Overview

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. Every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E15, often with surface conduit — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in E15, 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 on these streets — and with 28% one-person households in Stratford, 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.

Stratford substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E15, often with surface conduit — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 28% one-person households in Stratford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a E15 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Stratford knows the pattern near Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: westfield, the Olympic Park and a skyline of new residential towers. We plan the E15 visit around it. Stratford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Stratford on E15 jobs, with 28% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 on the Stratford rounds — and 35% social-rented stock nearby, with 10,391 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across E15, with 10,391 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Stratford most weeks on this side of Newham, with 28% one-person households here.
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 Stratford rounds, with 10,391 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Stratford (E15) addresses. With 61% of Stratford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with 35% 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 in Stratford — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, with Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a few streets away, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), with 39% of Stratford homes being houses.
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; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open for Stratford (E15) addresses, with 37% of E15 homes being privately rented, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Stratford E15 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with this being a short walk from Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR).
All three. With 37% of Stratford privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the E15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on E15 jobs — and 28% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR).
