Lambeth · SE27 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Norwood fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in West Norwood SE27 for houses and flats around West Norwood Cemetery. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in West Norwood SE27 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Victorian. 10,658 households sit inside this SE27 patch, 60% of them flats, so we quote on access near West Norwood Cemetery rather than a London average.
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
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. Steep hills, narrow terraced streets and market-day closures on Norwood Road.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. West Norwood (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SE27 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE27, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around West Norwood Cemetery.
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 West Norwood
West Norwood SE27 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 60% of homes here are flats and 40% are houses, across 10,658 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 26% of West Norwood is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of SE27 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
West Norwood substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around West Norwood Cemetery is the mistake that costs a SE27 customer twice.
Cemetery, Feast street market and Victorian terraces climbing towards Crystal Palace. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. West Norwood sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep hills, narrow terraced streets and market-day closures on Norwood Road. Nearest station is West Norwood (Southern), 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.
