Ealing · W13 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Ealing and Northfields fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for fridge and freezer disposal in West Ealing and Northfields W13? We work in West Ealing and Northfields most weeks — the Broadway market, Dean Gardens and the Brentham garden suburb nearby — and price fridge and freezer disposal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in West Ealing and Northfields W13 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Ealing, most of them mainly Edwardian. 8,040 households sit inside this W13 patch, 53% of them flats, so we quote on access near Brentham Garden Suburb 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. Level-crossing delays, market-day loading limits and permit bays near the station.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. West Ealing (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a W13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in West Ealing and Northfields, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 8,040 households inside the W13 neighbourhood in W13, 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 W13, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Brentham Garden Suburb.
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. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →
