Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Kingsbury, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 34% of Kingsbury's 9,689 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW9 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
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. Driveway parking throughout; the high road has short loading bays only.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Kingsbury (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in NW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 20% one-person households in Kingsbury, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in NW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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
| 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. |

Kingsbury substrates run to solid London stock brick in NW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 20% one-person households in Kingsbury, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a NW9 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Kingsbury knows the pattern near Fryent Country Park: metroland semis, a diverse high road and Fryent Country Park's hills. We plan the NW9 visit around it. Kingsbury is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
