Barnet · N11 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Friern Barnet and New Southgate fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near Princess Park Manor? Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere, 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
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around New Southgate, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 47% of Friern Barnet and New Southgate's 4,005 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N11 shape the slot length we hold.
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
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. Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. New Southgate (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Friern Barnet and New Southgate, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and gated estate access codes at princess park manor; driveways elsewhere in N11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. |
