Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Kilburn, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 93% of Kilburn's 8,237 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW6 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. Kilburn High Road is red-routed; side streets are permit-only with narrow entrances.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Kilburn (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 41% one-person households in Kilburn, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Kilburn

39% of households rent privately and 22% own, which is why fridge and freezer disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in NW6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 41% one-person households in Kilburn, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Kilburn knows the pattern near Kilburn High Road and the Kiln Theatre: a long high road of Irish pubs and independents, flanked by Victorian terraces and estates.

Kilburn High Road is red-routed; side streets are permit-only with narrow entrances. Nearest station is Kilburn (Jubilee), and 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.
