Overview
Appliance clearance in Kennington SE11, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Kennington, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 88% of Kennington's 8,644 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Kennington
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Kennington (Northern) 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 Kennington customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kennington wall.
Kennington walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kennington 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. Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Kennington
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 Kennington
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, with 8,644 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, checked on every SE11 visit
- In Kennington: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, sized for the match-day restrictions at the oval, duchy estate rules and basement-step access
- On SE11 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, local appliance clearance included
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, arranged with London Borough of Lambeth where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in Kennington
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE11
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, and we will say so before the SE11 visit rather than on the day
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead

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 Kennington
Kennington SE11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kennington — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Kennington (SE11) the split is 88% flats to 12% houses over 8,644 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
Because 25% of Kennington is privately rented and 47% socially rented, a lot of SE11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Kennington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kennington actually produces.
Kennington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them — which is why a SE11 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Nearest station is Kennington (Northern), and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.
