Camden · NW1 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Regent's Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near The Nash Terraces and London Zoo? Royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Regent's Park NW1 specifically: post-war stock, 55% privately rented and 3,014 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Regent's Park (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 43% one-person households in Regent's Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in NW1, 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 NW1, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around The Nash Terraces and London Zoo.
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. |

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Working in Regent's Park
3,014 households sit inside the NW1 neighbourhood covering Regent's Park. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 92% of those homes are flats.
Because 55% of Regent's Park is privately rented and 7% socially rented, a lot of NW1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Regent's Park substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 43% one-person households in Regent's Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW1, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around The Nash Terraces and London Zoo is the mistake that costs a NW1 customer twice.
Nash terraces and villas facing the park, plus the zoo and Marylebone's northern edge. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Regent's Park 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, royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle — 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 Regent's Park (Bakerloo).
