This page prices appliance clearance for Barnes SW13 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 9,121 households in total.

How it works
How appliance clearance works in Barnes
Five steps, the same on every SW13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Barnes customers book us
What follows is specific to Barnes: its walls, its access and the paperwork Richmond upon Thames agents ask for.
Barnes walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from Barnes (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in SW13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around The WWT London Wetland Centre.
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. Narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and Boat Race day closures.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Barnes
Fixed prices for SW13 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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. |

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 →

Barnes SW13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Barnes — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Barnes (SW13) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 9,121 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 27% private renting against 57% owner-occupied, most SW13 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from Barnes (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Barnes is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around The WWT London Wetland Centre.
Barnes 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 — a village around a duck pond inside a loop of the Thames, with the wetland centre nearby — which is why a SW13 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and Boat Race day closures. Barnes (South Western) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.
