Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Kenton HA3 specifically: inter-war stock, 26% privately rented and 6,923 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Harrow 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
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a HA3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, and easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street in HA3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Kenton stock goes, and with 26% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street.
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. |

Working in Kenton
In Kenton (HA3) the split is 16% flats to 84% houses over 6,923 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (66% owned, 26% privately rented) means a HA3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kenton substrates run to timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, and easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Kenton stock goes, and with 26% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a HA3 customer twice.
Kenton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — uniform interwar semis between Harrow and Wembley, quiet and residential — which is why a HA3 quote is not a Harrow average.
On access, easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground).
