Richmond upon Thames · TW11 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Teddington fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Teddington TW11 for houses and flats around Teddington Lock and Bushy Park. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Teddington, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 46% of Teddington's 10,821 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW11 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. Teddington (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in TW11, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 32% one-person households in Teddington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in TW11, 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 TW11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways.
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 Teddington
10,821 households sit inside the TW11 neighbourhood covering Teddington. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 46% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (65% owned, 25% privately rented) means a TW11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Teddington substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in TW11, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 32% one-person households in Teddington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in TW11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.
Teddington 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 — the lock, a village high street and Bushy Park on the doorstep — which is why a TW11 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. Nearest station is Teddington (South Western), 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 Teddington on TW11 jobs, with 32% 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 around Teddington (South Western) — and this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across TW11, with this being a short walk from Teddington (South Western). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Teddington most weeks around Teddington (South Western), with 25% of TW11 homes being privately rented.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Teddington (TW11) addresses, with 25% of TW11 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Teddington. With 46% of Teddington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Teddington (South Western) — and 54% of Teddington homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, 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 across TW11, with 54% of Teddington homes being houses — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Teddington TW11 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with Teddington Lock and Bushy Park a few streets away.
All three. With 25% of Teddington privately rented and 65% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Richmond upon Thames bookings — and 54% of Teddington homes being houses, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
Teddington Lock and Bushy Park is the marker we route to on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 32% one-person households here, and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. A TW11 slot added to an existing Richmond upon Thames round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Teddington rounds, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
