Fridge Freezer Removal & Disposal in London

Fridge freezers are one of the trickiest household appliances to get rid of. They weigh between 60 and 80 kg, they contain refrigerant gases that are illegal to release into the atmosphere, and most council bulky waste services either charge extra or have long waiting times for cooling appliances.

Whether you are upgrading your kitchen, clearing a rental property, or dealing with a unit that has broken down mid-summer, our team collects fridge freezers from anywhere on your London property – including upper-floor flats, basements, and tight galley kitchens.

All fridge freezers contain refrigerant gases (commonly R600a or R134a in modern units, and older CFCs in pre-2004 models). Under the F-gas Regulation and Ozone Depleting Substances Regulation, these must be recovered by a certified technician before the appliance can be dismantled or recycled. We take every unit to a licensed treatment facility that does exactly this.

We collect all types: standard top-mount and bottom-mount fridge freezers, American-style side-by-side units, integrated built-in models, and compact under-counter fridge freezers. Domestic and commercial units alike.

What you get

What Makes Fridge Freezer Disposal Different

  • Refrigerant Gas ExtractionFridge freezers contain gases like R600a (isobutane) or R134a that must be professionally recovered. Older units may still contain CFCs. We take every unit to a licensed facility for this, so you stay fully compliant.
  • Insulation Foam ProcessingThe polyurethane foam insulation in fridge freezers often contains blowing agents that need specialist treatment. Licensed facilities process this separately from the main unit.
  • Heavy Unit HandlingAmerican-style fridge freezers can weigh over 120 kg. Our two-person teams use appliance trolleys and straps designed for heavy cooling units on stairs and through tight spaces.
  • Built-In Unit ExtractionIntegrated fridge freezers need careful removal from kitchen cabinetry. We disconnect and extract built-in models without damaging surrounding units or worktops.
  • Material RecoverySteel, aluminium, copper, and plastics are all separated and sent for recycling, with landfill only as a last resort.
  • Faster Than Council CollectionLondon councils often have a waiting list and item limits for bulky waste collections. We offer same-day or next-day slots.

Contact us by phone, WhatsApp, or our online form with details about your fridge freezer – the type (freestanding, American-style, integrated), which floor it is on, and any access issues. We will send you a fixed price. Once confirmed, our team arrives at your chosen time, handles all the heavy lifting, and takes the unit away for certified recycling. Same-day slots are available when you book early, subject to availability.

A standard fridge freezer starts from £115: our smallest load (£45) plus a £70 eco-charge, which covers refrigerant recovery and WEEE-compliant recycling.

Yes, we collect fridge freezers in any condition – broken, working, rusted, dented, or water-damaged. A broken compressor does not change the disposal requirements; the refrigerant still needs to be professionally extracted. The recycling process is the same regardless of whether the appliance works. If your unit is leaking, let us know when booking so we can bring appropriate containment equipment.

Ideally, yes. Switching off and defrosting your fridge freezer 24 hours before collection prevents water dripping through your property during removal. Empty all food, leave the doors open, and place towels underneath to catch melt water. If defrosting is not possible – for example, the unit died suddenly – we can still collect it, but please let us know so the team comes prepared.

Yes. Many London properties have kitchens on upper floors, and fridge freezers are one of the heaviest appliances to move down stairs. Our two-person teams use heavy-duty appliance trolleys and securing straps designed for exactly this. We regularly collect from flats above shops, maisonettes, and upper-floor conversions. Just tell us the floor level and any tight corners when you book so we send the right equipment.

The unit is transported to a licensed Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF), where a certified technician extracts the refrigerant gas using specialist recovery equipment and the unit is dismantled. Steel, aluminium, copper wiring, and plastic components are separated for recycling. The polyurethane insulation foam is processed separately because it contains blowing agents. Materials are recycled wherever possible, with landfill only as a last resort.

Yes. Book early in the day and we can usually collect your fridge freezer the same day, subject to availability, 7 days a week. This is particularly useful when a unit has broken down and you need the space cleared for a replacement, or when you are on a tight renovation timeline. For less urgent removals, we offer flexible morning or afternoon time slots throughout the week.

We do not deliver new appliances, but we can time our collection to coincide with your delivery. Many customers book us for the morning before their new fridge freezer arrives in the afternoon. This way the space is clear and ready. If your retailer offers removal but charges a hefty fee for it, compare their price with ours – we are often more affordable, and every collection comes with a waste transfer note.

The disposal process is essentially the same – both require certified refrigerant recovery and WEEE-compliant recycling. The practical difference is size and weight: a combined fridge freezer is typically taller and heavier than a standalone fridge, which affects how many crew members are needed and how we navigate it through your property. American-style fridge freezers are wider than standard UK doorframes (usually 90cm+ wide), so we may need to remove doors or handles during collection.

Yes. American-style fridge freezers are one of our most common collections. These units are typically 90–95cm wide and weigh 100–130 kg, which means they will not fit through many London doorways without removing the fridge doors or handles first. Our team carries the right tools and knows the technique. We also handle plumbed-in models with water and ice dispensers – just make sure the water supply is turned off before we arrive.
