Hammersmith and Fulham · W12 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local White City fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in White City W12 for houses and flats around Television Centre. 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
Fridge and freezer disposal in White City W12 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Hammersmith and Fulham, most of them post-war. 2,536 households sit inside this W12 patch, 86% of them flats, so we quote on access near Television Centre rather than a London average.
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. Estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. White City (Central) is the nearest station, so a W12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 62% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in W12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is White City gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. 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 →

Working in White City
2,536 households sit inside the W12 neighbourhood covering White City. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 86% of those homes are flats.
With 17% private renting against 20% owner-occupied, most W12 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 62% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in W12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why White City gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
The old BBC campus, Imperial's new science quarter and towers of new flats. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. White City is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes. Nearest station is White City (Central), 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.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in White City on the White City rounds, with 14% of White City homes being houses, 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 White City (W12) addresses — and 14% of White City homes being houses, with Hammersmith and Fulham parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in White City most weeks in this 86% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Television Centre, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood. With 86% of homes in White City being flats, we plan the route up front.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings. With 86% of White City homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 86% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham territory — and 26% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open across W12, with this being London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham territory — and Hammersmith and Fulham parking rules in play, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the White City W12 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Hammersmith and Fulham, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 17% of White City privately rented and 20% owner-occupied, roughly half the W12 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings — and 14% of White City homes being houses, with Television Centre a few streets away.
Television Centre is the marker we route to around White City (Central), with 14% of White City homes being houses, and estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes. A W12 slot added to an existing Hammersmith and Fulham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in White City, with Television Centre a few streets away.
