Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in Welling DA16, explained
Fridge and freezer disposal in Welling DA16 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them inter-war. 3,815 households sit inside this DA16 patch, 19% of them flats, so we quote on access near Danson Park and Danson House rather than a London average.
How it works
How fridge and freezer disposal works in Welling
Five steps, the same on every DA16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Welling gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the type and size
Under-counter, full-height or American-style — that alone sets the price, no visit needed to quote.
Step 2
Fixed price confirmed
The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.
Step 3
Book collection
Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.
Step 4
Careful carry and load
Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.
Step 5
Degas and certify
Taken to an approved WEEE facility where the refrigerant is recovered before scrapping, with the transfer note emailed to you.
Why choose us
Why Welling customers book us
Four things decide whether a DA16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Welling walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 19% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Welling actually produces in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Fridge and freezer disposal prices in Welling
Fixed prices for DA16 and the rest of Bexley. 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.
| 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. |

Scope
What's included in Welling
The same scope across DA16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Collection from the kitchen, garage or wherever the unit stands — no requirement to move it to the door, checked on every DA16 visit
- Standard on Bexley bookings: refrigerant gas recovered by a certified technician at an approved WEEE facility before the unit is processed, with 3,815 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On DA16 jobs: compliance handled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations, with the paperwork kept on file, fridge and freezer disposal london included
- In Welling: a WEEE transfer note showing the appliance was taken to a permitted treatment facility, sized for the driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays
Not included
- Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for, which we refer on to the right trade in Welling
- Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead, outside the fixed price on Welling bookings

Working in Welling
Welling DA16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Welling — the numbers that actually change a fridge and freezer disposal quote.
Walk Welling from Danson Park and Danson House outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 19% of the 3,815 households in DA16 live in flats, 81% in houses.
16% of households rent privately and 78% own, which is why fridge and freezer disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 19% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Welling actually produces behind the plaster in DA16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Welling knows the pattern near Danson Park and Danson House: a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. We plan the DA16 visit around it. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Welling (Southeastern).

Common questions
Fridge and freezer disposal in Welling DA16 — your questions.
How much does fridge and freezer disposal cost in Welling DA16?
Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Welling on Bexley bookings, with 78% owner-occupation locally, 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 in this 19% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern).
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Welling DA16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Welling (Southeastern), with 3,815 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Welling most weeks across DA16, with 25% one-person households here.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Welling?
For DA16 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 Bexley, with 78% owner-occupation locally. Around Welling (Southeastern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Welling doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Bexley bookings. With 19% of Welling homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Welling rounds — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening fridge and freezer disposal available in Bexley?
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning across DA16. Welling sits close to Welling (Southeastern), with this being London Borough of Bexley territory, so we can usually add a DA16 job to an existing Bexley round at short notice on the streets near Danson Park and Danson House.
Do you handle difficult access in Welling?
Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays on Bexley bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bexley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Welling, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in DA16?
For DA16 bookings, 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 in this 19% flats neighbourhood — and 6% social-rented stock nearby, with 25% 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 Bexley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Bexley, with 3,815 households on this patch. It works the same way on every Welling (DA16) booking.
