Overview

Fridge and freezer disposal in West Kensington and Olympia W14, explained

Fridge and freezer disposal in West Kensington and Olympia W14 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Hammersmith and Fulham, most of them post-war. 4,112 households sit inside this W14 patch, 95% of them flats, so we quote on access near Olympia London rather than a London average.

How it works

How fridge and freezer disposal works in West Kensington and Olympia

Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. West Kensington and Olympia gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, the reality on the streets around Olympia London 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 West Kensington and Olympia customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a West Kensington and Olympia wall.

West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls

We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W14, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W14, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) 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. Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.

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. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Fridge and freezer disposal prices in West Kensington and Olympia

Fixed prices for W14 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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 West Kensington and Olympia W14
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 West Kensington and Olympia

The same scope across W14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Collection from the kitchen, garage or wherever the unit stands — no requirement to move it to the door, checked on every W14 visit
  • Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: refrigerant gas recovered by a certified technician at an approved WEEE facility before the unit is processed, with 4,112 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
  • On W14 jobs: compliance handled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations, with the paperwork kept on file, fridge and freezer disposal included
  • In West Kensington and Olympia: a WEEE transfer note showing the appliance was taken to a permitted treatment facility, sized for the event-day congestion at olympia, red routes on north end road and small block lifts

Not included

  • Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for, which we refer on to the right trade in West Kensington and Olympia
  • Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes, handled by London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham or a specialist contractor instead
  • 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 West Kensington and Olympia bookings

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 →

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in West Kensington and Olympia?

    For W14 bookings, 5–2 hours.

Around Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.

With 95% of West Kensington and Olympia homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings — and 95% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Who books fridge and freezer disposal in West Kensington and Olympia W14 — tenants, landlords or owners?
