Barking and Dagenham · RM10 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Dagenham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near The Ford Dagenham plant? Wide roads, driveways and easy access; the Heathway has short loading bays, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Dagenham RM10 specifically: inter-war stock, 24% privately rented and 15,032 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Barking and Dagenham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Under-counter, full-height or American-style — that alone sets the price, no visit needed to quote.
Step 2
The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.
Step 3
Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.
Step 4
Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.
Step 5
Taken to an approved WEEE facility where the refrigerant is recovered before scrapping, with the transfer note emailed to you.
Why choose us
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Dagenham Heathway (District) is the nearest station, so a RM10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Dagenham, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Barking and Dagenham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in RM10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Dagenham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Refrigerant-containing appliances are classed as WEEE and controlled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations — the gas must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is crushed or scrapped, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip.
One or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard. Wide roads, driveways and easy access; the Heathway has short loading bays.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under-counter fridge or freezer | £45 | 20–30 min | Smaller units still need the same degassing process, so the price floor reflects the facility charge rather than the size. |
| Full-height fridge or fridge-freezer | £60 | 20–30 min | Priced per unit for collection plus the WEEE facility's per-item gate fee for degassing and recycling. |
| American-style or larger fridge-freezer | £85 | 30–45 min | Extra crew time for the size and weight through a doorway, plus a higher refrigerant charge on some larger units. |
| Chest or upright freezer | £55 | 20–30 min | Same F-gas recovery step as a fridge, priced per unit against the approved facility's rate. |
| Wine cooler or drinks fridge | £40 | 15–20 min | Smaller refrigerant charge than a full fridge, but still requires the same certified recovery step before scrapping. |
| Second unit on the same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One collection, one degassing trip to the facility — each extra unit avoids a second call-out charge. |

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Dagenham
In Dagenham (RM10) the split is 24% flats to 76% houses over 15,032 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The social-housing-led mix here (44% owned, 24% privately rented) means a RM10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Dagenham, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Barking and Dagenham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Dagenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Dagenham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Dagenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — heathway shops, Ford's plant on the marshes and streets of estate housing — which is why a RM10 quote is not a Barking and Dagenham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads, driveways and easy access; the Heathway has short loading bays. Dagenham Heathway (District) is the nearest station, and one or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Dagenham on the Dagenham rounds, with 76% of Dagenham homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Unit size and the refrigerant charge set the floor price; stairs, narrow galley kitchens and integrated housings that need levering out add crew time on top on RM10 jobs — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with The Ford Dagenham plant a few streets away.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Barking and Dagenham, with 44% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Dagenham most weeks across RM10, with this being a short walk from Dagenham Heathway (District).
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 Barking and Dagenham, with 31% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Ford Dagenham plant. With 24% of Dagenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Dagenham (RM10) addresses — and Barking and Dagenham parking rules in play, with 24% of RM10 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Wide roads, driveways and easy access; the Heathway has short loading bays across RM10. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Barking and Dagenham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Barking and Dagenham — and 76% of Dagenham homes being houses, with Barking and Dagenham parking rules in play.
Refrigerant-containing appliances are classed as WEEE and controlled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations — the gas must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is crushed or scrapped across RM10 — and this being London Borough of Barking and Dagenham territory, with 24% one-person households here, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip. That paperwork is what most Barking and Dagenham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near The Ford Dagenham plant, with 15,032 households on this patch.
Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for; Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open on the Dagenham rounds — and 15,032 households on this patch, with Barking and Dagenham parking rules in play, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Dagenham RM10 price you agree is the price you pay for Dagenham (RM10) addresses, with 24% of homes here being flats.
