Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in Wandsworth Town SW18, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Wandsworth Town, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 84% of Wandsworth Town's 4,214 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW18 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How fridge and freezer disposal works in Wandsworth Town
Five steps, the same on every SW18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Wandsworth Town stock goes, and with 38% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the type and size
Under-counter, full-height or American-style — that alone sets the price, no visit needed to quote.
Step 2
Fixed price confirmed
The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.
Step 3
Book collection
Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.
Step 4
Careful carry and load
Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.
Step 5
Degas and certify
Taken to an approved WEEE facility where the refrigerant is recovered before scrapping, with the transfer note emailed to you.
Why choose us
Why Wandsworth Town customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW18 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Wandsworth Town (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Wandsworth Town walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Fridge and freezer disposal prices in Wandsworth Town
Fixed prices for SW18 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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.
| 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. |
