Hackney · N16 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Stoke Newington fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Stoke Newington N16 for houses and flats around Clissold Park and Abney Park Cemetery. 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 renter-heavy households around Stoke Newington, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 73% of Stoke Newington's 11,669 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N16 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. Stoke Newington (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Stoke Newington gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Church Street loading windows, LTN filters and steep front steps on Georgian houses.
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.

Working in Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington N16 is Georgian and early Victorian and renter-heavy: 73% of homes here are flats and 27% are houses, across 11,669 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (34% owned, 37% privately rented) means a N16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Stoke Newington substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Stoke Newington gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a N16 customer twice.
Stoke Newington 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 — church Street's independents, Clissold Park and Georgian terraces — which is why a N16 quote is not a Hackney average.
On access, church Street loading windows, LTN filters and steep front steps on Georgian houses — 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 Stoke Newington (Overground).
