Overview
Appliance clearance in New Cross SE14, explained
Appliance clearance in New Cross SE14 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 11,771 households sit inside this SE14 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near Goldsmiths, University of London rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in New Cross
Five steps, the same on every SE14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the New Cross stock goes, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Cross actually produces 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 New Cross customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
New Cross walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE14, 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 on these streets — the pattern behind 11,771 households inside the SE14 neighbourhood.
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 New Cross
Fixed prices for SE14 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 New Cross
The same scope across SE14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE14 jobs: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, agreed on the doorstep in New Cross before anything is unpacked
- In New Cross: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, timed against the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern)
- Fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, noted on the New Cross job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 34% of SE14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE14 jobs: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, appliance clearance included
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, outside the fixed price on New Cross bookings
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE14
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in New Cross
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

New Cross SE14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Cross — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
Walk New Cross from Goldsmiths, University of London outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 73% of the 11,771 households in SE14 live in flats, 27% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 30% in New Cross, so alongside the 34% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in New Cross is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 11,771 households inside the SE14 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows New Cross knows the pattern near Goldsmiths, University of London: goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. We plan the SE14 visit around it. New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. New Cross (Overground, 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.

Appliance clearance in New Cross SE14 — 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 in New Cross — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 73% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in New Cross SE14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 73% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in New Cross most weeks on Lewisham bookings, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in New Cross?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SE14 jobs, with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a New Cross doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the New Cross rounds. With 73% of New Cross homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for New Cross (SE14) addresses, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood — and Lewisham parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books appliance clearance in New Cross SE14 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 34% of New Cross privately rented and 30% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in New Cross — and 34% of SE14 homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
How quickly can you reach New Cross from your Lewisham round?
Goldsmiths, University of London is the marker we route to for New Cross (SE14) addresses, with 27% of New Cross homes being houses, and september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. A SE14 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London, with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away.
Is same-day or evening appliance clearance available in Lewisham?
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern). New Cross sits close to New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) on SE14 jobs, with 34% of SE14 homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a SE14 job to an existing Lewisham round at short notice.
