London fridge and freezer disposal · Central London
Fridge and freezer disposal across Southwark, from SE1, SE15 and SE16 outwards. South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |
Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Every price includes the WEEE facility's degassing and recycling charge, which is fixed per unit regardless of how far it travels. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised separately.
Working in Southwark
Southwark is built from riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the aylesbury, victorian terraces and dulwich's detached villas, and the mix changes street by street — Bermondsey (SE16), Camberwell (SE5) and Canada Water (SE16) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Southwark sets the constraint: riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the new kent road and cpzs from se1 to peckham. Locally that means railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays and hospital-area restrictions, narrow georgian streets and steep front steps. Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Under the Ozone-Depleting Substances and F-Gas Regulations, a fridge or freezer cannot legally be crushed or scrapped with the refrigerant still inside it. Southwark residents sometimes find this out only when London Borough of Southwark rejects a unit left at the kerb. We degas at an approved facility and the compliance sits with us, not you.
Southwark took its present shape because london's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Southwark, and the ladder runs up to £30 each for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: SE1, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24 and SE5. On the ground that includes Bermondsey, Camberwell, Canada Water, Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and Elephant and Castle.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Southwark and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Southwark tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Southwark postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. If something on that list turns up in Southwark, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
Dara and the team did a great job - cleaned thoroughly. They were there early and ensured all rubbish was carefully removed afterwards. Would recommend.
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
