Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Euston, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 96% of Euston's 2,719 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW1 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. HS2 construction diversions, red routes on Euston Road and estate blocks with single small lifts.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Euston (Northern, Victoria, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW1, often with surface conduit — with 67% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in NW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is what a 96% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Euston actually produces.
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. |

Working in Euston
Walk Euston from Euston Station and the Regent's Park Estate outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 96% of the 2,719 households in NW1 live in flats, 4% in houses.
20% of households rent privately and 12% own, which is why fridge and freezer disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Euston substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW1, often with surface conduit — with 67% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in NW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is what a 96% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Euston actually produces is the mistake that costs a NW1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Euston knows the pattern near Euston Station and the Regent's Park Estate: station forecourt, HS2 works and the Regent's Park Estate behind. We plan the NW1 visit around it. Euston sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, HS2 construction diversions, red routes on Euston Road and estate blocks with single small lifts — 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 Euston (Northern, Victoria, National Rail).
