Bexley · DA15 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Sidcup fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near Sidcup Place and Lamorbey Park? Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short 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
Fridge and freezer disposal in Sidcup DA15 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them inter-war. 8,640 households sit inside this DA15 patch, 46% of them flats, so we quote on access near Sidcup Place and Lamorbey Park rather than a London average.
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. Sidcup (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short 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.

Working in Sidcup
8,640 households sit inside the DA15 neighbourhood covering Sidcup. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 46% of those homes are flats.
Because 20% of Sidcup is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of DA15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in DA15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Sidcup 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 — a busy high street, Lamorbey Park and the Rose Bruford campus — which is why a DA15 quote is not a Bexley average.
Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays. Nearest station is Sidcup (Southeastern), 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 Sidcup across DA15, with 46% of homes here being flats, 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 this side of Bexley — and 20% of DA15 homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Sidcup, with this being a short walk from Sidcup (Southeastern). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Sidcup most weeks on Bexley bookings, with 20% of DA15 homes being privately rented.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with 12% social-rented stock nearby. With 46% of homes in Sidcup being flats, we plan the route up front.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Sidcup. With 46% of Sidcup homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Sidcup (Southeastern), with 20% of DA15 homes being privately rented — and 46% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays on this side of Bexley.

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 for Sidcup (DA15) addresses, with 46% of homes here being flats — and 8,640 households on this patch, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip. That paperwork is what most Bexley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Sidcup rounds, with Bexley parking rules in play.
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, with 35% one-person households here, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open in Sidcup — and 8,640 households on this patch, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Sidcup DA15 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Bexley, with Bexley parking rules in play.
