Overview
Appliance clearance in Bermondsey SE16, explained
Appliance clearance in Bermondsey SE16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Southwark, most of them mainly Victorian. 23,919 households sit inside this SE16 patch, 88% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Bermondsey Beer Mile and Maltby Street Market rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Bermondsey
Five steps, the same on every SE16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Bermondsey (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map 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 Bermondsey customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Bermondsey walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Bermondsey, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 23,919 households inside the SE16 neighbourhood in SE16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bermondsey gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bermondsey actually produces.
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. Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Bermondsey
Fixed prices for SE16 and the rest of Southwark. 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 Bermondsey
The same scope across SE16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Southwark bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units — including appliance clearance
- In Bermondsey: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, the way it is done on Bermondsey jobs
- On SE16 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Southwark bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, with 23,919 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, outside the fixed price on Bermondsey bookings
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, and we will say so before the SE16 visit rather than on the day
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in Bermondsey
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE16

I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

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 →

Bermondsey SE16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bermondsey — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
Bermondsey SE16 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 88% of homes here are flats and 13% are houses, across 23,919 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 29% of Bermondsey is privately rented and 48% socially rented, a lot of SE16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Bermondsey, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 23,919 households inside the SE16 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Bermondsey gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bermondsey actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Bermondsey sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — former biscuit and leather factories converted into lofts, plus the Blue market — which is why a SE16 quote is not a Southwark average.
Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. Nearest station is Bermondsey (Jubilee), and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

Common questions
Appliance clearance in Bermondsey SE16 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in Bermondsey SE16?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in Bermondsey on this side of Southwark, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and Southwark parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 on SE16 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Bermondsey SE16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SE16, with 88% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Bermondsey most weeks around Bermondsey (Jubilee), with Southwark parking rules in play.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Bermondsey?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE16, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Bermondsey doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SE16 jobs. With 88% of Bermondsey homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Bermondsey rounds, with 29% of SE16 homes being privately rented — and 13% of Bermondsey homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Bermondsey?
Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays around Bermondsey (Jubilee). Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Southwark it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Bermondsey — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with 48% social-rented stock nearby.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE16?
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 around Bermondsey (Jubilee), with The Bermondsey Beer Mile and Maltby Street Market a few streets away, with a transfer note in your name. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SE16 jobs, with Southwark parking rules in play.
What is not included in appliance clearance in Bermondsey?
Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician; Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut; Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems; Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied in this 88% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with 13% of Bermondsey homes being houses. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Bermondsey SE16 price you agree is the price you pay around Bermondsey (Jubilee), with The Bermondsey Beer Mile and Maltby Street Market a few streets away.
