Appliance clearance in Holland Park W11, explained
This page prices appliance clearance for Holland Park W11 specifically: period conversion stock, 43% privately rented and 3,387 households in total. Work starts at £40, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Holland Park
Five steps, the same on every W11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Holland Park stock goes, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Holland Park actually produces 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 Holland Park customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Holland Park wall.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Holland Park walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W11, 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 — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood.
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 Holland Park
Fixed prices for W11 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 Holland Park
The same scope across W11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On W11 jobs: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, agreed on the doorstep in Holland Park before anything is unpacked
- In Holland Park: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, timed against the walk in from Holland Park (Central)
- Fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, noted on the Holland Park job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 43% of W11 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On W11 jobs: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, appliance clearance london 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 W11 visit rather than on the day
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, outside the fixed price on Holland Park bookings
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W11
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, which we refer on to the right trade in Holland Park

I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

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 →

Holland Park W11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Holland Park — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
Walk Holland Park from Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 80% of the 3,387 households in W11 live in flats, 20% in houses.
43% of households rent privately and 40% own, which is why appliance clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in W11. 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 — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Holland Park knows the pattern near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden: wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. We plan the W11 visit around it. Holland Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors — 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 Holland Park (Central).

Will a built wardrobe fit through a Holland Park doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 80% flats neighbourhood. With 80% of Holland Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 3,387 households on this patch — and 80% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
