Haringey · N10 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Muswell Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesMuswell Hill N10 is a regular stop on our Haringey round. Edwardian shopping parades on a hilltop with wide views across London, so fridge and freezer disposal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Muswell Hill N10 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 35% privately rented and 5,479 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Haringey permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Steep approach roads, tight parades with short loading bays and long garden paths.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Highgate (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in N10, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Alexandra Palace and Park in N10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 5,479 households inside the N10 neighbourhood.
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.
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 Muswell Hill

Owner-occupation runs at 57% in Muswell Hill, so alongside the 35% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in N10, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Alexandra Palace and Park behind the plaster in N10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 5,479 households inside the N10 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Muswell Hill knows the pattern near Alexandra Palace and Park: edwardian shopping parades on a hilltop with wide views across London. We plan the N10 visit around it. Muswell Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep approach roads, tight parades with short loading bays and long garden paths. Highgate (Northern) is the nearest station, 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.

With 63% of Muswell Hill homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on N10 jobs — and Alexandra Palace and Park a few streets away, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
