Overview
Appliance clearance in Lee SE12, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Lee, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 39% of Lee's 6,151 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE12 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Lee
Five steps, the same on every SE12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE12, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and with 27% one-person households in Lee, 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 Lee customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE12 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Lee walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE12, 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, as the Lee stock goes, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Lee
Fixed prices for SE12 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 Lee
The same scope across SE12, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Lee: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, the way it is done on Lee jobs
- On SE12 jobs: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, with 39% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
- WEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day — including appliance clearance
- In Lee: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, timed against the walk in from Lee (Southeastern)
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, and we will say so before the SE12 visit rather than on the day
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in Lee
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE12

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 →

Lee SE12 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lee — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Lee (SE12) the split is 39% flats to 60% houses over 6,151 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (60% owned, 22% privately rented) means a SE12 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SE12. 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, as the Lee stock goes, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Lee 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 — manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses — which is why a SE12 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — 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 Lee (Southeastern).

Common questions
Appliance clearance in Lee SE12 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in Lee SE12?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in Lee for Lee (SE12) addresses — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 27% one-person households here, 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 on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens — and 18% social-rented stock nearby, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Lee SE12?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens, with 60% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lee most weeks on SE12 jobs, with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Lee?
In Lee, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Lewisham, with The Manor House and its gardens a few streets away. That covers appliance clearance prices on Lee jobs too.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Lee doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Lee. With 39% of Lee homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Lewisham bookings — and 18% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in appliance clearance in Lee?
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 on the Lee rounds, with 22% of SE12 homes being privately rented. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Lee SE12 price you agree is the price you pay for Lee (SE12) addresses, with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern).
Who books appliance clearance in Lee SE12 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 22% of Lee privately rented and 60% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE12 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Lee (SE12) addresses — and 6,151 households on this patch, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
How quickly can you reach Lee from your Lewisham round?
The Manor House and its gardens is the marker we route to across SE12, with 27% one-person households here — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, and driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. A SE12 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Lewisham, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
