London fridge and freezer disposal · West London
Fridge and freezer disposal across Hammersmith and Fulham, from NW10, SW6 and W12 outwards. Riverside Fulham terraces, Hammersmith's flyover and offices, and White City's media and university campus, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |

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.
Working in Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham is built from two-storey victorian terraces, mansion blocks along the river and new towers at white city and fulham reach, and the mix changes street by street — Barons Court (W14), Brook Green (W6) and Fulham (SW6) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham sets the constraint: very tight cpzs, red routes on the a4 and fulham palace road, and match-day closures around craven cottage and loftus road. Locally that means permit-only streets, mansion-block stair carries and a4 red-route restrictions on the southern edge and mansion blocks with narrow original staircases and no service lift, plus permit bays on every side street. Hammersmith and Fulham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham treats fridges, freezers and any appliance holding refrigerant as WEEE and will not take them in a standard bulky collection in Hammersmith and Fulham — they go through a separate booking, usually with a longer wait, because the gas has to be recovered before the unit can be scrapped. We recover and log that gas on every job, same-day.
Why it looks like this: market gardens and riverside industry, then dense victorian terracing; the bbc and later westfield reshaped white city.
Scope
Method
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.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Hammersmith and Fulham, and the ladder runs up to £30 each for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: NW10, SW6, W12, W14 and W6. On the ground that includes Barons Court, Brook Green, Fulham, Hammersmith, Parsons Green and Sands End.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. West London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Very tight CPZs, red routes on the A4 and Fulham Palace Road, and match-day closures around Craven Cottage and Loftus Road. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Two-storey Victorian terraces, mansion blocks along the river and new towers at White City and Fulham Reach is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hammersmith and Fulham postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for, Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes and Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. If something on that list turns up in Hammersmith and Fulham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
