Overview
Appliance clearance in Custom House E16, explained

How it works
How appliance clearance works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Custom House stock goes, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock 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 Custom House customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House wall.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E16, often with surface conduit — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in E16, 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 — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On E16 jobs: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
- In Custom House: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- Fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, noted on the Custom House job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Newham bookings: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 24% of E16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E16 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, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16

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 →

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
The E16 stock around Custom House station and Victoria Dock is post-war. ONS records 50% flats, 50% houses and 3,330 households in Custom House.
24% of households rent privately and 26% own, which is why appliance clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E16, often with surface conduit — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Custom House knows the pattern near Custom House station and Victoria Dock: regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. We plan the E16 visit around it. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked 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 Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
