Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for West Drayton and Yiewsley UB7 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 7,842 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hillingdon 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. West Drayton (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a UB7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 22% one-person households in West Drayton and Yiewsley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in UB7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the West Drayton and Yiewsley stock goes, the reality on the streets around West Drayton Green and the Grand Union Canal.
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. Canal bridges limit access; new estates have wide roads and allocated parking.
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.

Working in West Drayton and Yiewsley
West Drayton and Yiewsley UB7 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 36% of homes here are flats and 64% are houses, across 7,842 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (48% owned, 27% privately rented) means a UB7 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 22% one-person households in West Drayton and Yiewsley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in UB7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the West Drayton and Yiewsley stock goes, the reality on the streets around West Drayton Green and the Grand Union Canal is the fault we are called back to undo.
West Drayton and Yiewsley 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 — canal-side town on the Colne, with the green, the station and new housing — which is why a UB7 quote is not a Hillingdon average.
On access, canal bridges limit access; new estates have wide roads and allocated parking — 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.
