Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Chessington KT9 specifically: inter-war stock, 14% privately rented and 5,734 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames 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. Chessington North (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 24% one-person households in Chessington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in KT9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Chessington gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 20% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Chessington actually produces.
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, driveways and easy turning throughout.
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 Chessington
Chessington KT9 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 20% of homes here are flats and 80% are houses, across 5,734 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 14% of Chessington is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of KT9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 24% one-person households in Chessington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Chessington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Chessington gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 20% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Chessington actually produces.
Chessington 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 — post-war suburbia at the edge of the green belt, best known for the theme park — which is why a KT9 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout. Chessington North (South Western) 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.
