Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day.

Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Wimbledon SW19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 34% privately rented and 23,023 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton 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
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. Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW19, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and championship-fortnight restrictions, steep wimbledon hill road and village conservation limits in SW19, 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 in SW19, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Wimbledon substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SW19, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and championship-fortnight restrictions, steep wimbledon hill road and village conservation limits. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW19, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SW19 customer twice.
The town centre and theatre below, the Village and common above. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wimbledon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits. Nearest station is Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink), 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.
