Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Banstead border fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Banstead border SM7 for houses and flats around Banstead Downs.

Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Banstead, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 17% of Banstead border's 2,863 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SM7 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
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. Long drives, wide roads and easy turning — straightforward for a Luton.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Banstead (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SM7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in SM7, cavity brickwork outside, a median age of 46 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SM7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Banstead border gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, the reality on the streets around Banstead Downs.
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. |
