Overview
Appliance clearance in Earl's Court SW5, explained
Appliance clearance in Earl's Court SW5 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,241 households sit inside this SW5 patch, 97% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Earl's Court
Five steps, the same on every SW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Earl's Court gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, where 25% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Earl's Court customers book us
What follows is specific to Earl's Court: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kensington and Chelsea agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a SW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Earl's Court walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SW5, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Earl's Court
Fixed prices for SW5 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Earl's Court
The same scope across SW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included — including appliance clearance london
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, arranged with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where the kerb needs it
- On SW5 jobs: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, with 97% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Earl's Court: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, the way it is done on Earl's Court jobs
- Working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, checked on every SW5 visit
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, and we will say so before the SW5 visit rather than on the day
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW5
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, which we refer on to the right trade in Earl's Court

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 →

Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in SW5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SW5, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Earl's Court knows the pattern near The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment: tall stucco terraces of flats and short lets around the former exhibition site. We plan the SW5 visit around it. Earl's Court sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift. Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.
