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. Resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Belsize Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around Belsize Village in NW3, 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 Belsize Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. |

With 51% private renting against 39% owner-occupied, most NW3 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Belsize Park substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around Belsize Village. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Belsize Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW3 customer twice.
Stucco villas and mansion blocks on the slope between Hampstead and Chalk Farm.

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, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open on the Belsize Park rounds — and this being London Borough of Camden territory, with 7% of Belsize Park homes being houses, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead.
