Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Enfield Lock and Ponders End fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for fridge and freezer disposal in Enfield Lock and Ponders End EN3? We work in Enfield Lock and Ponders End most weeks — lee Valley waterside, the old small-arms factory and new riverside housing — 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
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Enfield Lock, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 42% of Enfield Lock and Ponders End's 4,419 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EN3 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
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Enfield Lock (Greater Anglia) is the nearest station, so a EN3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Enfield Lock and Ponders End, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Enfield Lock (Greater Anglia) rather than assumed from a map in EN3, 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 Enfield Lock and Ponders End stock goes, which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Enfield Lock and Ponders End actually produces.
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. Narrow lock-side lanes, new blocks with booked lifts and industrial-estate access roads.
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.

Enfield Lock and Ponders End substrates run to solid London stock brick in Enfield Lock and Ponders End, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Enfield Lock (Greater Anglia) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Enfield Lock and Ponders End stock goes, which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Enfield Lock and Ponders End actually produces is the mistake that costs a EN3 customer twice.
Enfield Lock and Ponders End 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: narrow lock-side lanes, new blocks with booked lifts and industrial-estate access roads. Enfield Lock (Greater Anglia) 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.
