Southwark · SE15 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Peckham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building? Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices fridge and freezer disposal for Peckham SE15 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 23% privately rented and 24,172 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE15, 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 Peckham stock goes, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Peckham actually produces.
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. Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays.
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 Peckham
In Peckham (SE15) the split is 72% flats to 28% houses over 24,172 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 23% private renting against 31% owner-occupied, most SE15 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Peckham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Peckham stock goes, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Peckham actually produces.
Peckham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — rye Lane's markets, rooftop bars and Georgian terraces around Peckham Rye — which is why a SE15 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, 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 Peckham on the streets near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building, with 31% owner-occupation locally, 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 across SE15 — and 32% one-person households here, with 46% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Southwark, with Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Peckham most weeks, with 28% of Peckham homes being houses.
In Peckham, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Southwark bookings, with 24,172 households on this patch. Ask for it in writing before the SE15 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building. With 72% of Peckham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Peckham (SE15) addresses — and this being a short walk from Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink), with 28% of Peckham homes being houses, 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 — and this being a short walk from Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink), which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open on Southwark bookings, with 72% of homes here being flats, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Peckham SE15 price you agree is the price you pay on the Peckham rounds, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
All three. With 23% of Peckham privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Peckham — and 32% one-person households here, with Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building a few streets away.
