Overview
Appliance clearance in Temple and Aldwych WC2, explained
Appliance clearance in Temple and Aldwych WC2 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Westminster, most of them period conversion. 3,927 households sit inside this WC2 patch, 95% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Courts of Justice rather than a London average.
How it works
How appliance clearance works in Temple and Aldwych
Five steps, the same on every WC2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from Temple (Circle, District) 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 Temple and Aldwych customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Temple and Aldwych wall.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common on single machines. Temple (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a WC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Temple and Aldwych walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Temple and Aldwych, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the reality on the streets around The Royal Courts of Justice in WC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Appliance clearance prices in Temple and Aldwych
Fixed prices for WC2 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 Temple and Aldwych
The same scope across WC2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Westminster bookings: two crew with a sack barrow and floor protection, stairs and walk-ups included, allowing for the 44% of WC2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Unplugging and pulling out free-standing appliances, including under-counter units, noted on the Temple and Aldwych job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Temple and Aldwych: fridges and freezers taken to a licensed degassing facility, never tipped, timed against the walk in from Temple (Circle, District)
- On WC2 jobs: wEEE recycling with the waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, agreed on the doorstep in Temple and Aldwych before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Westminster bookings: working appliances offered to London reuse partners before recycling, with 3,927 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Temple and Aldwych
- Removing built-in units from carcassing where joinery has to be cut, quoted separately if you need it arranged in WC2
- Commercial refrigeration with pressurised systems, and we will say so before the WC2 visit rather than on the day
- Appliances containing food waste that has not been emptied, handled by Westminster City Council or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Temple and Aldwych WC2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Temple and Aldwych — the numbers that actually change a appliance clearance quote.
3,927 households sit inside the WC2 neighbourhood covering Temple and Aldwych. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 95% of those homes are flats.
Because 44% of Temple and Aldwych is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of WC2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Temple and Aldwych, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the reality on the streets around The Royal Courts of Justice, so the fixing that matters in Temple and Aldwych is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Barristers' chambers, King's College buildings and the crescent of Aldwych. That character decides the practical detail of appliance clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Temple and Aldwych sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. Nearest station is Temple (Circle, District), and two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries.

With 95% of Temple and Aldwych homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Westminster bookings, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and 3,927 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Westminster City Council it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Westminster bookings, with The Royal Courts of Justice a few streets away. Ask for it in writing before the WC2 visit and it is on the job sheet.
