Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in South Harrow HA2, explained
Fridge and freezer disposal in South Harrow HA2 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Harrow, most of them inter-war. 3,418 households sit inside this HA2 patch, 55% of them flats, so we quote on access near Alexandra Park, South Harrow rather than a London average.
How it works
How fridge and freezer disposal works in South Harrow
Five steps, the same on every HA2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. South Harrow gives us terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Harrow actually produces is what we plan for here.
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.
Step 2
Fixed price confirmed
The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.
Step 3
Book collection
Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.
Step 4
Careful carry and load
Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.
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 South Harrow customers book us
Four things decide whether a HA2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. South Harrow (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a HA2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
South Harrow walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in HA2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in HA2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,418 households inside the HA2 neighbourhood.
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.
Fixed prices
Fridge and freezer disposal prices in South Harrow
Fixed prices for HA2 and the rest of Harrow. 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.
| 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
What's included in South Harrow
The same scope across HA2, 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, noted on the South Harrow job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Harrow bookings: refrigerant gas recovered by a certified technician at an approved WEEE facility before the unit is processed, allowing for the 37% of HA2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On HA2 jobs: compliance handled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations, with the paperwork kept on file, agreed on the doorstep in South Harrow before anything is unpacked
- In South Harrow: a WEEE transfer note showing the appliance was taken to a permitted treatment facility, timed against the walk in from South Harrow (Piccadilly)
Not included
- Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for, handled by London Borough of Harrow or a specialist contractor instead
- Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes, and we will say so before the HA2 visit rather than on the day
- Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead, quoted separately if you need it arranged in HA2

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Will a built wardrobe fit through a South Harrow doorway?

With 55% of South Harrow homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around South Harrow (Piccadilly) — and 55% of homes here being flats, with this being London Borough of Harrow territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
