Overview
Appliance clearance in Royal Docks E16, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Royal Victoria, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 74% of Royal Docks's 2,668 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Royal Docks
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Royal Docks gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, the reality on the streets around ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car 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 Royal Docks customers book us
Four things decide whether a E16 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. Royal Victoria (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Royal Docks walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 2,668 households inside the E16 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 Royal Docks
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 Royal Docks
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, noted on the Royal Docks job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Newham bookings: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, allowing for the 38% of E16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E16 jobs: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, agreed on the doorstep in Royal Docks before anything is unpacked
- In Royal Docks: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, timed against the walk in from Royal Victoria (DLR)
- Working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, checked on every E16 visit
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, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, which we refer on to the right trade in Royal Docks

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 →

Royal Docks E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Royal Docks — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
The E16 stock around ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car is recent new-build. ONS records 74% flats, 26% houses and 2,668 households in Royal Docks.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 23%; the first group books appliance clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 2,668 households inside the E16 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Royal Docks knows the pattern near ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car: water on three sides — ExCeL, the cable car and dockside apartment terraces. We plan the E16 visit around it. Royal Docks 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: event congestion around ExCeL, gated estates and mandatory lift booking. Royal Victoria (DLR) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.
