Overview
Appliance clearance in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Mortlake, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen's 4,944 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW14 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Mortlake and East Sheen gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
What follows is specific to Mortlake and East Sheen: its walls, its access and the paperwork Richmond upon Thames agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mortlake and East Sheen actually produces in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 32% one-person households in Mortlake and East Sheen, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 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.
