Overview
Appliance clearance in Brockley SE4, explained
Appliance clearance in Brockley SE4 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,905 households sit inside this SE4 patch, 70% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hilly Fields Park rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Brockley
Five steps, the same on every SE4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE4, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — and with 30% one-person households in Brockley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Brockley customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Brockley wall.
Brockley walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brockley, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Brockley (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in SE4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Brockley stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Brockley
Fixed prices for SE4 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Brockley
The same scope across SE4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Brockley: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, sized for the steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights
- On SE4 jobs: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, appliance clearance included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, with 6,905 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- WEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, checked on every SE4 visit
- In Brockley: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, timed against the walk in from Brockley (Overground)
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, which we refer on to the right trade in Brockley
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE4
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, outside the fixed price on Brockley bookings

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 →

Working in Brockley
Brockley SE4 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Brockley — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Brockley (SE4) the split is 70% flats to 30% houses over 6,905 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 30% of Brockley is privately rented and 31% socially rented, a lot of SE4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Brockley substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brockley, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Brockley (Overground) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Brockley stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SE4 customer twice.
Brockley 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 — conservation-area streets of large Victorian villas and the Hilly Fields view — which is why a SE4 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. Nearest station is Brockley (Overground), and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

Common questions
Appliance clearance in Brockley SE4 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in Brockley SE4?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in Brockley for Brockley (SE4) addresses, with 70% of homes here being flats — and Hilly Fields Park a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 in this 70% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Brockley SE4?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Brockley, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Brockley most weeks around Brockley (Overground), with 30% of SE4 homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Brockley?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Brockley, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Brockley doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Brockley (SE4) addresses. With 70% of Brockley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Brockley — and Lewisham parking rules in play, with 31% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in appliance clearance in Brockley?
Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician; Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut; Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems; Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied in Brockley, with 39% owner-occupation locally — and Hilly Fields Park a few streets away. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Brockley SE4 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Lewisham, with 31% social-rented stock nearby.
Who books appliance clearance in Brockley SE4 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 30% of Brockley privately rented and 39% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Brockley (Overground) — and 30% one-person households here, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
How quickly can you reach Brockley from your Lewisham round?
Hilly Fields Park is the marker we route to in Brockley, with Lewisham parking rules in play, and steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. A SE4 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Lewisham, with 70% of homes here being flats.
