Haringey · N22 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Wood Green fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near Alexandra Palace? High Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Wood Green, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 68% of Wood Green's 5,861 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N22 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
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. High Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Wood Green (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a N22 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, measured on the walk in from Wood Green (Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map in N22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Wood Green gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 32% 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. |

Scope
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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 Wood Green
In Wood Green (N22) the split is 68% flats to 32% houses over 5,861 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 43% private renting against 32% owner-occupied, most N22 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Wood Green (Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in N22. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Wood Green gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 32% 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 Mall shopping centre, Turkish and Greek high street and Alexandra Park behind. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wood Green 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: high Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking. Wood Green (Piccadilly) 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.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Wood Green around Wood Green (Piccadilly), with 43% of N22 homes being privately rented, 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 in Wood Green — and 68% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Wood Green (Piccadilly).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on N22 jobs, with Alexandra Palace a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Wood Green most weeks on this side of Haringey, with 32% of Wood Green homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on N22 jobs, with 43% of N22 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Haringey. With 68% of Wood Green homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across N22, with 25% social-rented stock nearby, 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 on this side of Haringey, with 32% owner-occupation locally, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Wood Green N22 price you agree is the price you pay in this 68% flats neighbourhood, with 5,861 households on this patch.
All three. With 43% of Wood Green privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the N22 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Haringey — and 25% social-rented stock nearby, with Alexandra Palace a few streets away.
Alexandra Palace is the marker we route to in Wood Green, with 32% one-person households here, and high Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking. A N22 slot added to an existing Haringey round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Haringey, with Haringey parking rules in play.
