Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Survey and list white goods to remove, noting location, size and any fixed connections

• isolate and unplug electrical appliances and make safe electrical connections where competent

• secure hoses and doors, drain water where needed and pad items to protect floors and walls

• move goods from kitchen/utility to vehicle using trolleys and protective kit

• transport to an authorised recycling facility or licensed waste centre and dispose responsibly

• provide a waste transfer note or receipt and notify of any items requiring specialist handling (fridges/freezers)

• offer optional services such as stair carry, narrow-access handling and arranging F‑gas certified de‑gassing at extra cost

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Single domestic appliance removal typically takes 20–45 minutes on site. Multiple items, tight internal access or long stair carries extend time to 1–3 hours. Expect longer if a Gas Safe or F‑gas certified technician is required or if parking and loading restrictions slow vehicle access

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you insured for accidental damage and can you show proof of insurance?

• can you provide a waste transfer note or receipt for lawful disposal?

• are you F‑gas certified to recover refrigerant from fridges/freezers or will you arrange a specialist?

• do you disconnect gas or plumbed appliances or should I book a Gas Safe/plumber separately?

• how do you charge — per item, per hour or per load — and what extras might apply?

• will you need parking permits, restricted access passes or resident permission for collection from communal areas?

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear routes and doorways and remove loose rugs or obstacles

• empty fridges/freezers of food and defrost to avoid leaks and contamination

• reserve kerbside parking or arrange a permit for the removal vehicle

• tell the team about tight staircases, lifts, low ceilings or communal rules before booking

• keep pets and children away from work areas and provide access for a responsible adult

• confirm who handles specialist disconnections (gas, F‑gas) and whether that is included or extra
