How it works
How appliance clearance works in Tolworth
Five steps, the same on every KT5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In KT5, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and a3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways 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 Tolworth customers book us
Four things decide whether a KT5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Tolworth walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 22% one-person households in Tolworth, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in KT5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Tolworth stock goes, which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tolworth actually produces.
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. A3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Tolworth
Fixed prices for KT5 and the rest of Kingston upon Thames. 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. |

What's included in Tolworth

Included in the price
- In Tolworth: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, timed against the walk in from Tolworth (South Western)
- On KT5 jobs: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, agreed on the doorstep in Tolworth before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, allowing for the 28% of KT5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- WEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, noted on the Tolworth job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Tolworth: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, sized for the a3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, quoted separately if you need it arranged in KT5
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, outside the fixed price on Tolworth bookings
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, and we will say so before the KT5 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Tolworth KT5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Tolworth — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Tolworth (KT5) the split is 25% flats to 74% houses over 3,374 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 28% of Tolworth is privately rented and 9% socially rented, a lot of KT5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Tolworth substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 22% one-person households in Tolworth, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Tolworth stock goes, which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tolworth actually produces is the mistake that costs a KT5 customer twice.
Tolworth 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 — the Tolworth Tower landmark on the A3 and quiet 1930s residential grids — which is why a KT5 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: a3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways. Tolworth (South Western) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 25% flats neighbourhood, with Tolworth Tower a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Tolworth doorway?

With 25% of Tolworth homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across KT5, with 28% of KT5 homes being privately rented — and 9% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
