Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Ickenham, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 12% of Ickenham's 2,922 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB10 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
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 23% one-person households in Ickenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

With 12% of Ickenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Ickenham, with 4% social-rented stock nearby — and Ickenham village pump a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
