We collect the big, heavy kitchen and utility appliances that will not fit in a car. One item or several, from homes and businesses.

Front-loaders, top-loaders and washer dryers
Vented, condenser and heat pump

Fridges and freezers contain refrigerant gases and insulating foam. They cannot simply go for scrap with other metal. They have to be taken to a facility that can treat them safely, and we make sure they get there.

Working or not
Taken to a facility that can deal with refrigerant gases and foam.
Everything goes through approved waste facilities or transfer routes, in line with government guidelines.
Before collection day
None of this is essential. We do the lifting and loading. But these small things help the day go smoothly.
Empty it
Clear out food, clothes, dishes and anything else inside.
Defrost fridges and freezers
Switch off a day ahead if you can, so it does not leak on the way out.
Disconnect and drain if you can
Washing machines and dishwashers that are already disconnected are quicker to collect.
Gas cookers: book an engineer
They must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer first.
Clear a path
Move anything that is in the way between the appliance and the door.
So we can plan the right help for the job and avoid delays on the day.
Clear details up front mean a better quote and a quicker collection.
How it works

A clear quote, then a collection time that suits you.
We carry it out, load it and send it down the right route.
