Overview
Appliance clearance in Streatham SW16, explained
Appliance clearance in Streatham SW16 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Edwardian. 26,325 households sit inside this SW16 patch, 66% of them flats, so we quote on access near Streatham Common and the Rookery rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Streatham
Five steps, the same on every SW16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Streatham stock goes, where 44% 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 Streatham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Streatham wall.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Streatham walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Streatham, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 66% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Streatham actually produces in SW16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Streatham, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) 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 Streatham
Fixed prices for SW16 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. |

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 →

Streatham SW16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Streatham — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
Walk Streatham from Streatham Common and the Rookery outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 66% of the 26,325 households in SW16 live in flats, 34% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 44% in Streatham, so alongside the 35% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Streatham, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 66% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Streatham actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Streatham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Streatham, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Streatham knows the pattern near Streatham Common and the Rookery: a two-mile high road, the common and the ice rink, with Edwardian streets either side. We plan the SW16 visit around it. Streatham 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 streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts — 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 Streatham (Thameslink, Southern).

Common questions
Appliance clearance in Streatham SW16 — your questions.

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 across SW16 — and 66% of homes here being flats, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Streatham SW16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Streatham (SW16) addresses, with Streatham Common and the Rookery a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Streatham most weeks on the streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery, with 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Streatham?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Streatham (SW16) addresses, with 34% of Streatham homes being houses.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Streatham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Streatham rounds. With 66% of Streatham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SW16 jobs, with 44% owner-occupation locally — and Lambeth parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books appliance clearance in Streatham SW16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 35% of Streatham privately rented and 44% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Streatham, with 44% owner-occupation locally — and 26,325 households on this patch.
How quickly can you reach Streatham from your Lambeth round?
Streatham Common and the Rookery is the marker we route to on SW16 jobs, with Streatham Common and the Rookery a few streets away — and 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented, and a23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts. A SW16 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery, with 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented.
Is same-day or evening appliance clearance available in Lambeth?
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines on the streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery. Streatham sits close to Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), with Lambeth parking rules in play, so we can usually add a SW16 job to an existing Lambeth round at short notice for Streatham (SW16) addresses.
