Overview
Appliance clearance in Surrey Quays SE16, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Surrey Quays, appliance clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 76% of Surrey Quays's 4,588 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Surrey Quays
Five steps, the same on every SE16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — which is why London Borough of Southwark 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 Surrey Quays customers book us
What follows is specific to Surrey Quays: its walls, its access and the paperwork Southwark agents ask for.
Surrey Quays walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 32% one-person households in Surrey Quays, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Surrey Quays gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Surrey Quays 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. Wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Surrey Quays
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 Surrey Quays
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, with 4,588 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, checked on every SE16 visit
- In Surrey Quays: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, sized for the wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots
- On SE16 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, appliance clearance included
- Standard on Southwark bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, which we refer on to the right trade in Surrey Quays
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, outside the fixed price on Surrey Quays bookings
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, and we will say so before the SE16 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Surrey Quays SE16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Surrey Quays — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
In Surrey Quays (SE16) the split is 76% flats to 22% houses over 4,588 households, and the stock is recent new-build.
Because 41% of Surrey Quays is privately rented and 24% socially rented, a lot of SE16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 32% one-person households in Surrey Quays, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Surrey Quays is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Surrey Quays gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Surrey Quays actually produces.
Surrey Quays 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 — retail park, Greenland Dock moorings and quiet dockland streets — which is why a SE16 quote is not a Southwark average.
Wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots. Nearest station is Surrey Quays (Overground), and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.
