Camden · NW1 · Fridge and freezer disposal

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 Camden Town NW1 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 2,940 households sit inside this NW1 patch, 86% of them flats, so we quote on access near Camden Lock Market 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
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Camden Town (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is what a 86% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Camden Town actually produces in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Camden Town gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Market congestion all weekend, seven-day CPZ and narrow streets where a Luton has to double-park with a marshal.
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. |

Camden Town substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is what a 86% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Camden Town actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Camden Town gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW1 customer twice.
Camden Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — market crowds, canal-side stalls and Victorian terraces packed with shared houses and flats — which is why a NW1 quote is not a Camden average.
