Overview
This page prices appliance clearance for Norbury SW16 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 28% privately rented and 6,130 households in total. Work starts at £40, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lambeth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Type, floor and whether it is free-standing or integrated. That is all we need for a fixed price.
Step 2
Timed to your delivery or installation window so the old machine is gone before the new one arrives.
Step 3
Plug-in appliances unplugged and drained, hall and lift lobby sheeted before anything moves.
Step 4
Barrowed out by two crew — three on an American fridge-freezer or a range cooker.
Step 5
Fridges degassed at a licensed site, other WEEE recycled, transfer note handed over.
Why choose us
Two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. A23 red route, side-road permit bays and railway-bridge height limits.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Norbury (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in SW16, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW16, 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 on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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
| 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
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into. Loqman and his colleague arrived on time and were incredibly fast in firstly hoovering all to be worked on and then deep cleaning a total of seven sets of carpets across our first and second… Read in full →
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. They even put extra safety materials over my mirror. Very good service, plus they give you cute… Read in full →
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 Norbury
Census 2021 puts Norbury at 6,130 households with a median age of 37.7. The mainly Edwardian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 71% houses and 29% flats need different handling in SW16.
28% of households rent privately and 55% own, which is why appliance clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick in SW16, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SW16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Norbury knows the pattern near Norbury Park: the southern end of the London Road corridor, with Edwardian terraces and a busy parade. We plan the SW16 visit around it. Norbury 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, a23 red route, side-road permit bays and railway-bridge height limits — 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 Norbury (Southern).
