Ealing · UB6 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Perivale fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near The Hoover Building on Western Avenue? Driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest, 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
Fridge and freezer disposal in Perivale UB6 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Ealing, most of them inter-war. 2,939 households sit inside this UB6 patch, 36% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Hoover Building on Western Avenue 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. Perivale (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 — and solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Perivale stock goes, and with 40% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest.
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 Perivale
2,939 households sit inside the UB6 neighbourhood covering Perivale. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 36% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (53% owned, 40% privately rented) means a UB6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Perivale is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Perivale stock goes, and with 40% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Perivale is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Art Deco Hoover Building, the golf course and 1930s semis along the Western Avenue — which is why a UB6 quote is not a Ealing average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest. Perivale (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.
