Bromley · BR7 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Chislehurst fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Chislehurst BR7 for houses and flats around Chislehurst Caves and the commons. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in Chislehurst BR7 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them mainly Victorian. 9,685 households sit inside this BR7 patch, 21% of them flats, so we quote on access near Chislehurst Caves and the commons 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
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. Common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Chislehurst (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Chislehurst (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in BR7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Chislehurst stock goes, where 77% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 Chislehurst
Chislehurst BR7 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 21% of homes here are flats and 79% are houses, across 9,685 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 14% of Chislehurst is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of BR7 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, measured on the walk in from Chislehurst (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in BR7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Chislehurst stock goes, where 77% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Commons, caves and a village of large houses on the Kent border. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Chislehurst is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives — 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 Chislehurst (Southeastern).
