Fridge & Freezer Removal

A fridge is not like a sofa or a wardrobe. Every fridge and freezer contains refrigerant gas in its cooling circuit, and older units also have insulating foam containing similar gases. These are potent greenhouse gases, so the law is strict: a fridge has to be degassed — the refrigerant professionally extracted — before the metal, plastic and compressor can be recycled. That extra step is done at a specialist licensed facility, which is why responsible fridge and freezer removal is priced a little above ordinary bulky-waste collection.

It is also why you should never let a fridge be fly-tipped or dumped with general waste. We collect your appliance from wherever it actually is — a third-floor flat, a garage, a garden, a utility room — do all the lifting, and take it to a licensed WEEE treatment site. You do not need to drag it to the kerb or hire a skip you cannot legally put it in. Every collection is covered by goods-in-transit and public liability insurance.

As well as fridges and freezers we handle fridge-freezers, chest freezers, American-style units, wine coolers and mini-fridges, plus other appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers and cookers on the same visit. If you are replacing an appliance, we can take the old one away when the new one lands.

A lot of our fridge work is for landlords and letting agents at the end of a tenancy, where a dead appliance has to be gone before the next tenant moves in, and for anyone who has had a delivery firm refuse to take the old unit away. We offer same-day collection across London, we come to the appliance rather than making you move it, and we recycle it the right way — no fly-tipping, no fixed penalty risk from an appliance dumped on the street. If you are clearing a whole kitchen or property, it can be rolled into a house clearance instead.
