring the cooker to its original condition. Thanks
★★★★★Hello Services
I thought they did an amazing job. My husbands flat is crowded . He is a cluttered and the bathroom in particular needed work. They did an amazing job. 9 because they switched the fridge freezer off and unfortunately we were away and didn’t realise for a couple of days. Easy mistake to make.

Woolwich SE18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Woolwich — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
Woolwich SE18 is post-war and social-housing-led: 63% of homes here are flats and 37% are houses, across 13,241 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 25% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most SE18 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, so the fixing that matters in Woolwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
The Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. That character decides the practical detail of appliance clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Woolwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Nearest station is Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR), 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 Woolwich SE18 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in Woolwich SE18?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in Woolwich on this side of Greenwich, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) — and 63% of homes here being flats, 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 in this 63% flats neighbourhood — and 13,241 households on this patch, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Woolwich SE18?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with 63% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Woolwich most weeks for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Woolwich?
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 Woolwich rounds, with 13,241 households on this patch.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Woolwich doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Woolwich. With 63% of Woolwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 37% of Woolwich homes being houses — and 28% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Woolwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry is the marker we route to in Woolwich, with 31% one-person households here — and The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry a few streets away, and royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. A SE18 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Greenwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Is same-day or evening appliance clearance available in Greenwich?
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines in this 63% flats neighbourhood. Woolwich sits close to Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with 31% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SE18 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Woolwich?
Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers on Greenwich bookings. 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 on the Woolwich rounds — and 13,241 households on this patch, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
