Richmond upon Thames · TW1 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Twickenham fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Twickenham TW1 for houses and flats around Twickenham Stadium and Strawberry Hill House. 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
Fridge and freezer disposal in Twickenham TW1 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 13,661 households sit inside this TW1 patch, 39% of them flats, so we quote on access near Twickenham Stadium and Strawberry Hill House rather than a London average.
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
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. Match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Twickenham (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access in TW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Twickenham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.

Working in Twickenham
Twickenham TW1 is Georgian and early Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 39% of homes here are flats and 61% are houses, across 13,661 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 27% of Twickenham is privately rented and 7% socially rented, a lot of TW1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access, so the fixing that matters in Twickenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Twickenham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Rugby's home ground, riverside Georgian villas and Eel Pie Island. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Twickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access — 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.
