Overview
Appliance clearance in Belgravia SW1, explained
Appliance clearance in Belgravia SW1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Westminster, most of them post-war. 3,844 households sit inside this SW1 patch, 92% of them flats, so we quote on access near Eaton Square rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Belgravia
Five steps, the same on every SW1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Belgravia gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, the reality on the streets around Eaton Square 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 Belgravia customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Belgravia wall.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Sloane Square (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a SW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Belgravia walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 49% one-person households in Belgravia, 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 Belgravia
Fixed prices for SW1 and the rest of Westminster. 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 Belgravia
The same scope across SW1, 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 Belgravia job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Westminster bookings: unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, allowing for the 30% of SW1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW1 jobs: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, agreed on the doorstep in Belgravia before anything is unpacked
- In Belgravia: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, timed against the walk in from Sloane Square (Circle, District)
- Working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, checked on every SW1 visit
Not included
- Disconnecting hard-wired cookers or gas appliances — that needs a Gas Safe or qualified electrician, and we will say so before the SW1 visit rather than on the day
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, outside the fixed price on Belgravia bookings
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, which we refer on to the right trade in Belgravia
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, handled by Westminster City Council or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Belgravia SW1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Belgravia — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
The SW1 stock around Eaton Square is post-war. ONS records 92% flats, 8% houses and 3,844 households in Belgravia.
30% of households rent privately and 22% own, which is why appliance clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Belgravia substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 49% one-person households in Belgravia, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SW1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Belgravia knows the pattern near Eaton Square: grosvenor estate stucco, embassies and cobbled mews behind Eaton Square. We plan the SW1 visit around it. Belgravia sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection — one reason two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Fitters travelling in use Sloane Square (Circle, District).

Common questions
Appliance clearance in Belgravia SW1 — your questions.
How much does appliance clearance cost in Belgravia SW1?
Single small appliance (microwave, vacuum, TV) starts at £40 in Belgravia on the streets near Eaton Square — and 30% of SW1 homes being privately rented, with 3,844 households on this patch, 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 for Belgravia (SW1) addresses — and 49% one-person households here, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Belgravia SW1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Belgravia, with 48% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Belgravia most weeks for Belgravia (SW1) addresses, with 8% of Belgravia homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Belgravia?
For SW1 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Westminster, with Eaton Square a few streets away. Around Sloane Square (Circle, District) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Belgravia doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SW1 jobs. With 92% of Belgravia homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Sloane Square (Circle, District) — and 30% of SW1 homes being privately rented, with 22% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books appliance clearance in Belgravia SW1 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 30% of Belgravia privately rented and 22% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Belgravia (SW1) addresses — and 22% owner-occupation locally, with 3,844 households on this patch.
How quickly can you reach Belgravia from your Westminster round?
Eaton Square is the marker we route to in this 92% flats neighbourhood, with 8% of Belgravia homes being houses, and estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection. A SW1 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Sloane Square (Circle, District), with Westminster parking rules in play.
Is same-day or evening appliance clearance available in Westminster?
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines in this 92% flats neighbourhood. Belgravia sits close to Sloane Square (Circle, District) on this side of Westminster, with 30% of SW1 homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a SW1 job to an existing Westminster round at short notice.
