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. Event-day road closures and parking bans; every new block needs a booked lift and bay.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a HA9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 9,097 households inside the HA9 neighbourhood in HA9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in HA9, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Wembley Stadium.
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. |

Working in Wembley
Wembley HA9 is inter-war and renter-heavy: 47% of homes here are flats and 53% are houses, across 9,097 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 41% of Wembley is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of HA9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Wembley substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 9,097 households inside the HA9 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in HA9, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Wembley Stadium is the mistake that costs a HA9 customer twice.
Stadium, arena and a new district of high-rise apartments along Olympic Way. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wembley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, event-day road closures and parking bans; every new block needs a booked lift and bay — 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 Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee).

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Wembley around Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee), with 14% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Wembley — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with 53% of Wembley homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Wembley rounds, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Wembley most weeks on Brent bookings, with this being London Borough of Brent territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee), with this being London Borough of Brent territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 47% flats neighbourhood. With 47% of Wembley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Brent — and this being a short walk from Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee), with 41% of HA9 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Event-day road closures and parking bans; every new block needs a booked lift and bay on HA9 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Brent it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards around Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee) — and 9,097 households on this patch, with 53% of Wembley homes being houses.
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 Wembley, with this being a short walk from Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee) — and 20% 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 Brent letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Brent bookings, with 41% of HA9 homes being privately rented.
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 14% social-rented stock nearby, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open for Wembley (HA9) addresses — and Brent parking rules in play, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Wembley HA9 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Wembley Stadium, with 53% of Wembley homes being houses.
