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. Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Barnes (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW15, 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 Roehampton stock goes, and with 25% 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. |

Working in Roehampton
Roehampton SW15 is inter-war and social-housing-led: 75% of homes here are flats and 25% are houses, across 9,539 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (35% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SW15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Roehampton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Roehampton stock goes, 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 SW15 customer twice.
The Alton Estate's modernist slabs beside Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Roehampton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches — 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. Fitters travelling in use Barnes (South Western).
