Newham · E13 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Ham and Plaistow fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for fridge and freezer disposal in West Ham and Plaistow E13? We work in West Ham and Plaistow most weeks — terraced streets and the memory of the Boleyn Ground, with fast links in every direction — and price fridge and freezer disposal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around West Ham, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 55% of West Ham and Plaistow's 3,460 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E13 shape the slot length we hold.
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. West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, so a E13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,460 households inside the E13 neighbourhood in E13, 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 West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground 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.
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. Narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route.
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 →

Working in West Ham and Plaistow
3,460 households sit inside the E13 neighbourhood covering West Ham and Plaistow. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 55% of those homes are flats.
Because 30% of West Ham and Plaistow is privately rented and 40% socially rented, a lot of E13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,460 households inside the E13 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in West Ham and Plaistow is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site.
West Ham and Plaistow 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 — terraced streets and the memory of the Boleyn Ground, with fast links in every direction — which is why a E13 quote is not a Newham average.
Narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route. Nearest station is West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c), 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 West Ham and Plaistow on E13 jobs, with this being London Borough of Newham territory — and this being a short walk from West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c), 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 streets near The former Boleyn Ground site — and 45% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being houses, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for West Ham and Plaistow (E13) addresses, with 40% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in West Ham and Plaistow most weeks on the West Ham and Plaistow rounds, with 29% owner-occupation locally.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on E13 jobs, with 25% one-person households here.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The former Boleyn Ground site. With 55% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on E13 jobs, with 55% of homes here being flats — and 40% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 on this side of Newham — and 40% social-rented stock nearby, with The former Boleyn Ground site a few streets away, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the West Ham and Plaistow E13 price you agree is the price you pay on E13 jobs, with 30% of E13 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 30% of West Ham and Plaistow privately rented and 29% owner-occupied, roughly half the E13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Newham — and 30% of E13 homes being privately rented, with 55% of homes here being flats.
The former Boleyn Ground site is the marker we route to on the streets near The former Boleyn Ground site, with 25% one-person households here, and narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route. A E13 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next across E13, with Newham parking rules in play.
