Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Canning Town fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near Bow Creek Ecology Park?

Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Canning Town E16 specifically: post-war stock, 38% privately rented and 14,847 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham 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. Canning Town (Jubilee, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Canning Town, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Canning Town (Jubilee, DLR) rather than assumed from a map in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Canning Town stock goes, the reality on the streets around Bow Creek Ecology Park.
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. A13 and Lower Lea Crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts.
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. 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 →

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Canning Town, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Canning Town (Jubilee, DLR) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Canning Town is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Canning Town stock goes, the reality on the streets around Bow Creek Ecology Park.
Canning Town 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 — rebuilt interchange district of new blocks beside the Lea mouth and Bow Creek — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
On access, a13 and Lower Lea Crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts — one reason 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.
