Wandsworth · SW18 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Southfields fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance? Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and 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
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Southfields, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 44% of Southfields's 3,815 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW18 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. Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Southfields (District) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Southfields, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance.
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 Southfields
In Southfields (SW18) the split is 44% flats to 56% houses over 3,815 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 33% private renting against 61% owner-occupied, most SW18 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect solid London stock brick in Southfields, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SW18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June. That character decides the practical detail of fridge and freezer disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Southfields is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays. Nearest station is Southfields (District), 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.
