Overview

Fridge and freezer disposal in Eltham SE9, explained

This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Eltham SE9 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 15% privately rented and 13,732 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.

How it works

How fridge and freezer disposal works in Eltham

Five steps, the same on every SE9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Eltham stock goes, and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
  1. Step 1

    Tell us the type and size

    Under-counter, full-height or American-style — that alone sets the price, no visit needed to quote.

  2. Step 2

    Fixed price confirmed

    The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.

  3. Step 3

    Book collection

    Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.

  4. Step 4

    Careful carry and load

    Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.

  5. Step 5

    Degas and certify

    Taken to an approved WEEE facility where the refrigerant is recovered before scrapping, with the transfer note emailed to you.

Why choose us

Why Eltham customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Eltham wall.

Eltham walls, not generic walls

We expect solid London stock brick in Eltham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 27% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Eltham actually produces in SE9, 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 on these streets — measured on the walk in from Eltham (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.

Insured and documented

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.

Crew sized to the job

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; the high street has timed loading only.

Booked around your day

Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Fridge and freezer disposal prices in Eltham

Fixed prices for SE9 and the rest of Greenwich. 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.
Fridge and freezer disposal price guide for Eltham SE9
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Under-counter fridge or freezer£4520–30 minSmaller 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£6020–30 minPriced per unit for collection plus the WEEE facility's per-item gate fee for degassing and recycling.
American-style or larger fridge-freezer£8530–45 minExtra crew time for the size and weight through a doorway, plus a higher refrigerant charge on some larger units.
Chest or upright freezer£5520–30 minSame F-gas recovery step as a fridge, priced per unit against the approved facility's rate.
Wine cooler or drinks fridge£4015–20 minSmaller refrigerant charge than a full fridge, but still requires the same certified recovery step before scrapping.
Second unit on the same visit£30 eachAdded to visitOne collection, one degassing trip to the facility — each extra unit avoids a second call-out charge.

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Every price includes the WEEE facility's degassing and recycling charge, which is fixed per unit regardless of how far it travels. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised separately.

Scope

What's included in Eltham

The same scope across SE9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • On SE9 jobs: collection from the kitchen, garage or wherever the unit stands — no requirement to move it to the door, local fridge and freezer disposal included
  • In Eltham: refrigerant gas recovered by a certified technician at an approved WEEE facility before the unit is processed, sized for the driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only
  • Compliance handled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations, with the paperwork kept on file, checked on every SE9 visit
  • Standard on Greenwich bookings: a WEEE transfer note showing the appliance was taken to a permitted treatment facility, with 13,732 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most

Not included

  • Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
  • Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes, and we will say so before the SE9 visit rather than on the day
  • Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead, outside the fixed price on Eltham bookings

Working in Eltham

Eltham SE9 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Eltham — the numbers that actually change a fridge and freezer disposal quote.

The SE9 stock around Eltham Palace is mainly Victorian. ONS records 27% flats, 73% houses and 13,732 households in Eltham.

Private renting sits at 15% and owner-occupation at 64%; the first group books fridge and freezer disposal at short notice, the second plans it.

Eltham substrates run to solid London stock brick in Eltham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 27% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Eltham actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Eltham (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE9 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in Eltham: the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

On access, driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only — 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 Eltham (Southeastern).

Common questions

Fridge and freezer disposal in Eltham SE9 — your questions.

  • How much does fridge and freezer disposal cost in Eltham SE9?

    Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Eltham on the streets near Eltham Palace, with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented, 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 for Eltham (SE9) addresses — and 73% of Eltham homes being houses, with Eltham Palace a few streets away.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Eltham SE9?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near Eltham Palace, with 13,732 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Eltham most weeks across SE9, with 28% one-person households here.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Eltham?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Eltham (Southeastern), with Greenwich parking rules in play.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Eltham doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 27% flats neighbourhood. With 27% of Eltham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Greenwich bookings — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with 73% of Eltham homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Who books fridge and freezer disposal in Eltham SE9 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 15% of Eltham privately rented and 64% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Eltham (SE9) addresses — and 27% of homes here being flats, with 73% of Eltham homes being houses.

  • How quickly can you reach Eltham from your Greenwich round?

    Eltham Palace is the marker we route to in this 27% flats neighbourhood, with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented, and driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. A SE9 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Greenwich bookings, with this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern).

  • Is same-day or evening fridge and freezer disposal available in Greenwich?

    Next-day collection is standard across every borough, with Greenwich parking rules in play, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning across SE9. Eltham sits close to Eltham (Southeastern), with 28% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SE9 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice around Eltham (Southeastern).
