Ealing · UB6 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenford fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Greenford UB6 for houses and flats around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford. 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 Greenford UB6 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Ealing, most of them inter-war. 12,474 households sit inside this UB6 patch, 41% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Grand Union Canal at Greenford 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
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. Wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 24% one-person households in Greenford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in UB6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Greenford stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford.
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 Greenford
In Greenford (UB6) the split is 41% flats to 58% houses over 12,474 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 30% of Greenford is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of UB6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Greenford substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 24% one-person households in Greenford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Greenford stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford is the mistake that costs a UB6 customer twice.
Canal-side industry, the Central line's wooden escalator and 1930s semis. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, 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.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Greenford on the Greenford rounds, with 53% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Unit size and the refrigerant charge set the floor price; stairs, narrow galley kitchens and integrated housings that need levering out add crew time on top on UB6 jobs, with 17% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on UB6 jobs, with 24% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenford most weeks on the Greenford rounds, with 12,474 households on this patch.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Greenford (Central), with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 41% flats neighbourhood. With 41% of Greenford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Ealing — and Ealing parking rules in play, with 58% of Greenford homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 — and Ealing parking rules in play, with 24% one-person households here, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open for Greenford (UB6) addresses, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenford UB6 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Grand Union Canal at Greenford, with Ealing parking rules in play.
All three. With 30% of Greenford privately rented and 53% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Greenford rounds, with 53% owner-occupation locally — and Ealing parking rules in play.
The Grand Union Canal at Greenford is the marker we route to across UB6, with Ealing parking rules in play, and wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. A UB6 slot added to an existing Ealing round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Greenford rounds, with 41% of homes here being flats.
