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
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. Championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Wimbledon Park (District) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Wimbledon Park actually produces in SW19, 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 on these streets — and with 22% one-person households in Wimbledon Park, 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.
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 Wimbledon Park
Census 2021 puts Wimbledon Park at 3,512 households with a median age of 35. The mainly Edwardian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 58% houses and 42% flats need different handling in SW19.
Owner-occupation runs at 61% in Wimbledon Park, so alongside the 30% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Wimbledon Park actually produces behind the plaster in SW19. 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 on these streets — and with 22% one-person households in Wimbledon Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Wimbledon Park knows the pattern near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door: the park and lake below the tennis grounds, with Edwardian streets on the slope down to Southfields. We plan the SW19 visit around it. Wimbledon Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes. Nearest station is Wimbledon Park (District), 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.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Wimbledon Park, with 42% of homes here being flats, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Wimbledon Park, with 61% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Wimbledon Park most weeks for Wimbledon Park (SW19) addresses, with 9% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Wimbledon Park rounds, with 58% of Wimbledon Park homes being houses.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SW19. With 42% of Wimbledon Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Merton — and this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District), with 9% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 across SW19, with Merton parking rules in play — and 61% owner-occupation locally, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip. That paperwork is what most Merton letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Wimbledon Park (District), with 22% one-person households here.
Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for; Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, with 42% of homes here being flats, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open across SW19 — and Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door a few streets away, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Wimbledon Park SW19 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Merton, with this being London Borough of Merton territory.
All three. With 30% of Wimbledon Park privately rented and 61% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW19 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Wimbledon Park rounds — and this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District), with 9% social-rented stock nearby.
