Greenwich · SE10 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenwich Peninsula fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Greenwich Peninsula SE10 for houses and flats around The O2 Arena. 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
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around North Greenwich, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula's 3,769 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 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
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. Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE10, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,769 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Greenwich Peninsula gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The O2 Arena.
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 Greenwich Peninsula
In Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) the split is 78% flats to 22% houses over 3,769 households, and the stock is recent new-build.
The social-housing-led mix here (44% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SE10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE10, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,769 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Greenwich Peninsula gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The O2 Arena is the fault we are called back to undo.
The O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenwich Peninsula is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block. Nearest station is North Greenwich (Jubilee), 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.
