Westminster · W1 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Mayfair fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking fridge and freezer disposal near Berkeley Square? Extremely tight kerbside, mews arches under 2.1m and listed interiors needing floor and stair protection, 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 Mayfair W1 specifically: mixed-era stock, 57% privately rented and 3,555 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Westminster City Council 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. Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in W1, 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, as the Mayfair stock goes, the reality on the streets around Berkeley Square.
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. Extremely tight kerbside, mews arches under 2.1m and listed interiors needing floor and stair protection.
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 Mayfair
In Mayfair (W1) the split is 88% flats to 12% houses over 3,555 households, and the stock is mixed-era.
Because 57% of Mayfair is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of W1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Mayfair is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Mayfair stock goes, the reality on the streets around Berkeley Square.
Mayfair 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 — grosvenor and Berkeley squares, private members' clubs and the flagship stores of Bond Street — which is why a W1 quote is not a Westminster average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: extremely tight kerbside, mews arches under 2.1m and listed interiors needing floor and stair protection. Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line) 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.

With 88% of Mayfair homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Berkeley Square, with 3,555 households on this patch — and Westminster parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
