Overview
Appliance clearance in Catford SE6, explained

How it works
How appliance clearance works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and with 33% one-person households in Catford, 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 Catford customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Catford wall.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 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 Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, with 6,981 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 SE6 visit
- In Catford: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, sized for the south circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind
- On SE6 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, appliance clearance included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, allowing for the 33% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in Catford
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6

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 →

Catford SE6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Catford — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
6,981 households sit inside the SE6 neighbourhood covering Catford. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 62% of those homes are flats.
With 33% private renting against 42% owner-occupied, most SE6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Catford 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 fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Catford rounds, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern) — and 33% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
