London fridge and freezer disposal · East London
Local fridge and freezer disposal for Newham and its 13 covered areas. Olympic Park and Stratford towers, Royal Docks water and dense Victorian terraces at East Ham and Forest Gate.
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. |
Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Every price includes the WEEE facility's degassing and recycling charge, which is fixed per unit regardless of how far it travels. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised separately.
Working in Newham
What our crews walk into in Newham is terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in e20 and the royal docks, and the mix changes street by street — Beckton (E6), Canning Town (E16) and Custom House (E16) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, new-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around east ham are permit-only and tight. Locally that means wide estate roads and off-street parking — among the easiest access in east london and a13 and lower lea crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts. Newham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Under the Ozone-Depleting Substances and F-Gas Regulations, a fridge or freezer cannot legally be crushed or scrapped with the refrigerant still inside it. Newham residents sometimes find this out only when London Borough of Newham rejects a unit left at the kerb. We degas at an approved facility and the compliance sits with us, not you.
Why it looks like this: built for dockers and beckton gasworks labour; the 2012 games rebuilt stratford and the lower lea valley wholesale.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Newham, and the ladder runs up to £30 each for the largest job on the table above. Unit size and the refrigerant charge set the floor price; stairs, narrow galley kitchens and integrated housings that need levering out add crew time on top. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E12, E13, E15, E16, E20, E6 and E7. On the ground that includes Beckton, Canning Town, Custom House, East Ham, East Village and Forest Gate.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. East London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
New-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around East Ham are permit-only and tight. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Newham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in E20 and the Royal Docks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Newham tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Newham postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes and Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. If something on that list turns up in Newham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Didn't clear rubbish from under the bed and some marks on walls look like they haven't been attempted at removing. Other than that was a good job considering the state of the flat.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
